The Flyers will hold open tryouts at Alexian Field in Schaumburg on Sunday May 2nd, 2010. As second year manager Mike Busch starts to put his 2010 roster together, he's looking for that local diamond in the rough.
Players can sign up in advance to guarantee their spot at the tryout. The cost to participate is $40.00. The fee will be waived for anyone with Double-A experience or higher. Players who impress the Flyers coaching staff will be asked back for a private workout on Monday May 3, 2009. "Chicago is a strong baseball city, and I'm sure that there are players out there that the big league scouts have missed out on," said Flyers manager Mike Busch. "Hopefully we can spot one of those guys at this May tryout."
In a 1999 open tryout, Jim Rushford impressed then manager Ron Kittle, and. just two years later was named the Milwaukee Brewers’ Minor League Player of the Year. Rushford made his major league debut in the summer of 2002.
