Greene, Parsons and Daab were selected to boost the team's title hopes and give the team a hometown advantage, tournament-level experience and playing ability.
"Greene should be a star in the [Texas Collegiate League] this summer," said Ben Krauss, media relations director for the Bombers. "He was one of the premier second basemen in the country this spring and should continue to improve throughout the summer."
Greene joins the Bombers after an impressive junior season with the Aggies, during which he hit .352 with 11 doubles, 11 home runs and 10 stolen bases in a breakout season that included a .375 average in Big 12 conference play.
The team feels that Parsons will be a great asset to the team and an ideal power-hitting first baseman.
"Parsons should also be a strong contributor for the Bombers," Krauss said. "We also have a few other talented first basemen, so he should receive time at DH and possibly left field, too."
Daab, who was on medical redshirt for the Aggies this past spring after an elbow injury last fall, is thought to be an important addition to the Bombers pitching staff this summer.
"Daab's time will be limited somewhat, as he is coming back from Tommy John surgery," Krauss said. "He has a lot of ability, though, and will look to improve as the summer progresses and he gets in better baseball condition."
Aggies who want to support the team can watch all 45 games live on www.ustream.tv. The Bombers and College Station Hilton have partnered to give fans the opportunity to watch the games. KZNE 1150 am are also scheduled to broadcast all 24 home games.
