TRAVERSE CITY, MI - The Traverse City Beach Bums today announced the signing of outfielder Brad Roblin, who played collegiately at the University of Michigan from 2004-2007.
A native of Wayland, Mass., Roblin made over 150 starts in his four-year career with the Wolverines and is fourth on the Michigan all-time list in stolen bases with 53.
