Results tagged ' Wil Myers '
My Vote for AL and NL Rookie of the Year
I decided to combine my vote for American League and National League Rookie of the Year (R.O.Y.) into one post, because as hard as I tried to think of a case for several American League players for the award, I couldn't. Though Jose Iglesias and a few other players had decent rookie seasons, I could only manage to make a strong case for the one player that truly deserves the award and will likely win it with overwhelming support: Wil Myers.
The season Myers was able to put together is truly remarkable. While Myers didn't lead all AL rookies in every category, as Mike Trout did last year, — several other players this season beat out Myers in average and home runs — when you combine it all together, no one else has the stats for the award.
Batting .293 with 13 home runs and 53 RBI's in 88 games played, Myers is certainly off to a fast start to his Major League career. A start that should see him receiving the first major award of his career — the Rookie of the Year award.
In the running for National League Rookie of the Year it's a far different story than the American League portion.
Matt Adams, Evan Gattis, Jedd Gyorko, Yasiel Puig, Julio Teheran, Hyu-Jin Ryu, Shelby Miller and Jose Fernandez are all in the mix for NL Rookie of the Year, in my opinion, but in the end, only a few of them made my final cut. Those players being Shelby Miller, Yasiel Puig and Jose Fernandez. (It's somewhat difficult to compare two pitchers to a hitter, but I'll try my best with each case.)
Shelby Miller had a great first season, going 15-9 with a 3.06 ERA. Although he had a decent rookie year, with all of the great candidates for NL Rookie of the Year, Miller didn't quite do enough to receive the award. But while he won't win the R.O.Y, Miller is very likely to win a Cy Young or two at some point down the road in his career.
Yasiel Puig came up in early June and helped turn around an awful Dodgers team. But while Puig was a big reason for their successful second half of the season, he began to slow down towards the end of the year. Therefore, despite batting .319 with 19 homers and 42 RBI's this season, Puig will come up just short of winning the award, in my mind.
Jose Fernandez is the only person standing in the way of a relatively easy win for Yasiel Puig. Able to dominate for the Marlins this season, Fernandez posted a 12-6 record with a 2.19 ERA and opponent batting average of .182 — going 9-0 with a 1.19 ERA in home starts this year.
Fernandez isn't the unanimous pick to win the award by everyone around the baseball world, but his overall dominance at such a young age (21) is enough for me to make him my vote for the National League Rookie of the Year.
Recapping My 2013 MiLB & MLB Baseball Season
Now that the 2013 Minor League Baseball season is over, and with no shot at attending any more MLB games this year, I can finally post a blog entry recapping my season out at the ballpark.
I managed to make it to 16 baseball games this season. Two of those were major league games — one up in Baltimore and one in Seattle — with the remaining fourteen being minor league games. In those minor league games, I saw numerous top prospects, as well as future Hall of Famer, Chipper Jones, on August 20th, at his number retirement ceremony in Durham. It was a great season, full of fun, and I thought I'd take the time to recap it all:
April 5th – Carolina Mudcats Vs. Winston Salem Dash
I went into this game looking forward to seeing Indians' top prospect, Francisco Lindor, and White Sox' top prospect, Courtney Hawkins. Both are sure to be future MLB stars, and both are exciting players to keep an eye on. I didn't get an autograph from Lindor at this particular game, but I did receive the bat that Hawkins cracked during his second at-bat of the game, in which he got a bloop-single:
(The bat is signed, but the auto is around the other side. It was done very hastily.)
April 9th – Durham Bulls Vs. Gwinnett Braves
Having one of the best opening day Bulls lineups ever — including Wil Myers, Jake Odorizzi, Chris Archer, and Hak-Ju Lee — I was excited to attend this game. I didn't get Myers, but I ended up with an autograph from both Lee and Brandon Guyer….:
….as well as a game home run ball hit by the Braves' Ernesto Mejia:
(This was my first ever home run ball.)
April 24th – Durham Bulls Vs. Toledo Mud Hens
I was hoping to get an autograph from Wil Myers at this game, since I was unsuccessful the last time, but I failed, once again. I did, however, get an auto from Mike Fontenot….:
….as well as a game homer from Tigers' number one prospect, Nick Castellanos:
(Castellanos was a September call-up by the Tigers.)
May 9th – Durham Bulls Vs. Syracuse Chiefs
Not much to say about this game. Just that I finally got Wil Myers to sign for me; once on a program, and once on a card:
(Myers is a top candidate for 2013 American League Rookie of the Year.)
May 14th – Carolina Mudcats Vs. Salem Red Sox
I didn't have the chance to get an autograph from Indians' top prospects, Francisco Lindor and Tyler Naquin, as I was too busy getting autos from all the Red Sox' top prospects. Salem was loaded with great players when I saw them in May, and I ended up getting an auto from Garin Cecchini, Blake Swihart and Brandon Jacobs:
Then, after the game, I picked up a game used, unbroken bat from Deven Marrero:
(Great guy — actually took the time to sign nicely, unlike Hawkins.)
May 30th – Carolina Mudcats Vs. Wilmington Blue Rocks
I was able to get an autograph from Cheslor Cuthbert, however, due to a mistake on my part, I missed out on Royals' top prospect, Kyle Zimmer. Although, I did manage to finally get an autograph from Francisco Lindor and Tyler Naquin after the game — both are super-nice guys. I was happy to finally get those:
(Lindor would go on to take part in the 2013 Futures game, up in New York City.)
June 3rd – Durham Bulls Vs. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders
I was really hoping to get an autograph from Chien-Ming Wang, but I never saw him in the dugout before the game, so I figured he wasn't there. But after the game, I ended up running into him on my way out of the ballpark. Turns out, Wang had been in the stands, charting the game. So I was thankfully able to get him:
I also got a game home run ball hit by Ronnier Mustelier:
(Chasing down home run balls never gets old.)
June 15th – Durham Bulls Vs. Indianapolis Indians
With the great year he was having, I was looking to get an autograph from Vince Belnome, since I had finally gotten his card. Not only did I get Belnome, but I also got Jake Odorizzi; as well as Wil Myers, for the third time:
(Little did I know that this would be the last time I'd ever see Myers with the Bulls, as he was called up the next day.)
June 17th – Durham Bulls Vs. Louisville Bats
I had been planning on attending this game since before the season even started. The record holder for most stolen bases in a single season, with 155, Billy Hamilton, was set to be there, and I was looking to get his autograph. I was able to get it, as well as an auto from Reds' prospect Henry Rodriguez:
(Two things: Hamilton is now in the majors, and Rodriguez needs to work on his auto.)
June 25th – Carolina Mudcats Vs. Frederick Keys
I didn't think I'd be going to this game, but I got an offer from Orioles' prospect, Nick Delmonico, for free tickets, and I couldn't pass it up. I was able to thank him in person, as well as get him to sign a card, making it a great time:
(Delmonico is now part of the Brewers' organization.)
June 29th – Baltimore Orioles Vs. New York Yankees
Didn't get any autographs, but had a great time.
Check out my recap HERE.
July 26th – Seattle Mariners Vs. Minnesota Twins
As with the Baltimore game, nothing too exciting.
Check out my recap HERE.
August 20th – Durham Bulls Vs. Charlotte Knights
Third straight game without an auto, but Chipper Jones was there, so it was fun anyway.
Check out my recap HERE.
August 24th – Durham Bulls Vs. Norfolk Tides
This game turned out to be the most successful game of the season; as I got four out of the five guys I wanted an autograph from to sign for me. Those players include Orioles' top prospects, Kevin Gausman and Jonathan Schoop, as well as Alex Liddi and Eric Thames. All were extremely nice about it, and I was surprised with the number of autos I got:
(As with Rodriguez, some of these autographs need work.)
September 3rd – Durham Bulls Vs. Indianapolis Indians
As if this game wasn't exciting enough, being a playoff game, I was able to get autos from Pirates' number one and two prospects, Jameson Taillon and Gregory Polanco:
(Both are expected to do big things in the majors as soon as next season.)
September 10th – Durham Bulls Vs. Pawtucket Red Sox
Didn't get any autographs or home run balls — bad way to end the season.
But what a season it was.
I can't wait for next year; when the auto collecting, home run chasing, and prospect scouting can start all over again.

Story Lines Worth Watching In the Final Month
It's hard to believe but the 2013 MLB regular season is almost over. (Today marks exactly one month until the final games of the season, on September 29th.) Teams are making their final push for the post season, and every player is doing their best to finish out the season strong. With all of this going on, I thought I'd post an entry on the five main story lines I plan to keep an eye on throughout the final stretch.
American League Home Run Race
It's a two-man race, between the Orioles' Chris Davis and the Tigers' Miguel Cabrera, for who will receive the title of 2013 home run champion. But more importantly for Cabrera, he's not just chasing down Davis for that title alone; Cabrera is trying to do what no one in the history of the game has ever been able to do: Win back-to-back Triple Crowns.
Davis currently holds a four home run lead over Cabrera (who is day-to-day, after suffering an injury in Thursday's game) — Cabrera leads all of baseball in batting average and RBI's — and with a mere month left of the season, it's going to take a real display of power for Cabrera to overtake Davis. But if anyone can do it, Miguel Cabrera can.
Candidates for Rookie of the Year Award
The Rookie of the Year award is going to be a difficult award to decide, for both the American League and National League. Both leagues have several players that have strong cases, so it's going to be interesting to see which player will have a great final month to move themselves above the rest.
Currently, top candidates from the American League, for the R.O.Y. award, include Wil Myers, Chris Archer and David Lough, while the National League has quite a few more top candidates, in Yasiel Puig, Matt Adams, Nolan Arenado, Jedd Gyorko, Evan Gattis, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Jose Fernandez and Shelby Miller, among others. Making this a story line well worth watching.
National League Central Division
The National League Central is currently the closest of all the divisions in Major League Baseball. Less than four games separate the top three teams, being the Cardinals, Pirates and Reds. (This is the first season in 21 years that the Pirates will finish with a winning record.) With the Diamondback's slowly falling out of the race to catch up — though there's still a slight chance they could — it would appear to be between these three teams for who will win the division.
No matter which team is able to hold on in the final month of the season, to win the division, all three are likely to make the post season, with the extra Wild Card spot, that was added last season.
Max Scherzer's Cy Young Quest
Of all of the great pitchers in the American League none have been as dominant throughout the entire season as Max Scherzer. Having gone 19-1 — only the third pitcher to ever start a season winning 19 out of their first 20 decisions — with a 2.90 ERA, Scherzer is well on his way to winning the Cy Young award, if he can keep up the great performance.
Though I think Yu Darvish will get a lot of consideration for the award — rightfully so, currently sitting at 12-5, with a 2.68 ERA, leading all of baseball in strikeouts — the award is currently Scherzer's to lose, in the minds of many around the baseball world.
Houston Astros' Loss Record
With 30 games left to play, the Houston Astros hold a win-loss record of 44-88 — the worst record in all of baseball. They currently sit 33.5 games out of first place in their division, and look to have a losing record for the fifth straight season. Having lost 107 games in 2012, and 106 in 2011, it will be interesting to see if the Astros can finish with fewer than 100 losses this season.
They'll have to go 19-11, in their final 30 games, which isn't impossible, but with it being the Astros, it's not all that likely. It should be interesting to see if the Astros can at least finish out the year on a high note, after yet another disappointing season.
What're you looking forward to? Leave a comment below.
Frontrunners For MLB Awards At the All-Star Break
The final MLB games until after the All-Star break were played on Sunday, and although the baseball world is buzzing about Yoenis Cespedes winning the 2013 Home Run Derby, with it being half way through the season, I figured I'd post a blog entry not on the derby, but on the players who I feel stand the best chance, as of right now, to win the three major awards of Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year and Cy Young. All three awards have several players who could be argued are worthy, but I have my own opinion as to who deserves each award the most.
Most Valuable Player Award
American League: It's a two-man race for who deserves the MVP award for the American League. Both Chris Davis and Miguel Cabrera have already posted numbers that would be a great full year for many players, and there's still nearly three more months left until the end of the season. But I'm going to have to go with Chris Davis, as of right now. Davis has been one of the best players in all of baseball for the past year, and if he can keep up the pace, should be the AL MVP.
National League: It's a little more of a challenge to pick one player for who will inevitably win the National League MVP, assuming they keep on playing the way they have been. With guys like Yadier Molina, Michael Cuddyer and Buster Posey in the running, it's not a very obvious choice. I'm going to go with Michael Cuddyer, though. While Posey and Molina are having great years, Cuddyer is making a bigger individual impact on whether or not his team wins than anyone else in the NL.
Rookie of the Year Award
American League: This was the easiest of all of the categories, for me. There's no doubt in my mind that Wil Myers deserves the American League Rookie of the Year award. Altough I gave a bit of consideration to both Nick Franklin and David Lough, I just feel that Myers is going to have an even better second half to the season than any rookie in baseball. If he can play to his full potential, he should be able to blow away all of the other competition.
National League: It came down to Yasiel Puig, Matt Adams, Jedd Gyorko, Evan Gattis and Marcel Ozuna, for the player I felt most deserved the National League Rookie of the Year award, as of right now. All of them have been having fantastic seasons, and while they should continue to have great years, I had to go with Matt Adams. I still like Puig, and feel he will be a super star for years to come, but Adams deserves the award, in my opinion. The way he's been contributing is truly incredible.
Cy Young Award
American League: When you have to pick between Felix Hernandez, Bartolo Colon and Max Scherzer, for American League Cy Young, it's not an easy choice. All have been having great seasons, and you can make an argument for and against each player. But after going back and forth between them, I ended up going with Max Scherzer. While it would appear an easy decision, with Scherzer's record of 13-1, it wasn't. Eight AL pitchers have a better ERA, but when you combine everything, I still have Scherzer for the Cy Young.
National League: I had several different pitchers on my list of players deserving of the National League Cy Young award, including guys like Matt Harvey, Jeff Locke, Adam Wainwright, Patrick Corbin, Jordan Zimmermann and Madison Bumgarner, but I didn't go with any of them. I ended up going with Clayton Kershaw. While I'm a huge fan of Harvey, and could've easily picked him, Kershaw is having the overall better year, and that's why I have him winning the award.
But there's still plenty of time left in the season, and anything can happen.
With all of that said, this will be my last blog post for a good bit of time.
I'm going on a 24-day road trip around the country, starting Wednesday, and won't have the time to put in the effort necessary to keep up this blog. Though I hate breaking one of my original goals of blogging at least once every four days, it can't be helped; but I'm still on pace for my goal of 100 posts for the year. At least I'm incorporating baseball into the trip, among numerous other things, as I'll be attending the Mariners game in Seattle, on July 26th, versus the Twins. So that should be fun. (I haven't decided yet if I'll be blogging about the game.)
Therefore, this is all for awhile. I'll be back in a month.
Wil Myers to Make Major League Debut On Tuesday
The decision by the Royals to not call up Wil Myers towards the end of last season, in which he batted .314, with 37 home runs and 109 RBI's, left many people scratching their head. Then, after an offseason trade that sent Myers to the Rays, many expected Myers to get moved to the big league club fairly quickly, especially with the great spring training he had. But once again, it didn't happen. Myers was sent to Triple-A Durham, where he spent 65 games, before finally receiving the call that everyone has been waiting for.
After five seasons in the minor leagues, Wil Myers is going to the majors.
Pulled from Sunday's Durham Bulls game, after doubling in the first inning, Myers is set to make his major league debut on Tuesday, up at Fenway Park, against the Red Sox. Myers truly left the Rays no choice but to bring him up, as he began to heat up over the past couple of weeks. After a short slump, Myers has been a hitting machine as of late, quickly increasing what started out as subpar numbers, by his standards, up to 14 homers and 58 RBI's, this season at Triple-A. After the recent success, it will be interesting to see if Myers' hot streak will continue into the majors.
But Rays manager, Joe Maddon, isn't too concerned with Myers making a flawless transition, saying, "You're not going to hear a lot of the high expectations coming from this particular desk or this chair. I want him to play. I want him to be a Ray. I want him to run hard to first base. I want him to try to do the right things on the field, continue to work on his defense, try to improve his baserunning."
Many feel Myers will do all of that, and much more.
Myers is set to take over the right field position, wearing the number nine for the Rays, and is going to bat towards the bottom of the order, at least for now. As is to be expected when a player of Myers' caliber is promoted to the big leagues–arguably the most hyped hitting prospect to reach the majors since Bryce Harper–nearly everyone is making their predictions as to how they feel Myers will perform. Having seen him play in five games this season, I have a fairly bold opinion as to how he will fare.
I may be placing the bar a bit too high for Myers, but I could easily see him hitting a home run in his first major league game. After all, the green monster at Fenway is nothing new to him, as the Bulls have a blue monster, and therefore, Myers is used to the challenge that comes along with the towering left field wall. But wall or no wall, there's really no ballpark that can contain Myers' power. The rare combination of the ability to hit for power AND average, as well as the skill to take the ball to all parts of the field, make Myers a very special player.
Wil Myers should become a major impact player for the Rays for many years to come.
4/24/13 Durham Bulls Vs. Toledo Mud Hens
I hadn't been planning on attending this game–under normal circumstances I probably wouldn't have–but I was trying to accomplish what I was unable to do the last time I was at the ballpark: Get an autograph from Rays' number one prospect, Wil Myers. That was my main reason for being there, on what turned out to be a fantastic day for a ballgame: I figured with it being a day game there wouldn't be as many people at the ballpark, making it easier to get autographs. I was partially right, as while there was a decent amount of people at the game, there were fewer than usual autograph seekers. But in the end, fewer people didn't do much good, as just like the first Bulls game I had attended, a couple weeks ago, Wil Myers didn't sign for me. It was very frustrating.
But I didn't let it bring me down, as the game itself was far more exciting. With there being fewer fans than usual, you could basically sit wherever you wanted, and I ended up sitting in the fourth or fifth row to start the game. The close proximity to the field made the game all that more enjoyable. (Not that I don't always have a great time at the ballpark.)
Bulls' starting pitcher for the game, Jake Odorizzi….: ….didn't do as well as I had expected him to (though he would get the win) giving up a solo-shot to the third batter of the game, Nick Castellanos, who would go 3-3 for the game.
The home run was a very big deal for me because (for those of you who don't know) Castellanos is the Tigers' number one prospect, and baseball's 21st overall prospect. My heart literally skipped a beat when he crushed the ball out onto the center field grass and I was still seated in the infield. I looked on for a few minutes, fully expecting someone to run out there and grab it, but to my surprise, no one did. A few people went over to have a look, but no one grabbed it. I couldn't stand to just sit there, so I decided to see if I could make it over in time to get the home run ball.
Now, something you have to realize, at the Durham Bulls ballpark, it's not a mere walk to the outfield. There's a big flight of stairs you have to climb before you can make the trek over. During that climb, I had my eye off of the center field grass for nearly half a minute, and I was worried that during that short period of time, someone had gone out to get the ball. But thankfully, when I finally made it to the outfield, in what must've been record time, I saw a little white speck over in the grass. I patiently waited for three outs to be recorded before I jumped the short fence, and trotted over to grab the ball: This was Nick Castellanos' second home run of the season, and just the 19th of his career.
After grabbing the ball, I decided to stay seated in the outfield for a few more innings, just in case anyone blasted a home run onto the grass, but looking back, that was a dumb decision. I ended up getting sunburnt, and as I sit here typing this, my arms tingle with every keystroke. (Perhaps not wearing sunscreen was the dumb decision?)
Anyway, when it became apparent that no one was going to hit a home run in my direction, and that my arms were turning red, I gave up my outfield view, for my original seat, where I had begun the game: I know it doesn't appear to be, but the seat I was in had just fallen into the shade. It felt good to not have my skin roasting anymore.
Since I had been in the outfield for the majority of the game up until this point, I had missed Wil Myers' first two at-bats. Therefore, I ended up taking roughly 30 pictures of Myers (I won't share them all, don't worry) beginning with his third at-bat of the game….: ….and continuing with him above the dugout….: ….in the on-deck circle….: ….and ending with him on first base, after singling in his final at-bat: I went a little Myer's-crazy. I know. I admit it. But hey, it's Wil Myers.
The Bulls would go on to win the game, 9-8, despite an attempted comeback from the Mud Hens, who scored four runs in the top of the eight inning. I failed, yet again, in getting Myers to sign for me after the game, but I was able to get Mike Fontenot to autograph a card for me. So it wasn't a total loss for the day, autograph-wise.
It remains a top priority for me to get an auto from Wil Myers, and although I won't be able to attend tonight or tomorrow night's game, if he's still with the Bulls when they return home from an 8-game road trip, on May 6th, I plan on going back. It's certainly a challenge to get an autograph from Wil Myers, but I generally enjoy challenges, and refuse to give up.
Top MiLB Prospects Ready To Make MLB Impact
There are numerous top prospects set to make an impact in the major leagues this season, as I wrote about a few months ago, but for this particular post, I'm only focusing on the players who are ready right now to get a callup to the big leauges; but are yet to, for one reason or another. Keep in mind, as you're reading through my list, the players (in no particular order) I've included are yet to play a single game in the majors:
The first player I feel is major league ready is Wil Myers. I've done a few blog posts on him in the past, about how I felt Myers has been ready for awhile, and I really don't see the point of leaving him down in the minors. Batting .304, with a homer and 12 RBI's, so far this season, Myers is one of those players who I could see thriving at the next level. The Rays need to give him a shot, in my opinion.
Bruce Rondon is off to another great start, so far this season. Through seven innings pitched, Rondon hasn't allowed any runs, while limiting the offense to a .179 batting average. Having been clocked at over 100 miles per hour in the past, combined with the closer role for the Tigers still a weak point, I'd say it's time for Rondon to be called up, and just see how he performs.
A guy who's not on everyone's radar, but has the ability to make a big impact in the major leagues is Donnie Joseph. Limiting the opposing batters to a .125 average, including a 1.35 ERA and 12 strikeouts, through 6.2 innings pitched, so far this season, Joseph is ready, in my mind, to show off his stellar stuff in the majors, with the Kansas City Royals.
Though I'm not quite jumping onboard with the thoughts of others that Mark Montgomery will be the next Mariano Rivera for the Yankees, I do agree with many of them, that Montgomery is going to be a star at the major league level. Though he's still young, at age 22, having only pitched in just over 100 innings, his career 1.61 ERA goes to show just how good Montgomery really is, and in my mind, how ready he is.
Mike Zunino is the last player on my list of players ready for the major leagues, but as the saying goes, he's certainly not least. If anything, Zunino is near the top of the list, having hit 5 home runs and batted in 21, in just 13 games so far this season. These stats fall in line with his 13 homers and 43 RBI's in just 44 games last season, and lead me to believe that he's ready to face big league pitching.
Some honorable mentions, of player who are getting close to being major league ready, but aren't quite, include: Bryce Brentz, Kyle Gibson, George Springer, Sonny Gray, Nick Franklin, Jarred Cosart, Michael Choice, Christian Bethancourt, Zack Wheeler, Wilmer Flores, Danny Hultzen and Nolan Arenado.
All are showing tons of major league potential, and the majority of those players should see time in the major leagues at some point in the second half of this season. The remaining few will get their first glimpse of the majors in the early part of 2014.
4/9/13 Bulls Vs. Braves–My First Ever Home Run Snag
When it was made official a few weeks ago that Rays' top prospect, and number four overall prospect in all of baseball, Wil Myers, was going to start the season in Triple-A Durham, I knew I'd be attending one of the first home games of the season. Though I would rather have gone to Opening Day, it wasn't possible, so the next game would have to do.
My main goal for this game was (obviously) to get an autograph from phenom, Wil Myers. I had seen on the Durham Bulls' twitter page that Myers had signed autographs the night before, so I was keeping a positive mindset, hoping he would sign, once again. But it wasn't meant to be, as although I was the first person to arrive down by the dugout, before the game, when Myers came up from the clubhouse, he didn't even look over in my direction. He ended up signing for a few people down the line, but I wasn't able to get him to come over.
This day would turn out to be a horrible one, if you're a person like myself who loves collecting autographs. The only player on the entire Bulls team, of the players I wanted autos from, that signed for nearly everyone, was Rays' number five prospect, Hak-Ju Lee. Lee was extremely nice about it, and I was happy to get his autograph, even if it was the only one I got before the game.
After failing to get any more autographs, I made the trek up to my ticketed seat:
Wil Myers, who was serving as the Bulls' designated hitter for the night, was chilling at the top of the dugout for most of the game:
As for the game itself, it was one of the most entertaining games I've ever seen in person. After Bulls' starting pitcher, Alex Torres, struck out the side, in the top of the first, the Bulls proceeded to go on a tear, causing Gwinnett's starting pitcher, Daniel Rodriguez, to be pulled from the game after only a third of an inning pitched, in which he allowed eight runs:
The Bulls would end up plating two more, for a grand total of TEN runs in the bottom of the first. Five of those runs came from the bat of Brandon Guyer, who blasted two home runs–a two run, and a three run–in the first inning. (The first International League player to do so since 2005.)
Seeing that the ball was flying out of the ballpark, on this particular night, and with the outfield seats being so empty….:
….I decided, as I've done in the past, to move to the outfield seats, after the conclusion of the first inning.
It was during my walk to the outfield that one of the most unusual things to ever happen to me at a baseball game occurred.
As I was making my way through the concourse, a guy, who I had seen earlier taking photos with an old-fashion-looking camera, stopped me and asked if I had been getting autographs down by the dugout before the game. I told him yes, and he went on to tell me that he was a photographer from Minnesota that had been hired (or picked?) by the Bulls (I think?) to take photographs of people at the ballpark for an art gallery (or museum?), and wanted to know if I'd be willing to be photographed. As you can tell, I didn't fully understand it all, but I agreed to it, nonetheless.
We both made our way out to where his camera was, which happened to be where I was headed anyway. It probably took 10 minutes for him to get the photo he was looking for, but I had nothing else to do, and was happy to do it. Here's a picture of the camera….:
….with him and his friend standing just below it, looking at the field. So if you happen to see me on a wall somewhere, now you know why; let me know if you do.
Moving back to the game, and to the reason I moved to the outfield, with there still being five innings left in the game after I finished having my picture taken, I was optimistic that someone (I didn't care who) would hit a home run in my direction. The seats continued to empty more and more as the game went on, and I was getting more and more anxious.
When it got to be the sixth inning, and no balls had even come close to me, I began to feel it was unlikely that a home run would be hit my way, but just as the thought crossed my mind, Gwinnetts' Ernesto Mejia blasted a moon shot (the 114th HR of his MiLB career), which barely cleared the center field wall. I wanted to just run out there and get it, but I recalled the Triple-A National Championship game, when a guy ran out onto the grass after a home run ball, and the umpires stopped the game. I didn't want to be "THAT guy".
So I waited patiently, hoping no one would make a run for it. A few people came over and had a glance, but they didn't try to retrieve it, which made it extremely easy for me to jump the short fence and run over to grab it as soon as three outs had been recorded.
Here's the ball:
This was the first home run ball I had ever gotten, and with the rush I got from running over and picking it up, I highly doubt it will be my last.
I stayed in the outfield for one more of Wil Myers' at-bats, but after he failed to hit a home run, I made my way back to where I had begun the game.
The Braves would make things interesting, scoring two runs in the seventh and three in the eighth, to make it a 12-8 ball game, but that would end up being the final score. As soon as the final out had been recorded, I quickly headed down to the dugout, with a dozen others, to try for an autograph from Myers, but once again, he didn't even look up.
I did succeed in getting an autograph from the star of the game, Brandon Guyer, afterwards, and he was extremely nice about it. He seems like a really great guy in general, as before the game he went out of his way to ask how everyone was doing, when he came up from the clubhouse. It's guys like that, that you want to see do well, and I wish him the best moving forward.
I'm not sure when my next MiLB game will be, or whether it will be a Mudcats or Bulls game, but if it's half as great as this one was, it's sure to be a fun time.
My First Two MiLB Games of the 2013 Season
Opening Day for Major League Baseball took place on Monday, however, Opening Day for the Carolina Mudcats (A+ affiliates of the Indians), of the Carolina League, is taking place later tonight. For the second season in a row, I'm attending tonight's game, once again versus the Winston Salem Dash (A+ affiliates of the White Sox), and I'm extremely excited. This year's Opening Day game is packed with top notch talent.
For the Carolina Mudcats, while their pitching staff isn't too fantastic, their position players include the organization's number one prospect, Francisco Lindor, 2012 1st round draft pick, Tyler Naquin, along with top prospect, Tony Wolters, who is making the transition this season from short stop to catcher. Wolters played with the Mudcats last season, and I really enjoyed watching him play. I'm looking forward to seeing how the move to behind the plate plays out.
As far as the Dash go, the highlight of the team is undoubtedly Courtney Hawkins, who was drafted 13th overall in last year's draft; doing a backflip afterwards. Though Hawkins won't be doing any backflips (as far as I know), I'm looking forward to seeing the White Sox' number one prospect in action–maybe he'll even blast a home run. If nothing else, I'm certainly going to try for his autograph, as I'm also planning to do from the Mudcats' Francisco Lindor and Tyler Naquin.
But when it comes to autograph collecting, no other game throughout the entire rest of the season will have more highly ranked prospects than the April 9th Durham Bulls game I'm planning to attend. Having been traded from the Royals' organization to the Rays, in the 2012 offseason, the number four prospect in all of baseball, Wil Myers, will be there and is sure to draw a huge crowd, so autographs may be hard to come by. I'll just have wait and see how it goes.
A few other Bulls' players worth mentioning, that I'm hoping to get autographs from on Tuesday night, include Jake Odorizzi, Chris Archer and Hak-Ju Lee, who are the Rays' third, fourth and fifth ranked prospects, respectively. In all, the Bulls are beginning the season with 7 of the top 20 prospects in the organization. I can't think of a team in all of minor league baseball with more talent, which is why I'm going to be blogging about the game. It will likely be posted on Wednesday afternoon.
So that's the basic plan for my first two minor league games of the year. I'm not sure when, or where, the rest of the year will have me going to games; the only game set in stone is the June 3rd Bulls day game, when they take on the Red Barons (Yankees affiliate). But one of the games during the series when Billy Hamilton comes to Durham with Louisville is almost a sure bet, as well. Other than that, I don't know.
Top 10 Story Lines I'm Planning to Watch In 2013
We're just over 48 hours away from the start of the 2013 MLB regular season, and I couldn't be more excited. Baseball fans everywhere are making final predictions as to how they feel things will play out, as players are making their final preparations for the long 162 game season. As my last blog post until the season begins, I wanted to do a brief overview of the top story lines I'm planning to keep an eye on in 2013. They may differ slightly from yours, but I feel I covered nearly all of the major topics:
1. How the Astros will fare in the American League:
Having lost 107 games in the National League in 2012, I'm watching the Astros, not for how good they'll do, but for how bad they'll do. Sorry to any Astros fans reading this post, but there's no denying that the odds are against the Astros going into the 2013 season. Playing in one of the toughest divisions in baseball, with the newly revamped Angels, they're likely to have just as bad of a season as last year, if not slightly worse. I'd say it would be considered a good year for the Astros if they finish with less than 100 losses.
2. If Bryce Harper and Mike Trout can keep up their 2012 R.O.Y. seasons:
Posting some incredible stats, leading to one of the best rookie seasons in MLB history, I'm going to keep a closer eye on Mike Trout than I am Bryce Harper, but I'm planning to watch Harper nonetheless. Both won the Rookie of the Year award in 2012, for their respective leagues, and it should be interesting to see if their amazing rookie years will transfer into the 2013 season. I'm predicting Trout will once again have a 30/30 season, with Harper possibly recording the first 30 home run season of his career.
3. Who will hit the most home runs in 2013:
The 2012 home run leaders consisted of Miguel Cabrera, Curtis Granderson and Josh Hamilton, as the 1-2-3 guys, and if it wasn't for an injured Granderson, I could see all three being near the top of the rankings again in 2013. However, with Granderson out with an injury for the first portion of the year–while I see Cabrera once again leading all players in homers, with Hamilton coming in a close second–it will likely be a new face who will round out the top three. Maybe it'll be a guy like Adam Dunn, who's a free-swinger? Or maybe a guy no one saw coming, who will have a breakout season? It will certainly be fun to keep track of.
4. If A-Rod comes back healthy, if at all:
While it's 100 percent certain that Alex Rodriguez won't return to the Yankees' lineup until late July, there is the slight chance that he could miss the entire season. However, if A-Rod is able to work his way back this season, after having hip surgery in January, it should be very interesting to see if he can become a decent player once again. While Rodriguez will never be the great player he once was, if healthy, he has the ability to make an impact for the Yankees. Although I'm not the biggest fan of A-Rod, I still hope he comes back healthy. But I find it very unlikely that he will ever again play at a competitive level.
5. How the rookies, such as Wil Myers, will impact their teams in 2013:
I discussed this a couple months ago, in my blog post on the Top 100 prospects going into the 2013 season, but this time around I'm only focusing my attention on a handful of rookies who I feel will have the biggest impact for their team this season. Wil Myers is the number one guy on my radar, with Shelby Miller, Jurickson Profar and Billy Hamilton being the other three main rookies I plan on keeping track of. Myers was the minor league player of the year, in 2012, and I fully see him posting more of the same stats, as he begins the the year with AAA Durham. Of the four, Miller is the only player that is starting in the majors to begin the year, but they should all make it to the big leagues at some point this season, and are sure to each play a key role in their teams' success.
6. How the Upton bro's do for the Atlanta Braves:
You could argue that, with the addition of both Justin Upton and B.J. Upton to roam the outfield with Jason Heyward, the Braves have the best all-around outfield in all of baseball. All three players have great range, giving them the ability to make plays on balls that other outfielders couldn't get to, but furthermore, they all have the talent to impact their team offensively as well. Both Upton's, as well as Heyward, have the ability to blast 25+ home runs and 85+ RBI's, as well as steal a good amount of bases. If they can perform to their potential this season, combined with the great lineup and pitching rotation they already had, the Braves could be an outstanding team.
7. What kind of a year players who ended 2012 injured will have in 2013:
The reason A-Rod had his own category, and wasn't included in this one, is merely because his return is uncertain. All of the players in this category didn't play at all after their injury in 2012, and will make a guaranteed comeback, within at least the first few weeks of the season. With that said, the most impactful players to end last season with an injury, that I'll be watching in 2013, include Derek Jeter, Troy Tulowitzki and Mariano Rivera.
Mariano Rivera tore his ACL in May, while Derek Jeter fractured his ankle in October, with neither playing any more games for the remainder of the year. Rivera is expected to be ready to go Opening Day, though a slight setback for Jeter will force him onto the disable list to begin the year. In my opinion, the 2013 performances of both Jeter and Rivera will be the deciding factor for what kind of season the Yankees have. If Jeter can return quickly, and Rivera can post his usual stellar numbers, I see the Yankees being just fine.
Troy Tulowitzki injured his groin in May of last season, and although it appeared he would return towards the end of the year, he remained sidelined for the remainder of the season. A healthy Tulowitzki can impact the Rockies more than nearly any other player in all of baseball, though he hasn't been able to stay healthy for the majority of his career. While I can't see the Rockies finishing any better than last in their division, I'm planning to watch "Tulo" nonetheless, to see if he can finally have a successful, fully healthy season.
8. How the Blue Jays, Dodgers and Angels perform with their new additions:
The Blue Jays, Dodgers and Angels made the biggest splashes of nearly every other team in all of baseball this past offseason; at least of the teams that stand a chance of competing. Many have the Blue Jays going the distance, and winning it all, with the key additions of Jose Reyes, Melky Cabrera and 2012 Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey, to name a few, though I don't see it happening. I find myself siding more with the opinions of those who are betting on the Dodgers and Angels to have a great season.
The Angels' major addition of the offseason was undoubtedly Josh Hamilton, who, with the help of Mike Trout and Albert Pujols, has the ability to transform the Angels into an extremely competitive team. Hamilton might end up being the piece the Angels were missing last season, that will help them make the playoffs in 2013.
The number one addition of the offseason for the Dodgers was Zack Greinke, though they also acquired Hyun-Jin Ryu, the highly praised LHP from Korea. Adding them both, to go along with their already deep pitching rotation, could end up making the Dodgers a team to be reckoned with in 2013.
9. Whether or not the Nationals make it to the World Series:
Last season, Nationals' manager, Davey Johnson, made the bold statement that he should be fired if the Nat's didn't make the playoffs in 2012. Luckily for Johnson, they did, for the first time since 1933. This season, however, it's "World Series or bust" for the Nationals, and although I was a bit skeptical last year, I'm not putting it past them to make it all the way to the World Series this season, for what would be the first time in Nationals' franchise history. With a fantastic lineup, as well as one of the best starting rotations in all of baseball, they should go far in the coming season, though they'll have to make it past the favorited Braves, who many (myself included) have winning the division.
10. Which team(s) will have an unexpected breakout season:
Every season, it seems, there is a team or two that unexpectedly takes the baseball world by storm. On paper, they shouldn't be winning, but yet they come together as a team and are able to do amazing things. The 2012 example would be the Oakland Athletics and the Baltimore Orioles, as the majority of baseball fans, going into the 2012 season, didn't see the O's and A's exploding the way they did. Truly showing that baseball is extremely unpredictable. Any team has the chance to defy the odds, which is part of what makes baseball so great. Anything can happen.

California prides itself on setting trends for the nation. This week, it may be the state that bucks the trend if it decides to abstain from a multi-state and federal settlement with the big banks on mortgage abuses.
States must say by the end of this week whether they are in or out of the deal and California is very much in doubt. Attorney General Kamala Harris, a rising star in the Democratic Party, is concerned the banks may get off too easily. Just last week, her people were calling the settlement "inadequate."
But can she afford to walk away from more than $10 billion that homeowners could collect in her state, where the housing crisis has ravaged communities from Stockton to San Diego? And would she be able to get more for them if she went it alone?
It's hard to say. But the other states are working hard to convince California to come along. And the Obama administration, in need of a victory on the housing front in this election year, wants that large, trend-setting state on the Left Coast to join. A deal for the nation isn't so good (or national for that matter) without California.
Here are our top stories from Washington…
States to decide this week on mortgage deal
State and federal officials are close to a settlement with the largest banks over mortgage abuses, with states facing an end-of-the-week deadline to decide whether they will sign on, people close to the talks said. The final value of any settlement will depend on which states it includes, and could drop sharply if states like California, one of the hardest hit by the foreclosure crisis, do not join.

An elegant wine from Ribera del Duero. Made by gravity, it exhibits purity and balance. This is a low production wine: only 3,000 cases are made for the world. Juan Carlos Vizcarra is one of the pioneers of "garage winemaking" in Ribera. All grapes are organically grown.
Pork and lamb, especially grilled or roasted, are ideal pairings for this wine, but beef, from steaks and roasts to more casual burgers, also works very well. If you like spices, this wine has the "stuffing" to stand up to Cajun or Midwestern BBQ and pulled pork, and it will go well with Greek gyros, Cuban ropa vieja and dishes with Mediterranean spices.
"The2009 Roble was aged for 7 months in seasoned French and American oak. Purple-colored, it gives up a first-class perfume of mineral, Asian spices, violets, and lightly roasted black fruits. This is followed by a succulent, full-flavored, voluminous wine with excellent balance and a long, fruit-filled finish. It is an outstanding value that over-delivers in a big way as well as a sneak preview of just how good the top wines from Ribera del Duero will be when released 2-3 years from now.

Chuck Norris Warns of "Thousand Years of Darkness" if Obama Reelectedby Free Britney at . Comments
Chuck Norris stars in a new ad urging citizens to unite and vote against President Obama and prevent a Doomsday scenario that would inevitably follow his reelection.
"If we look to history, our great country and freedom are under attack," the 72-year-old Expendables 2 star says in his dire appeal to Republican voters.
"We're at a tipping point and, quite possibly, our country as we know it may be lost forever if we don't change the course in which our country is headed."
With his wife by his side, he says, "I know you love your family and your freedom as much as Gena and I do, and it is because of that we can no longer sit quietly or stand on the sidelines and watch our country go the way of socialism or something worse."
Norris then borrows a quote from President Ronald Reagan in saying that if freedom isn't protected, we take "the first step into a thousand years of darkness."
Reelecting Barack Obama would represent that step, he believes.
Interestingly, Norris does not mention Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney once. He famously endorsed Mike Huckabee in 2008. See below ...
Is President Obama a socialist?
Presidential Election 2012:
I am openly gay but the gay community is one of SEVERAL things that I believe in. I am NOT out of touch with anything. And, to answer one of your questions...no...I do not own my own business. One last thing: DO NOT put words in my mouth!!!!! It really pisses me off. Take care.
One too many kicks to the head there Chuck?
I just wanna know from Chuck's new(est) wife how she got those white hoods in the background so white!
I won't attempt to have an answer but for some- gay rights is more important than the state of the economy and the thought of having a good future and job and I cannot imagine why.
@jaybird: Are you serious? Let me ask you a few questions...Are you employed or under employed? Do you drive? If so, you like going to the gas pump? Do you have health ins? If not, are willing to pay $2000 extra in taxes if you elect not to buy health ins? Do you have a business? If so, do you like it when your president says "you didn't build that, the gov't did"? Answer those questions and tell me you think being out of touch w/the gay community is more important than your job/career/living, health, or your ability to build something you believe in. Bottom line...you are the one that is out of touch with what is important here. Wake up jackass!
Hey guys....when Chuck Norris speaks...you listen!! Seriously though @dude is correct. It doesn't matter who wins this election because both Primary candidates are bought and paid for by the owners of this country (not the people). Presidents do have the ultimate powers of executive order however, so they can have a large influence on what goes on. Congress does need TERM LIMITATIONS to ward off bribery and corruption. The corporate owners of this country would be hard pressed to buy off all the candidates in constant re-election. I will be writing in Ron Paul when I get to the ballot. You want to change the country? Stop conforming to the conventional programming that you have to vote for whoever makes it past the primaries. Remember, we are screwed either way....challenge the system....write in your own candidate. The candidate that doesn't make it past the primaries is probably the right man for the job.
when chuck norris speaks of dark days that how all of his ex-wives felt.pres obama 2012
Obama will continue to do nothing if re-elected. Romney will take away rights and turn us into involuntary religious freaks. But more importantly, neither voting for Obama or Romney matters. Whoever takes office does not matter. Nothing will be done for the good of our economy. Hardly anything will change. And besides the president is not 'the man.' Congress and 'the Elite' will decide America's path. Whoever becomes president: they're just a celebrity. A face. A big reality show for everyone to watch. They say words, we cheer or jeer, nothing changes.
Although, there could be a change if we the people realize that we're the ones actually in control. And if we could ever just work up the courage to stand for what we believe and know is right then we may not ever have to have these dicussions online anymore. We can take the power back. It has always been ours from the beginning.
Chuck, it looks dark to you, because your head is jammed up your ass!!!!
If Bruce Lee had not died so young this goof would still be referred to as that chia pet looking clown that got his arse handed to him in a Bruce Lee movie.
LMAO. Chuck has officially lost his mind. What an idiot.

High court provides relief to Modi, setback for ED
The Bombay High Court Friday directed the Enforcement Directorate to provide documents to sacked IPL chief Lalit Modi based on which the central agency had issued him show cause notices in July 2011 and March 2013 for alleged foreign exchange violations in the Indian Premier League held in South Africa in 2009.
The bench, comprising Justice S.J. Vazifdar and Justice B.P. Colabawalla, said its order came on two counts -- the violation of principles of natural justice whereby much of the documents relied upon by the agency were not supplied and that the opinion rendered was wholly unreasoned, a statement released on behalf of Modi said.
The court has given an option to the ED to issue a fresh show cause notice.
The statement cited the court order as having said that either the ED should choose not to rely on the said documents which it has consistently failed to supply despite repeated demands -- in which case, it should choose to exclude those documents from consideration all together.
On the other hand, if it chooses to rely upon the said documents, then the agency should supply all the documents and give a fresh opportunity to the defendant to reply and then form a reasoned opinion, the statement said.
The bench on request of Additional Solicitor General Kevic Setalvad, appearing for the ED, stayed the order for four weeks following an assurance that the ED will not proceed against Modi in the meantime.
Modi's counsel Mehmood Abdi added that the ED issued the show cause notice but did not supply documents that were relied upon.
"Mr. Lalit Modi sought those documents but, on one pretext or other, the ED denied access to those documents though clearly as per adjudication rules these should have been supplied.
"Our stand has been vindicated by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court. This shows that it was not Mr. Modi who has not been cooperating with the ED as has been sought to be made out, but on the contrary, it's the other way around," Abdi concluded.

Song Man Lyrics - Harry Chapin
Leon wrote a song for his special girl
and Elton and Bernie did too!
But you've been mine for such a long time
baby it's my turn to write one for you
and this is the best that this poor boy can do.
You see I don't know what to tell you babe
I can't say thanks a lot.
For I know I really owe you
for almost everything I've got.
You were with me in the good times
and when things were going bad
you were with me when your love
was the only thing I had.
Yes I have been a song man
for a long long time.
Coming up with some melodies
sponsored linkstrying to find some words that rhyme.
And while I have been singing
you've been there to see me through
and so I think it's long past time
I wrote this song for you.
You know I wanted to keep it simple
and not make it too long,
but I had hoped to make it beautiful
for after all it is your song.
Yes you know how I love my music
it is my life and livelihood,
but of all that's happened to me babe
you are everything that's good.
And I have been a song man
for such a long long time.
Coming up with melodies
trying to find some words that rhyme.
While I have been singing
you've been there to see me through.
So I think it's long past time
I wrote this song for you.

Foster To Adopt Program -- Monday December 16th, 2013
LnF Dog Rescue introduces "Foster to Adopt Program" Do you love the song "Bridge Over Troubled Waters?" Does it bring up memories of when you were the *bridge* for someone who needed you -- or someone was your "bridge?" If so, you could save a life right now by being a "bridge" for a rescued dog or cat. If you adopt from a shelter/rescue, that creates space for them to save another life. Millions of animals are still dying every day for lack of a foster home or their own home, but with your help - we could change those statistics. We're offering a new program to potential adopters where they can foster one of our rescued dogs to see if it's a perfect match before adopting. Our normal adoption requirements would need to be met or exceeded (they are listed on a link left side of our website) & since we are a very experienced rescue group, we'll help make sure to make a good match based on your lifestyle. Sometimes people pick a dog that just isn't right for them, but we can offer alternative dogs that would fit right with your family & home. We'll allow the family to *foster* for exactly three (3) weeks. Since we all foster, we know you can't even judge a dog's true potential until after two (2) weeks. If at the end of the (3) weeks you decide this is the perfect dog for you – you'll can legally adopt at that time. If you find it wasn't the match you'd hoped, the dog must be returned to LnF immediately. If you'd like we'll consider trying another dog --- but that will be on a case by case basis. To see all our available adoptable dogs & read our adoption requirements go to our website - http://www.lnfdogs.org If qualified you may apply online.
