"Salt and Pepper" Get The Job Done For Myrtle Beach
Nice little article by Baseball America about Jason Heyward and Freddie Freeman, with a little about Cody Johnson thrown in for good measure. How can you not be excited about the Braves' future?

If by "future"
You mean two weeks, then I’m immensely excited. Beach trip.

What games are you going to?
I might ride up there for a game…
Guy #1: Damn, these oysters are going to make us horny as hell...
Girl #2: Oh yeah, I forgot oysters are hermaphrodites.

Just the 11th. And then I fly out the next day for the weekend of debauchery.

Johnson has 16 home runs in only 155 at-bats, while no one else in the league has even cracked double-digits yet.
That is kind of ridiculous…

Heres another article about Heyward
He comes off as a really good, down to earth kid…if only our current right fielder acted the same way

Funny story – the people I was sitting near at Rome were telling me all sorts of horror stories about how kind of smug and arrogant Salt, Pepper, and Johnson were during their tenure in Low-A. The worst being Cody Johnson who more than once made disparaging comments a little too loudly, and once to a child.

I’m sure they all had their moments, but, they were also all only 19. I know I did some dumb crap when I was 19 (and 20, 21, 22…etc.). Plus, from what some of the players have told me, the fans get a little nuts there in Rome, particularly with the autographs. Apparently there are a few folks who will pretty much get the players to sign a ton of the same stuff every night. It doesn’t excuse not acting right, but stuff like that will wear on people.

Yeah, I don’t take anything to heart from what I hear in the stands, and I thought about the whole age thing too, but it does admittedly stop and make one think who’s really being honest, and so forth. I’ll stick with my own happy medium that Heyward’s an alright guy, and he’ll gladly sign a baseball if I present it to him when I’m at the Beach and keep to that optimism.

Yes, he probably will sign your ball. And Freddie and Cody will sign anything you hand them. Make sure you go down and talk to some of the guys, they’re all pretty awesome. Matt Kennelly is a riot.

I wonder if he’ll get suspicious if I try to get two. I figure a Heyward ball would make a great bounty for a contest to hold or something.

I’d just ask him for two. You could always just say it’s for a friend. He’ll either do it or he won’t, that’s how I look at it. He’s a pretty good dude, so I don’t really see it being a problem.

Yeah I was a bit surprised at how much stuff some of the autograph seekers there were getting guys to sign. I’d never really seen anything like that.

You’d be amazed how much some guys will sign. I think the most I’ve ever gotten from a guy at one time is like 25 cards or so; I know I did that with Esteban Loaiza last year. But, at least those were all different card; the guy I get graphs with is sometimes a little nuts. I’ve seen him get a guy to sign 50 of the same card. He’s actually ruined a few guys, like the Indians’ David Huff. He got him to sign like 150 of his Bowman card a few years ago in ST and now he pretty much never signs anything.
I try not to ruin a guy, but if a dude will sign a bunch and I’ve got a bunch, I’m down, so long as it’s all different. For instance, last ST Heyward signed about 11 different cards for me and this year, when I didn’t have any new stuff for him, I got about 7 different for a friend. So yeah, Heyward’s pretty cool.

Cursing is a natural part of sports
Especially in a game of constant failure…

They were all perfectly nice to me. Although, I could see how they could be interpreted that way because they never signed stuff on the field (at least when I was there).

I like Ben Balder. I already enjoyed his stuff, then I met him at a Mudcats game and he was super nice and incredibly knowledgeable.

Nice read...I always wondered why he was available at #14..
“Scouts tell stories of how they went in to see Heyward multiple times, only to come away without seeing him swing in a game. How can a team invest millions in a high school player when no one gets to see him hit?”

I prefer Thunder and Lightning.
If Dunn walks 30 fewer times, he'll drive in 15 more runs. This is thanks to the scientifically proven formula: RBI = (this is nonsense) (I made it all up).
Here's a stat: Wins as manager: Dusty Baker, 1,162; Bill James, 0.

It reminds me of that dumb band and doesn’t sound like a dynamic sports duo. How about Shock and Awe?

Also at Myrtle Beach
Future closer Cory Gearrin.
16 Ks, 1 BB, .190 opp AVG= .64 WHIP. 1 HR allowed.
He’s a 23 year old former college closer-I’m not sure why he hasn’t been promoted yet.
by Bronn on May 27, 2009 5:34 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Because he's never pitched like this before.
by MichaelProcton on May 28, 2009 12:44 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Actually, he’s always pitched very well. I’d guess the reason he hasn’t been promoted is that he just missed a month with a shoulder injury.

I did now. Amusing stuff. As primitive as Wrigley can be, they have a fountain dispenser in the dugout. Schwanky.

“Zambrano left the field and threw his glove at the dugout fence before taking a bat and lopping the top off the Gatorade dispenser, which had just been repaired on Tuesday after Ryan Dempster punched it on Monday.
Pitching coach Larry Rothschild tried to get Zambrano into the clubhouse, but Zambrano kept hitting it with his bat."
Damn the cubs are crazy. Milton Bradley with his “umps hate me” stuff, Zambrano, Dempster…. haha
