Preseason Baseball @ 03:51 pm

Current Mood: excited excited
Current Music: ESPN

There is nothing like watching season exhibition baseball games to get excited about spring arriving soon as well as the coming of the regular baseball season. It has been a long time since I have seen the Indians play and man have I missed it. Grady had an awesome game and I think that he is going to have another great season and will continue to build on what he accomplished last season. It was weird to watch the game because there were a lot of guys playing from their minor league teams and this was the first time I had seen some of them play in an Indians uniform. I was a little disappointed that Travis didn't play today but oh well, there will be plenty of time to watch him once the regular season starts. Even though they lost the game to the Mets, it was awesome to see some old Erie Seawolves playing for the Mets. Andy and Juan did great today and I wish them the best of luck and hope that both of them will continue their growth as players. I was impressed that Juan even managed to get to first base in time to be safe, since it always seemed like he was always just a few seconds late getting there in Erie. lol It's nice to that Andy is still as sharp at ss as he was in Erie and is only getting better and better with the playing time he is getting. I think that I need to figure out how to make icons so that I can make one for Travis and Grady. lol I think on that note I am going to sign off. Peace out.

I can totally see Andy making the bigs this season. I caught a Tides game on tv late last season and I would agree, he's only gotten more amazing.
He still calls Logan every few weeks or so to see how he's doing... what a great guy!

And I hope that Juan gets a good chance in the Mets org. If he hadn't been in the Tig's system last season I think he could have seen a fair amount of time in Trips.

Is it just me or does it seem like the Mets are taking a lot of great Tigs prospects lately? I hope Andy makes DD eat his words.

I would have to agree with you on that one, I totally forgot that Juan was signed with them until I saw him on the tv. I hope they both prove people wrong about their playing ability. I also have noticed that Detroit does not seem to be a very good organization to be in overall if you are trying to come up to the bigs because there is a jam of people trying to earn spots, but I guess that is found in most organizations to some extent.

I would agree with that comment about Detroit. I don't really think DD is doing a great job. As an organization, they have a lot of prospects who show promise, especially in the lower levels, but they don't end up going much of anywhere. Either DD needs to learn to draft better, or he needs to spend some more time and money on player development. Although I do think shit-canning Tram was a good start, the Tigs could stand to be a bit more proactive... it's not like they can afford to buy all of their talent like the Yankees. But that's a subject best left for never.
