A few thoughts…
-
Doing well.
I will give you a ring later this week.
In midterms right now. Life as a
student at Stanford. - Austin Wilson

Thank you everyone who supported me and the team
throughout all the years. I never thought this would come to an end. But I
wouldn't want to end it in any other uniform or with any other team. No matter
what happens in the future the only thing I know for sure is that I was a Panther, and was proud of it.
And ending with an overall record of 87-24 isn't too bad either. Again thank
you to everyone who supported me through these years it's been great playing at
Eustis. Go panthers – Chris Okey

the annual Aderlin
Rodriguez rally has begun. He hit his 5th homerun of the
season, raising his BA to .218 and his slugging percentage to .437. The good
news is his last 10 game stat line: .325/.378/.650/1.028, but we’ve seen this a
couple of times before, right. Look, I’m the guy that said for two years that
he was the best bat in the system. He still may be when the bat hits the ball.
Two years ago, he struck out 106 times in 516 at bats. Last year it was 101-K
in 471-AB. This year, he’s cut that down drastically, K-ing only 22 times in
119 at bats. Still, the best contacts I have regarding this system either live
in St. Lucie or scout that league and, no one… I repeat, no one has any faith
in this guy as a future major league baseball player (yeah I know dude… I’m
being negative again… blah blah blah…). I am not offering you any opinions here
other than the ones of people that get paid to evaluate talent at this level
and they constantly remind me not to get carried away if Rodriguez hits 20-25
home runs (24 last year) again. There simply isn’t a position on a baseball
field he can master. He’s still mostly playing third base with an occasional
stint at first base. This is his fifth year stateside and he’s still playing
A+. He turns 23 in November and plays the same position (badly) as David
Wright. Lastly, (again) according to scouts, no one is sent to Lucy to track
him. The best home run hitter in the history of the Mets Sand Gnats history and
the only person who wasn’t intimidated by Grayson Stadium. Sad.

we may want to keep an eye on another streaky
hitter, OF Travis Taijeron. He’s hitting only
.273 for the season (St. Lucie), but his last 10 games (.394/.524/.788/1.312)
earned him POTW in the Florida League. Taijerson had a wonderful 2012 in
Savannah (.299, 230-AB, 12-HR, 44-RBI) and, if I remember correctly, he was the
first guy sent to Lucy that season. He cooled off at the next level (.203)
which happens to a lot of people, and he got off to a slow start this year (April
- .228), but the bat I came to love here in Savannah seems to be alive again in
Florida. God, wouldn’t it be nice if someone came out of the cracks and became
a much needed outfield prospect with an ETA of 2015?
