1. I like mountain environments.
2. It’s easier than I realized to get into Kingsport. There’s a little airport close by.

I agree with you Nate- send Abruzzo and jimenez back up. And just a note on Orta- he has nearly as many walks as he has SOs.

…was it the backwoods mountain environment, or the three day treck to and from the nearest airport, that kept you from Kingsport?

you know, its funny, anyone who’s hot and in A ball gets sent to Brooklyn to give the Cyclones a bit more punch but they keep on playing like a last place team.

Maybe more important than talent, is a sense of team comraderie. In a level of ball where most of the players still have a high school/college attitude, the players need to find consistency in themselves to improve. So maybe some consistency on the roster and in the locker room would be better than someone who is a little better coming in every few days. Just a thought…

Didn’t make it to Kingsport – I suppose if that’s my only major regret from this summer, I’m doing pretty well! He’s supposed to have a big arm – BA claimed 91-94 touching 96 and ranked him #22 preseason.

Lovin’ that Wilmer.

Toby, did you get to see any of Orta when you were down there? Don’t know all that much about him, but I’d been told he has nice stuff. Guess the organization might not be too high on him if he’s still relieving in Kingsport at 22, but is there any reason to keep an eye on him as a possible relief arm in the fututr?
