Rex I cant wait til you get a chance to see Mr Shines in action. He is one hell of a good show.

Jim, od you expect to be in Charlotte this year, have they said anything to you?

You seem awfully giddy today, Bull.

Maybe I've missed something, but who or what is Mr. Shines?

one of the Sox future managers

He was the Warthogs manager last year. This year he will be in Bham.

Hey Bull and/ or Jas, any luck with having Bull, or any of the other minor leaguers, doing the journal or writing for FS.com? I am really hoping this comes together.

All I can say is run if he's a mudwrestler

Bull, care to expand on that a bit? LOL

 

I don't know much about him at all.

He is borderline crazy. If you thought Wally was intense, wait til you see Razor. The man is the ultimate in intensity. Its fun to watch and to be apart of. He brings out the best in his guys.

So borderline crazy is a good thing?

sometimes!!!

Should be interesting then. LOL

JimH,

 

I am probably gonna be back in Bham to start this season b/c of all the older dudes we've signed. Also, Sanders, Munoz and Meaux, all 40 man guys, are lefty relievers like myself, so which ever of them , if any, dont make the big club will be in Charlotte. Which in turn bumps me to Bham. But as i see it, I need to do well wherever I am at and AA and AAA are almost the same thing. I need to put some numbers together this year to get a serious opportunity at some point.

sometimes!!!

does borderline crazy work for a whole season or get tiring?

 

does it work for more than one season?

 

I am asking because I am curious about the whole mtivation of players thing given the change in managing styles in Chicago

Hopefully u can put up sum good numbers down at Birmingham Bull and put sum pressure on those guys up in Charlotte to promote ya.

If Razor Shines doesn't get a commercial deal with "Gillette," then someone is missing the boat.

I agree completely Bull........ too often guys get wrapped up in how many A's there are where they are playing. The difference between AA and AAA is minimal. With several lefties technically ahead of you (on the 40-man) you just have to keep producing and wait for your opportunity, whatever and whenever that is.

 

Being depressed or pissed because you are back in Brimingham or have one less A than you would like, will not serve you well on the field, unless you can completely channel that into better performance.
