Yep, further south 39th st. on the dunes. Don’t really go there that often. Kids are grown and moved on, wife passed, so mostly relatives use the place from week to week during the summer.

They said after letting AGon walk that they’ll trade better at bats for some defense. That tells me Pastornicky will start since he can probably put up a better AB than Simmons right now.

Sorry to hear that Trader… well, we’ll be there the last two weeks of July if you want to come down and meet the 4 year old… teaching her how to surf this year. The 5 year old picked it up pretty quickly last summer, was riding waves on day 1.

Minor League Stats:
Player A – career ERA-2.96, career WHIP-1.139, last season at AAA ERA-2.55,WHIP-1.182, 7.7 H/9, 0.9 HR/9, 7.6 K/9, 3 BB/9
Player B- career ERA-3.56, career WHIP-1.264, last season AAA ERA- 4.15, 7.9 H/9,
1.7 HR/9,10.4 K/9, 4.6 BB/9
Player C- career ERA-2.42,career WHIP-1.079,last season AAA ERA- 1.19, WHIP-0.796, 4.8 H/9,
0 HR/9, 2.4 BB/9, 10.5 K/9
Player D- career ERA-2.52, career WHIP-1.046,last season AAA ERA-1.49,WHIP-0.859, 5.4 H/9, 0.7 HR/9, 2.3 BB/9, 12.2 K/9
Don’t know if this will stay ledgible after I post it, but if it does, tell me which player you would feel high on based on overall minor league stats? No cheating. You may quibble about players C and D but clearly they would be your best 2 guys based on stats. Player A is Julio Teheran, B is Randall Delgado, Player C is Kris Medlen who had arguably the best minor league stats of all, and player D is Tommy Hanson who got the label of “can’t miss” star. Braves have won over 80 % of Medlen’s starts, take out his 1st 2 game she started after getting called up and his ERA is barely over 3. He never got a role handed to him, your a starte, no your a reliever, no your a starter again, now your a reliever. Oh and TH- 6′6″, JT-6′2″, RD-6′3″, KM-5′10″ too bad maybe the only numbers that count are the ones that matter the least.

I’m certainly fine with that, I’ll tell you. Not so much Heyward in CF, but Parraz breaking camp with them. He’s a teeny-tiny bit less scrubby than the other options.

Not watching game, but just thinking that if Heyward can hit like 270, have a decent OBP, hit about 20hrs, that takes care of soooo much offensively. We would pretty much be set unless Chipper goes down for an extended period. Keep it up Jason!
