Since my last post I had another great start for the Thunderbolts going 8 scoreless innings. We then set out on the road to Gateway (St. Louis) and Evansville.
Happily I never made it to Evansville. Our manager Tommy Thomson called me in after after our July 31st game in Gateway to tell me that the White Sox had picked me up.
It is a great feeling to be back in the mix with an affiliated team. It totally validates for me all the work I have put in and continued to put in when I was in independent ball. I will definately miss my teamates there, they are awesome dudes.
So now I am playing for the Kannapolis Intemidators in the South Atlantic League. This is the low A affiliate. I am definatley not satisfied being in Low A, but that is where the spot opened up, so I definately won't complain, I just won't be satisfied.
I feel so much more relaxed now, like a weight has been lifted off my back. Its such a gratifying feeling to be with the White Sox. The irony of it is that Jake Peavy was traded from the Padres to the White Sox for 4 minor league pitchers. So thanks Jake for accepting the trade! Haha
Words of Wisdom:
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
