I got called up last night after what has seemed like forever.
I was drafted as a SS for the Chicago White Sox in the 3rd round after a decent showcase with no power. As of the all-star break in year one I was batting .333 with 8 home runs and 44 rbi's and 30 stolen bases. I was then all of a sudden traded to the Oakland A's where I was used exclusively as a DH for the rest of the year. I ended the year in AAA with our team losing in the second round of the playoffs but ended the year hitting .308 with 13 home runs, 92 rbi, & 52 stolen bases between AA & AAA.
During the offseason I noticed the A's acquired Elvis Andrus to play SS but were very weak as an organization at 2B so I asked at the beginning of 2015 to play 2B, which I was granted. I was starting at 2B and after hitting .308 with 4 home runs and 12 RBI's through the first month, I was promoted to the big league roster last night. I played one game against Boston before going to bed and went 0-3 with a walk. I am looking forward to playing next to Andrus & have been planted as the #6 hitter for the time being as being the #3 hitter all through the minors.
