This is damn good man!

Thanks!

I've made it through my first month of my second year. I'll post an update tomorrow

I'm kinda mad how the Braves have treated me, but I gotta be a team player...

At bat in Richmond

March 31st, 2008 - Well the first month of the 2008 season has past. I've been playing pretty well here in Richmond this month. I started the season with a 4 for 5 game with 2 homeruns. It was pretty sweet. There was a lot of press about me being in AAA instead of in Atlanta, and I think that game fueled that fire a little more. But I totally understand why I'm here. Mark DeRosa has a lot more major league experience than I do and the guys in the front office thought he was a good guy to pick up. He still has a lot of fans in Atlanta, so I can see why they wanted to go that way. From what I've seen, he's been doing a pretty nice job there in Atlanta as well.

I was a bit concerned at the start of the season when I was in the lineup as a DH. I love fielding so much, the first week of the season I was a little bummed that I was only hitting, but at least I was hitting good. I had a homerun in my second game of the season as well. But over the past couple weeks I've been getting a lot of time at SS and some 3B. The last couple games of the season I even gave Pete some time off at second.

I'm feeling pretty comfortable at the plate this season. Having a season under your belt, especially one with MLB experience, really helps out. Last year I was pressing a lot of time, but this year I've been having good luck. My average is pretty high after the first month and I've already hit quite a few homeruns. I also think all the time I've spent in practice working on my baserunning skills is paying off. I've been batting 1st or 2nd in the lineup quite a bit so far this season, and I've gotten myself into scoring position with a few stolen bases.

I think if I keep going the way I started and if some opportunities open up in Atlanta, I should find myself back in The Show soon. All I can control is my performance here and that's what I'm keeping my focus on.

Video quality isn't that great, but here's a quick vid of a homerun from a couple games ago. I barely got it over the fence on this one. Earlier this season I did blast one 415 feet.

Here's my AAA stats so far this season:

AAA Richmond Braves
Avg	2B	3B	HR	RBI	K	BB	SB
.375	4	0	6	18	8	0	6

Liking your dynasty bro. It's making me think strongly about removing a lot of junk from my memory cards and starting a second one as a position player to compliment my SP RttS.

Thanks! I really like this mode, there are things that could work a little better, but it's great fun. I like being able to play so many games so quick.

The Braves are starting to tick me with their handling of Mr. Bottoms.

LOL! I gotta keep reminding myself it's only my second year. But come on, I batted .333 through 60 games last season, and I'm still behind Pete Orr!

Same thing happened to me... I got called up for the last couple months of the season, hit like .370, and started the next season in AAA.

Anyway, nice touch with the AJC & ESPN articles. Cool replay, too.

Thanks. Well, it only took a month before I replaced Prado in Atlanta as you can see in my previous post

I'm glad you like the AJC articles and stuff, I've got a template set up for them now so it just take a second to make them.

Re: aukevin's MLB 2007 The Show Career mode updates

This is good stuff man! I have MLB 2k7 and have never played THE SHOW but it is strange as earlier this year i was talking to my buddy about how cool it would be if you could create yourself and make it to the big leagues (played 2nd when i played) and i was shocked when i was reading about THE SHOW about how this IS in the game, just sucks that my PS2 died few years ago and i went and got an xbox and am now on a 360 so i can't get this game!! Maybe when the 360 dies (soon by all the problems with them i've heard of) it will be time to go back to sony and get a PS3.

Thanks. LOL, well I hope your 360 doesn't die, but it stinks this game is only available to Playstation people. This mode definitely is a fun way to play as a change from the standard franchise style.

Re: aukevin's MLB 2007 The Show Career mode updates

LOL, I forgot to mention earlier. Not only did Mark DeRosa take what I thought would be my starting 2B spot, he also took my jersey number, #9! Now I'm lucky number 13 :P

That bastard! Maybe you should do like the movie The Fan and let Robert DeNiro take care of business so you can get your number back.
