Good friend in Single A

[dawgball]

Neal Sellers

This is a good friend of mine who is trying to make his way up in the Astros organization. This season has started off pretty well with a .517 batting average. His junior year in college at Eastern KY, he either led the nation or was second in RBIs. I'm sure someone can find out.

His name is listed as Patrick here because he didn't want to make a fuss aobut his name at first. He is trying to get that changed now.

He's still playing well with a .372 average on the year. I would like to see his HR numbers go up some, but if he can keep the average up, then I don't think it will matter much. He was known for his power. His junior year in college, he was second in the country in RBIs. It helped that he had a stud lead-off guy, though.

Also, he was named to the all-star game.

Sounds great, hogman! We're pretty excited for him. Hopefully, he'll be able to show off his fielding skills tonight for you, too. He is one hell of a player.

His stats are pretty good pitching in 7 games.Wonder if your buddy knows Matt.
Not to crazy about dating baseball players.That's my daughter were talking about.I know there not serious but they have been going out for over a month..

 

[dawgball]

I'll send him an email to see, but I don't think he'll respond until after some of the activities die down.

I'll let you know any dirt I find!

Neal just found out that he was named the MVP of the league! He is pretty excited, but he is so humble that he hardly shows it.

He was also name MVP of his team as well as "Most Inspirational" by his teammates.

The Astros are flying him in to take a look at him along with an awards banquet.

They apologized to him about not moving him up this year, but they felt he would grow more where he was since their AA team in Lexington, KY was doing so poorly.
