Sea Change

I'm good but I guess I always am. Im tired, but Im guess I always am too. I had a pretty successful and thoughtful year but I am going to rant about that at a later date. We lost some things this year but gained even more. Works hard but so is concrete. The game is what we love anyway right? This is not for everyone. Not everyone is meant to understand. If you're not on the inside you're lost. And if you're lost, well, go home and leave me alone. Everything is good. Everything has been absolutely terrific lately. More baseball later. I just want to get to 7 more posts before the years done. RIP Brittany Murphy, you were terrific in Sin City and 8 mile and Im sure 1000 other things I never have seen. You family and fans will miss you.

The Eagle Has Landed

Today was the conclusion of the winter meetings. Its been crazy and I have been beyond busy. Tom Haudricourt is posting a terrific story about Jeremy Jeffress tomorrow that should give the world a good idea on whats been going on with JJ the last few months. It's a very special story and I hope everyone reads it with an open mind.

Today was a big day. We had 4 players taken in the rule 5 draft. So the count now is 5 big leaguers 13 40 man players and several minor leaguers. I am beyond proud of what my father and I have been able to do the last few years. No matter what other agents have to say about us or whatever it is they think of me..... Im doing something right.... maybe?

Thanks to all the fans who have been so gracious to me this past year on the road. Without you guys and the players I am truley nothing.

Set Fire To Flames

Another lovely day in paradise. Woke up a 5 am today and I am finally just finishing everything I was doing today. Got some 6 year FA guys jobs, finished more baseball card deals which to me was a big achievement given what the economy is these days, and I finished a lot of my paperwork that I am bringing to Indy. I think the Rule 5 draft is going to be an active day for me for certain so that is something I am quite looking forward to. I probably made a good 100 calls today but anything worth doing is worth doing right. Lots of meetings scheduled for Indy....just cant wait to get started.

I'm Coming For You

Ive had an eventful week. Been a bit sick and I actually had to go to the ER last friday. I was admitted to the hospital and got discharged on wed been home for a week now. Free agency obviously has begun and I finished a deal for one of our 6 year minor league free agents while I was in the emergency room with an IV in my arm. It was a pretty surreal moment but talent never sleeps. I owe it to everyone I work for to mean what I say, and when they hear me tell them Ill work until I cant anymore, they know Im telling the truth. So Ive done alot of things in my lifetime, but never have I done a deal while in an emergency room.

Im still here

Hold It In Your Gut

Friday is the big day. 40 Man rosters are finalized and we're expecting some good news. For the guys not added, its just another day. To the guys added, well, one step closer to reaching their ultimate dream. It's usually a pretty special day. The guys not added will have the opportunity to be selected in the rule 5 draft. Its going to be a busy few weeks.

Winter meetings are coming up. I cant wait to get out there. Ive been preparing for months.

Been in the hospital this week, sick as can be. Got admitted after heading to the ER on sunday. I'm doing okay now for the most part, the staff here has been amazing.

Talk to you all soon

I'm Late!

Every november 12th I watch the entire back to the future trilogy. Its like a holiday for me.11/12 was the day that young Marty McFly went back to the future, and for those history buffs out there, its also the date of the famous hill valley lightening storm. Ive been very sick all week so I actually am glad I had a chance to watch all 3 given the circumstances. Im currently doing some paper work while watching Demolition Man. Headed on the road again sunday then some other things.

Brent Brewer is not going to play football. The rumor is bogus.

That is all
