he wanted to quit and his Dad, who was a coal miner, picked him up at the bus station and slapped him. i think it was later on and told him "you wanna quit, fine, you can come work with me in the mines! " Ouch. How's that for some harsh reality? He started to hit again, changed his # from 6 to 7 and the rest is history !
3 teams called up their top prospects yesterday and the braves are doing it today for their kid. if these guys hit and vlady doesn't, he will be an afterthought real quick as his struggles continue.
pfft. they're a dime a dozen. for every mickey mantle and mike trout, there are a thousand of can't miss guys who miss.
Guerrero has hit all four of his homers in the past six games and is 7 for 21 with nine RBIs during that span. The 20-year-old didn't homer in his first 13 games after making his debut in late April.
He's getting in a groove... going to be a good one if he keeps his head on straight. Always nice to see a prospect pay off.
