This comes from a friend/mentor of 2B who is in the Angels organization. I don't think he would mind if I shared his very eloquent statement.
"I played with Nick every year since 2005. He was ahead of me but I got called up to Salt Lake last year and Arkansas in 07 and got to catch him in a start last year. He was such a great guy on and off the field. A real funny guy in the clubhouse and fun to be around all the time. I've caught quite a few guys and Nick had the best stuff of anyone I've ever caught. I always thought he would play in the Big Leagues for a long time and it looked like he had finally figured it out at that level. It is a sad reminder to cherish everyday we are given because we never know when our time will come."
What a fine young man he must have been. We send our hopes for peace for the Adenhart family.
