If he's in AA, then he already is in the pros! LOL!
Hurricane....
Understand what you are saying and understand the coach and his post.
When you sign a Contract to play professional baseball, you are a PRO because you are getting paid to play the game.
Most kids, however, don't consider a player a PRO until they get to the big leagues.

Well, yes and no. I didn't assume that hurricane knew that AA was professional ball but kind of hoped that hurricane knew. To sign a professional contract is a tremendous feat regardless of level. You are a professional player from that point on. I know thousands of players (former as well) including myself who would give anything to get the opportunity to just sign the contract and get a chance. Then, to make it to AA is that much sweeter. AAA still looms for most and to be honest, somewhere between A and AAA is where the dream ends for most. Yes, AAA IS THE STOPPING POINT FOR MANY! IMHO, that does not diminish their accomplishments. I've coached several that have played at each level. I consider all of them professional ball players.
98 more days until he reaches the bigs
no no no, i know that hes pro im no an idiot. i was just lookin for feed back on how hes doin and if hes really gonna have a chance up at the "show". i play for waubonsie, and have caught him and as far as i know his stuff is more then electric and i think hes got a great chance.
Last time i checked, Baseball America had him up in sept. 2009, they project him to be their 3rd starter by then.
