A AHSpitcher17100+ posts
well after tryouts with the dodgers,orioles,yankees and Nationals i finally have found another place to play. Pending a physical i will be signing with the Nationals this friday, i'll be in extended for the remaining 3 weeks or so it lasts and then they'll make a decision on where to assign me. Well i'd just like to thank everyone on the board that has supported me since my release and i hope you will keep up with me as i further my career from here on out, again a big thanks to all of you who have been a big help, i will continue to frequent the board and help everyone as much as possible! Thanks!

Hooray, Shane!

Remember the plan:

"I got news for you Mr. Brown, you haven't heard the last of me. You may think I'm (blank) now, but someday you're gonna be sorry you cut me. I'm gonna catch on somewhere else and every time that I pitch against you I'm gonna....(you can fill in the rest)!"

Your Dad helped you with your mechanics, now go for it.

I look forward to rooting against you when you pitch against the Cards like I was doing for Zach last night! (It's a joke, OPP, really, just a joke! Wink .....kind of like the Cardinals season so far..... )

Cal Ripken Jr's 8 elements of perseverence:

Shane ...

Glad to hear that you have been picked up by the Nationals. I sincerely believe they are doing a very good job of bolstering their farm system with quality minor leaguers. The GM was with the Dbacks and seems to have a good eye for pitching talent ... go show them what you are made of. Congrats and may your future be all that you hope it will be.
