The Journal of Christopher Quinn (2b, Pittsburgh Single-A)

MAY 6, 2003

Joe Bowden (2B on the ILB squad) is out for the season. Willard Gray has taken his spot in the lineup, and Joel Hunt was called up from AAA. This might mean a promotion for me sometime soon... Of course, I can’t get a word out of our skipper, Michael Burdge. He’s rather tight-lipped about everything. His drills are good, and we’re winning a lot, which is exciting, but I don’t get much personal attention. No one does. I need a tougher skin...

MAY 10, 2003

May is getting to be a good month. So far, I’m 11-34 this month, and tonight, my first Pittsburgh home run. Yes, it’s Single-A ball, but a paid pitcher threw it, and I hit it 300-something feet, which was good enough to give me a couple ribbies in the game. It’s been 34 games, and I’m feeling comfortable here. Wilkes-Barre is a lame town, but the team is having fun.

MAY 12, 2003

So much for that promotion. Dennis Bauza was just signed to a free agent deal, and they put him in AAA. I’m still stuck in Wilkes-Barre with my adequate .286 average, and my rather pathetic .312 OBP. I’ll never hit leadoff if I can’t start pulling walks. Meanwhile, why is Kenneth Kerr still here in A-ball? He’s hitting .382 with 17 home runs in 35 games. PROMOTE HIM!

MAY 17, 2003

Another slap in the face of my eternal hope. We just shipped Gerner and ILB pitcher Oren Logan to Atlanta for John Batton. He’s nothing special – career .160 hitter with Baltimore and Atlanta. But it looks like they’re giving him the starting job in the bigs. Bauza went down to AAA, and there’s rumors that Gerald Carmody (current AAA second baseman) is on his way out.
