Wesley Metheny

My first week as a pro was a four game series. I went 6 for 16, scored 4 runs, hit 2 home runs, and 6 RBIs. Arizona League was going pretty well for me. With three days off before our next set of games, our only significant break through the end of the season, the gang (SS Austin Filiere, RF Luke Miller, LF Gareth Morgan, Lefty Specialist Sean Guenther, and me) were off to the bar again.

As I was putting on my street clothes Zac Livingston asked to see in his office. It’s a funny thing about baseball, you can be hitting .375 and when you manager asks to see you in his office you can’t help but start feel your heart speed pick up. I was in the lowest level of ball, they couldn’t demote me; maybe they are benching me? It’s only 4 games, and I haven’t been doing spectacular. Our Low-A team the Everett AquaSox had two good second basemen in Tanner Nishioka and Joseph Rosa so they wouldn’t be calling me up to be the third man.

“Hey Wes, no need to sit down just wanted to give you a quick heads up. Everett is sending down Joseph Rosa. This won’t affect your time considerably, he’s going to be taking over your role at second but I’ve got you penciled in as our DH. He is going to push you down in the lineup one spot.” I nodded along wordlessly, this wasn’t the worst thing that could happen. “Enjoy your night out.”
