The Journeyman: Bobby Thomas
I sat on the couch staring at the TV. I had been waiting for this moment for years. I was finally going to be in the MLB draft and my favorite team, the Cubs had a chance to draft me. The draft was just getting started and I was pretty nervous. I was considered a three star prospect and the best first baseman available by Baseball America.
I go out to take a walk too nervous for the draft. While I'm walking I feel my phone buzz. I open it. It is a unknown number. "Hello?" "This is the GM of the Milwaukee Brewers we have selected you with the 32nd overall pick and can give you a 250,000 bonus" "OK, when do I report?" "Next April in Beloit" "Sweet, see you then"

I never thought I would see the day, I am making my pro debut here in Beloit and I am in the lineup batting seventh. I am considered a top 5 prospect in the Brewers system.
First AB: I waste a pretty good opportunity by grounding into a double play Second AB: I meekly make contact and pop out to the first baseman Third AB: I get my FIRST PRO HIT a single to centerfield. Fourth AB: I ground out to the second baseman. I was pretty proud of myself for my first pro hit. EDITORS NOTE: I most likely will do monthly updates

Ugh a rough month for me. Not how I wanted to get started professionally.
I batted only .181 (17-94) with 2 doubles and a homer (what a great feeling off the bat that was) I only had a .189 OBP which is awful and my .234 slugging percentage doesn't help my .424 OPS which is probably in the bottom of the league. I hope to get back on track soon.

I played a bit more this month and batted 1-6. I have been disappointed by my lack of playing time. I want to play more but the team is not letting me
