Nestle Drumstick and MiLB

jnorman76 — Fri, 02 May 2008 04:21:00 -0000

Guys ... I work with Nestle Drumstick, and we're now an official sponsor of Minor League baseball. I work for a sports marketing agency called GMR Marketing (GMR Site).

Sorry to make this like a infomercial, and I know this is a bit of a sales job, but I am looking for photos of our signage, video board and birthday areas around approximately 30 parks.

We're in large and small stadiums ... Sacramento, Memphis, lots of California League, all the way to Boise and Stockton. (I can't provide the entire list due to competitive issues.)

If anyone wants to help out, I can hit you up with FREE Nestle Drumsticks for great photos ... please feel free to email me at drumstickbaseball AT gmail.com

Josh Butler insight?

jnorman76 — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 12:39:46 -0000

Anyone seen Josh Butler? Any thoughts on how good of a prospect he is?

In return for Gross, a left-handed-hitting outfielder who spent two-plus seasons with the Brewers, the team received 6-foot-5 right-hander Josh Butler and will send him to Class A Brevard County. Butler, 23, was Tampa's second-round pick in the 2006 First-Year Player Draft.

Steve Pearce - Callup soon?

jnorman76 — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 02:46:50 -0000

Steve Pearce -- Is there any chance he sees Pittsburgh this summer? Is a Nady trade the only way he sees PNC without an injury? I know he came out of nowhere to go to the Futures Game, but he's had a slow start to the season ... Indy has not been kind to date. Anyone have any insight on when he's due? Or even if his bat is ready? Just want to see what everyone thinks ...

Terms for Rookies

jnorman76 — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 17:28:18 -0000

Hello ... I am looking for input on what are other terms describing rookies or first-year players. An example might be: Prospects or Freshman. I am looking to develop a creative name for one of my teams. Anyone have any good ideas? I'm looking for a wide range of terms ... the more the better! Best suggestion wins a firm pat on the back from me!

Dexter Fowler

I need the 411 on this Rockies prospect.

Anyone have any idea as to when he might make the big leagues? Any comparable MLBers? Any inside dish? I would love to know more.
