Well I'm not playing AAA this year for the Chatham Junior Ironmen, I got cut so i'll be playing in Chatham head this summer playing Intermediate (which is what I played the past two seasons).
It should be an interesting season, we are going with a very young team, I think the average age of our team will be 20, with me being the 5th or 6th oldest on a team of about 16 players.
We have some good guys there so we should be fine, I can see us stealing a few games here and there.
First off at practice today we had a catch, then we broke into two groups and took ground balls, now mind you i'm an outfielder so it's always a strugle when I we do ground balls, because the ball is usually in the air or rolling slowly when the ball gets hit to us.
Did ok with the GB's so we moved on to the next drill that was hitting balls to the outfielders which I did good, my arm has improved and my throwing is much better.
After that we did hitting, i'm not the most powerfull hitter, but I always hit for average which means I usually make contact and get quite a few singles.
It was just a batting practice so someone just threw about 20 balls at you and then you'd hit them.
I hit about 1/2 of them up the middle, and solid too.
The regular season starts next week, i'm looking forward to it.
Practicum is going good, can't wait for it to be over though.

First Week of practicum in the books!
Things got off to a bit of a rocky start on Monday.
I had to go in for work at 9, but I accidentally sent my alarm for 730pm and not am so I was late for work n my first day, but I called before my shift started so things turned out ok.
Second day my alarm didn't come on but I woke up and make it to work on time. I know have a new alarm clock that I havn't had any trouble with.
The week went really well and I got alot of compliments on my articles this week too.
I had baseball tryouts on Monday night, what a disaster that was.
There was still snow along the fence in centre field, it was windy and cold too.
I don't have the best arm and the wind was blowing in my face so I had to throw the ball harder than I usually would to reach the person so i wounded up having a sore shoulder for the next two days.
To make matters worse, I hurt both my knees running for fly balls, but they are a bit better today so I should be good for Sunday afternoon.I hope anyways.
Hope everyone is enjoying their practicums.
