Perspective from a Villalona teammate
Posted By Jeff Fletcher on September 21, 2009 11:40 am
I’m sure we were all shocked by the news that Giants prospect Angel Villalona is a suspect in a murder. However, the incident caused me to stumble into this blog by Giants minor leaguer Garrett Broshuis. In his most recent entry, he describes his shock at the news about Villalona, as well as telling some stories he’s heard from teammates about how tough life can be in the Dominican.
While I was reading, I couldn’t help but be impressed with the writing of young Mr. Broshuis. Frankly, I’ve never heard of him as a pitcher, but the guy clearly has a good head on his shoulders, and he’ll have no problem finding something if this baseball thing doesn’t work out. Heck, he could be a sports writer.
This entry about pitching in situations is very interesting. Apparently he’s also a blogger for Baseball America, where he wrote this post about missing his wife during the season. Heartwarming stuff.
Now that I know who this kid is, I’m going to root for him to make the big leagues. If for no other reason than it will prevent him from taking another job as a sports writer.
Just kidding.
