Draft Day 2007

The Los Angeles Dodgers' 1st round pick is in, 2B Jonathon Carter of North Highlands High School.

I went crazy knowing that I was a first round pick my family and I partied all night.


November 8, 2007

Matthew Brooks: You did it! That finalizes your Major League contract. Congratulations! But you know, with Spring Training workouts and Exhibition games coming up next year, you've got no time to just kick back! You're on the Dodgers now. Do the name proud! Well, from now on, it's all about competition! Oh, as requested, I also signed you up for a place to stay. Let's go there right now.

We drove over to my new condo, it looked pretty cheap and cramped, but it would do for now.

Matthew Brooks: This is the place where you'll live from now on. Oh, almost forgot, to celebrate your new contact, I got you this. Congratulations once more!

Matthew pulled a powerin out of his bag and gave it to me.


What do you think, will you follow. Abilities and Spring Training coming soon!

The first day of Spring Training came up. I was still only 18 years old but I knew I had a shot at the MLB this year.

Another 18 year old, Ethan Oakley, introduced himself to me and we made a bet about the first one to the Bigs gets a meal on the other. All I know is he's going down.

I practiced swinging to improve my contact.

Oakley told me that a pretty sports caster named Mia Jenkins would come for an interview. I hope I can get some words with her!

Abilities:
Trj: 2
Con: D(8)
Pwr: E(95)
RSpd: C(11)
AStr: D(9)
Fld: D(9)
ERes: D(9)

Also, here are the difficulty levels I will play on.

CPU Pitching- Powerful
CPU Fielding- Powerful
Pitch Speed Level- Fast
Lock-on 2
Stolen Bases- Manual

Another update coming soon.

Today, was the second day of Spring Training. The MLB Manager, Joe Torre, talked to me and gave me my first number today. He gave me the number 69 ( :P ).

I worked on contact practice again today.

Mia: Excuse me. I was wondering if I could ask you some questions...

Oakley: Ask me anything you would like! I'll tell you about my moments of glory, my interests, or even my phone number!

Mia: Oh, not you. For today, I'm looking to talk with that player over there... (She pointed in my direction)

Oakley: Aw... She brushed me off. What could she want with you?

Carter: What do you want to ask me?

Mia: What is your goal this season? Is it leading the league in wins?

Oakley: Quit joking Mia! If he got the most wins as a fielder, everyone would be talkin' 'bout that for ages!

Mia: Ah! Oh, I uh... I must have mixed up players... I'm sorry! Oh excuse me! I really am very sorry!

Carter: Its okay, I'm Jonathon Carter, I'm 18 years old and I play second base.

Mia: I'm sorry, I must be going.

Oakley: Well, it looks like Mia is kind of a goof. Then again it adds to her charm.


Also, the coach said he wanted to see a lot from me.


When I got home, I bought a book about batting skills.

First game, Mr. Torre said that I am a starter for the first game. I am batting 7th playing second base. He also said that if I got two hits every game I would make the 25-man roster. Big expectations.

1st AB- I came up to lead off the third inning against Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick. He threw a 72 MPH change up on the first pitch and I grounded out to second.

2nd AB- I came up with 1 out no one on in the bottom of the fifth to hit against Ryan Madson. Madson threw a cutter first pitch that I took for a strike. 0-1. The next pitch was another cutter that I lined into center for a base hit. The next batter was Tony Abreu. He struck out. Then it was pitcher Chad Billingsley with two outs and me on first. He popped out to the catcher to end the inning.

3rd AB- I came up with two outs and a runner on second base in the bottom of the seventh against Francisco Rosario. The first pitch was a late breaking 85 MPH slider that I popped up to the catcher to end the inning.

Final game stats
1-3 1B

Look like I'll be headed down to the Minor Leagues.

After the game, Tony Abreu asked me if I wanted to go out for dinner but I wasn't up for it since I just got sent down to the Minor Leagues.

After the game, Oakley came and bragged to me about being in the MLB. I gave him some money for dinner.

Then, Joe Beimel, the winning pitcher, asked me if I wanted to have dinner with him, I said why not and we had a great time.

Dude, this is awesome! When you post at midnight and 1 a.m., I wouldn't expect too many people to reply right away. Please, keep doing this!

Also, maybe cut back on trying to steal. :wink:
