I am glad to hear Rowan is catching up both defensively and offensively and hope he sticks around a few years. I see off season he has and is getting a lot of speed and strength work in. I hear rumours another South African kid may get offered a signing come July. The work MLB has done in our country has brought about a revelation in our baseball with our kids realizing that hard work brings about success and possibilities of making it to the USA franchises.

Yeah Bob I am ecstatic Rowan chose to be at the Twins organization. Bob we are starved for information back here in South Africa and would love to hear about S African kids like Rowan. We don't to get to hear the opinions of others like yourself that obviously are students of the game and take enormous interest in youngsters and their development. You said Rowan is an "interesting kid" I would love to know what makes you say that.

David I am afraid your USA team is going to have a torrid time against our South African Rugby Sevens side....It's what we do properly haha. But I must say the USA side has improved so much we do tend to get nervous at times. May the games be tough, fair and entertaining. Good luck David. Thanks for the kind comments about a decent kid. Our non-baseball country is growing slowly and we are all grateful for the opportunities a few of our kids are given when their talents are recognized.
