Shawn has been moved up again! Yay! Lookout, Lookouts! :)

"...Shawn Tolleson has been called up to AA Chattanooga after being in the minor leagues for only his second year.
So who is Shawn Tolleson? Just probably the best closer in all of minor league history. It’s hard to explain just how good he is but just look at these numbers.
2010 – Rookie League - 0.63 ERA, 39 SO, 5 BB, 28.2 IP, 26 games 17 saves
2011 – A Ball – 0.00 ERA, 33 SO, 4 BB, 15 IP, 14 games, 10
yes thats right, he didn’t give up a single earned run (gave up a single unearned run, probably via error) and struck out at least 2 batters per inning.
2011 – A+ Ball – 0.93 ERA, 17 SO, 3 BB, 9 IP,, 5 games, 3
That’s a total of a 0.53 ERA with 89 strike outs, 12 walks in 53.1 innings pitched (30 total saves)
That’s just ridiculous, he’s absolutely dominating the competition and he was a 30th round draft pick...this kid will be in the majors soon enough if he keeps this pace up..."

**We are so incredibly proud of you, Shawn! Keep up the good work. We know that you are working hard and it shows. Love you and so looking forward to getting to come see you this summer.
What's more...Andi said "Dodgers" this morning for the first time. I was amazed! Yes, of course Andi is cheering you on! She may be your youngest and littlest fan, but she she has a lot of spirit! She loves to watch the computer when you are pitching. When we say that it is time to watch Uncle Shawn, she will point to the computer (actually stand it front of it and point and touch the screen and then hit as many buttons as she can, then folds down the screen and looks behind it, -as if she is looking for you, maybe?) So cute! Love you, Buddy! See you soon!
