Tomorrow nights game for the
Wilmington Blue Rocks will have some excited listeners from the West coast tuned in for the recently called up southpaw
John Lamb and his debut start. It has been said on the Minor League Baseball site that Lamb is officially the youngest player in the High A level Carolina League, just by a couple months of another Royals prospect,
Salvador Perez. Might get the chance to see/hear both young men playing together, as the battery, on the first game of the six game home stand.
All our family and friends are extremely proud of this new challenge for Lamb to wear his 4th hat in less than twelve months of playing
professional baseball for the
Kansas City Royals organization. He missed the entire 2008 season following the 5th round draft selection while he continued to rehab his throwing arm from the injury suffered in an automobile accident in February, prior to the draft.
Good luck Blue Rocks and son!
