Some players have "it." In totally different ways, two guys that I interviewed today certainly made impressions on me. First, Aaron Shafer, who is 6'4, throws over 90 MPH, the ace of the staff, and about as nice and modest of a guy you will find. He's very relaxed, likes to laugh a lot, and I'm sure has a calming effect on this team. His interview was very good and will air during Monday's "Gene Stephenson Show."
I also interviewed Conor Gillespie, a career .338 hitter who actually APOLOGIZED to the fans for his effort so far as a Shocker! I couldn't believe it! He said he feels like he put forth about 50% effort last season, and that this year will be different. He thinks he can hit .500! He was the MVP of the Cape Cod League, as most of you know...what you might not know is that he hit nearly .500 this summer against pitching he called "100 times better" than what he will see at WSU. His attitude was unlike nothing I've ever seen...confident, yet embarrassed by his career to this point...and determined. He's destined for stardom in my opinion! By the way, the Gene Stephenson Show will air from 4:30p to 6:30p Monday from "The Shadow." Please feel free to join us LIVE for the show, or to call in your questions for Gene! I have a feeling about this team...
