Hey D,

Change of plans. I just got a call from the Yankees, and they told me I'm reporting to the Tampa Yankees in the Florida State League instead. I'm totally fine with that. Instead of rookie league, I'm going to start out in high Class A ball.

They're going to use me as a starter for now, so I can get the innings I need to develop properly. I'm OK with that too, although I do like the idea of pitching more often than every fifth day.

It's been a pretty crazy week. I hope things settle down soon!

Tom

Note: The Yankees computer GM did promote Tom almost immediately, after first assigning him to the Rookie League. He was on the GCL Yankees roster one minute, and on the Tampa team in the FSL the next.
