I know that there are several guys from Tennessee playing in the majors. Post their names and teams so we can all keep track of them. The local papers do a terrible job of this. It will be hard to track down some until camp breaks and they all get assigned, but if you know where they are let us all know what organization they're in.

 

Brennan King, Jim Ed Warden, Jeremy Slayden- Phillies.

BK and Jim Ed are at big league camp and both are very close to making the 40 man roster.

Slayden is currently in AA camp.

 

Patrick Hicklen- Royals

Patrick is in AA camp.

 

All these guys are from Murfreesboro

Warden-MTSC

King, Hicklen, Slayden-Oakland

QUOTE(GradfromtheNest @ Mar 28 2007 - 11:21 PM) 826425498[/snapback]Kyler Burke (Padres, 1st round 2006) got his first big league at bat today against the Royals. He will either be reporting to the Peoria Padres or the Fort Wayne Wizards this season.

 

Brazelton was with the Padres last year but is now in the Royals organization.

 

thanks! keep us posted, as I will do the same. where is burke from?

 

By the way king was reassigned to AAA this week /mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> but after a tremendous spring he's made a great impression on the coaching staff and players. I wouldn't be surprised to see him make the 40 man later in the summer. He'll be playing in ottawa.

I believe warden is close to making the 25 man roster, you can never have too much pitching.

Burke graduated from Ooltewah High School (Chattanooga) last year. Here are some Spring Training photos:

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
