First

I just want to say I was one of the first to start following Asheville Tourist alumni and current Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story as he began spring training trying to earn a spot on the Colorado Rockies roster. I, nor anyone else for that matter, predicted the kind of success that he is having. Seven homeruns in his first six major league games. It is almost redundant to list all of the records he has set. Throw in a .333 batting average and 12 runs batted in, and he is the National League Player of the Week.

Baseball bloggers and writers are a dime a dozen. My baseball blogs blog have not captured anyone's attention and probably won't but I can say that I was one of the first (if not the first) to start following Trevor Story. I started out spring training writing about several ex-Asheville Tourists that had a chance to make the team but Story's name is the one that kept appearing at the top of the list. Story is the #11 ranked Rockies prospect and he wasn't even on the team's radar for this season. Story had a very good camp and throw in Jose Reyes' legal problems and Story emerged as the starting shortstop. He knocked the rest of it out of the ballpark.
