Just got the call that this AA pitcher got promoted less than 15 minutes ago to the show!
God Bless Mr Bill Bavasi and the Seattle Club!

Way to Go Travis Chick!! Congratulations!!!!
Couldn't have happened to a better person with mountains of talent and desire!! Very deserving and looks very good to me! Especially considering this pitcher was just in Southern League not long ago pitching for Lookouts before being traded to the Mariners by Reds.

Peace,
Shep

I would also like to say God Bless Mr Dan Evans,
Mr Bill Bavasi's right hand man, who saw our pitcher, Travis Chick in his last start, just before the go ahead to Seattle in San Antonio for the Missions, just a few days ago. Dan has served as GM for the LA Dodgers and Chicago White Sox pretty recently before joining the Mariners. He knows talent when he see's it, that's for sure! Also, Travis Chick's first professional pitching coach
also see's something special as well as a few others in our scouting circle. We can't all be wrong. Travis will get his chance this week in Seattle and only a very few have been promoted up since Sept 1st and hope that Travis makes the most of this opportunity. Happy Labor Day to Travis and the Seattle Mariners! Peace, Shep

Since we are getting cutting edge info here on players I have received phone calls about, I think I should mention the official call-up date is Sept 8 for RHP Travis Chick. I should have waited till after the press release I suppose but just thought the board here should benefit from insider, pre-press release knowledge here peace extended HSBBW Members and ghosts(woops..I meant guests)
