    Braves sign 17 year-old Nicaraguan pitcher Shendell Benard

    I don't speak much of the 'ol Spanish, so here's what the article says according to Google Translate . . .

    The shooter slender coastal Shendell Benard is the newest addition to the Atlanta Braves, one of the organizations most aggressive major league ballplayers firms in our country. Marvin Throneberry, the scout in Nicaragua Braves are confident that this project will achieve Benard organization. "He has a good physique and presence on the hill and I like being disciplined. His fastball is kept between 89 and 90 mph, plus curveball and changeup and throws especially has good command of all his pitches. It's clearly someone who wanted to have with us now depends on him how much progress can be made in the organization, "said Throneberry, who does not take an exact count of total firms in the country, but estimates that already surpassed the thirty. Benard, who studied in the United States and played at this year's National Championship with the Caribbean coast, is part of the MVP Rivera Sport Academy, Elio Rivera, and be 18 years old next month. With Benard on board, the Braves maintain its leadership as the organization with more Nicaraguans, now five, led by Omar Obregon and escorted by Evertz Orozco, who was recognized as Pitcher of the Year-, Dilmer Jason Mejia and Laguna.

    One day, I hope to be successful enough to be described as a "shooter slender coastal" in the opening paragraph of an article. I'm kinda slender, but really lacking in other two areas.

    I can cover the "shooter" depending on the exact translation and the "coastal" since I used to live in Myrtle Beach and Charleston.

    We can probably cover it with posters here chipping in - the 17 years old might be the toughest part. LOL
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    I'm still in Charleston, so I have the "coastal" covered, "slender" is never happening though!
