Gerard Haran
Gerard made his presence known in his Wild Thing debut with a 2-run homerun. The Washington Wild Things were not able to capitalize on Gerard’s success but its great to know he is fitting in just fine as a Wild Thing.
Robert Lara
Robert had a big game while helping the AZL Padres handle the AZL Cubs by a score of 7-1. He went 2 for 4 with a double and a run while also getting a walk. This was his 8th double of the season and also brings his season average to .375.
Dan Leatherman
Dan is still resting from his save a couple nights ago. The Suns have been struggling so hopefully he’ll be able to help out in his next close opportunity.

Haran is on fire, hopefully he will get more playing time on this team even though the competition is not as good. Real quick, where do we go to inquire about autograph requests? Should materials be sent to dynasty headquarters or the athletes themselves? I got my hands on a newspaper article about leatherman which I would like signed and my Topps rookie card of Haran on the cardinals i would like autographed too.

You ask some very good questions –
1. For Haran autos – please just send to the local YMCA near the ball field. It is where all the players stay.
Heitner worked out a deal for all the players as he is ‘The King’ of representing independent ball players.
2. Leatherman will be doing a public signing at the local Wal-Mart in Maryland this Saturday. He is charging a penny an autograph so you can have up to 25 newspaper articles signed for a mere quarter!
3. As Lara is finding out – ‘ You are more than a client – you are part of a Dynasty!’ – which means the new interns are filling out applications at the local Home Depots, Best Buys and Starbucks for him so he has a job when he returns from Low A ball.
Gerard is just unstoppable as a Wild Thing. Even after hitting a homerun in each of his first two games, he then has another impressive game including a double the earned him 2 RBIs.
Make sure you keep that autographed rookie card because that may just be a very noteworthy collectible!
TBG- thanks for the info, you mentioned Leatherman charges a penny but didnt mention the prices for Lara and Haran. Because Lara is dominating the lowest possible level of minor league ball he must be charging close to leatherman. And based on what herzig just said I would imagine Haran can start charging as well. Its funny how people dont do well on a better team like newark and then they go to a garbage team where no one has major league experience and now all of a sudden hes the best thing in indpedendent ball. i need to get my card signed ASAP before a MLB team gives him the call and he gets so cocky that he stops signing.
Herzig- Just a recommendation, i like the idea of putting up the stats in the excel sheet but maybe you shouldnt add in those few sentences for each player. If you want to put what they did in the recent game thats fine but please stop sniffing these dudes asses.
If you honestly have nothing better to do then make fun of other peoples clients…. why even bother? These guys are bringing something to the table that no one else can. The sheer fact that you acknowledge Gerard Haran means that their doing something right and getting there clients publicity that they otherwise wouldn’t have.
