I've been taking the past month to work my way through MLB 08 The Show in preperation for a review on the PS3 and I have to say I've developed quite a player. The organization is in need of a third baseman so I decided to make that my position of choice. Currently I'm leading the AA in the triple crown with a .412 batting average, 20 homers, and 79 RBIs with a 63 game hitting streak. I'm also first in doubles and have a .980+ fielding average.
I keep constantly getting emails saying they want me to spend more time in AA ball and that they'll eventually move me up to AAA. For months I've been tearing it up in the league and hitting almost every goal they set for me. I've improved ever facit of my game except for bunting and have a good number of game winning hits as well as game tying hits.
Yesterday I finished another 2-5 game with an RBI and I get a message as soon as I go back to the main screen of the Road to the Show... I've been traded to Boston for a starting pitcher....
WHAT??!?!?! You mean I bust my butt for 2/3 of the season in trying to be the Cleveland Indians 3B of the future and they send me to freaking Beantown for a starting pitcher???? I hope the pitcher's the next Cy Young, Satchel Paige, Roger Clemens, or Greg Maddux because the Cleveland organization just gave up a sure thing prospect in an area where the game says they are weak. It even hurts to be a Cleveland fan in a game.
