Lamb gets called up to Wilmington Blue Rocks

Okay, it's time to spill the beans about last nights phone call home following the second Midwest League win for my son, John Lamb. During his pregame interview, on KBUR with Nick Devlin, of today's game in Burlington, IA it was announced that Lamb has been called up to the High Class A level of the Kansas City Royals organization, in Wilmington, DE for the Blue Rocks. This change will be officially posted in tomorrow's transactions for the league.

Lamb is set to fly Monday and join his new team on the road in Lynchburg. This move is the fourth move for the Southern California 19 year-old in less than a year. He started the 2009 season in Burlington, NC was moved to Idaho Falls, ID during the season. Lamb broke this year's Spring training in Surprise, AZ by starting the Opening Day game in Burlington, IA for the Bees. Four uniforms and hats in less than a year for the left-handed pitcher from Laguna Hills, CA. Pretty good stuff for a kid that can't put his hat on straight.

Keep working hard son and you will continue to climb the ladder of professional baseball. We are obviously very proud of the direction for his baseball career and thank the Kansas City Royals for their continued support and confidence in John Lamb.
