Cinco de Mayo Update

Happy Cinco de Mayo! I always tell people that I am Mexican and most of the time people do not believe me. This would definitely make my Grandma Weathers unhappy. The family tree breaks down like this. My Grandma, who is Mexican, married my Grandpa Don, who is not. Then my Dad married my Mom who is Italian-Irish. So my sister and I are ¼ Mexican. Anyway, I would just like to take this opportunity to say hello to the Weathers side of the family and a big thanks for all the support.

A few things to mention:

• I am staying on a strict throwing program. This week I am able to throw from about 60 feet. I threw yesterday and it still feels pretty good. I am pretty optimistic so far. Just keep getting my work in and hopefully stay on track and I should be ready to go in no time at all. At least it will seem like no time.

• I got a new roommate. His name is Will Harris. I should hate him because he went to college at LSU. Turns out not every SEC opponent that I had is a terrible person. I met Will in Asheville and we were roommates in regular spring training this year. He was in Tulsa but was having a little bit of elbow pain. He is back on track now, so he came to extended so that he would be able face hitters and do the things he needed to do.
