Camp breaks end of this week, and even though it's son's 3rd season, he has never left after camp to another destination. Even though he is confidant where he night be going, you don't find out until the last minute, maybe the day before you leave, he'll try to get home this week though, pick up some clothes for the colder weather and say goodbyem if he leaves Florida. If he leaves to where he should go, he's got the roommate situation all worked out, which is something he has always stressed about here, it's very expensive in south florida, and last year ended up living with daughter for a few months in Boynton, about 30 minutes away. That's not too bad, but if you get in at 3-4 am in the morning, that's tough. My son has had some bad roomie experiences, so he is happy he has that covered. Funny thing is the roommates that you begin with are usually not the ones you end with, as one leaves, another comes in, so you can't always pick who you want to live with. The Cards have an agreement with a complex close to the field in Springfield, furnished, they bring in all really nice stuff for the players, you know wide screen TV's and queen size beds. Those things make you feel "at home". His fiance will come to join him when they feel the time is right.
However, right now there are 7 starters on AA and only 5 needed, so anything is possible, that's why it's so difficult, you may be ready for teh next level, but there's a log jam.
For folks who don't know, if you do not make a full season roster, you remain in extended spring training. I also just found out that unless you are on the rehab roster, you are not paid, given room and meal money. Not sure if that is a team thing or milb wide.
