Chapter 975 Young Children of the Little League
There are a lot of people in the short-term 1A, and it is already crowded with people after 9 o'clock in the morning, probably because they are waiting for the brunch at [-] o'clock.

"Life in the Little League is hard, and it's a little bit of a stretch, woo woo woo~" Castia watched Shen Qin practice all morning, and now they came out of the shower together: "Eat more, you can save a meal."

Shen Qin was stunned. He had heard a lot of stories about the minor leagues, and low salaries were normal, but was it really so hard? "Didn't you get dragged early?"

It stands to reason that players who don't need to participate in the draft always have a bit of an advantage in terms of signing bonuses.

"I only took [-] knives at the time." Castile pouted: "I left [-] knives for my family, thinking that I could make a lot of money when I came here, so I brought less than [-] knives, which is not enough at all. People who are well-off can still hire nutritionists and professional self-training coaches, but we simply can’t do it.”

"I still have to work part-time during the offseason. Some of my friends always say that my grades can't go up. You can't keep up with independent training. How can my grades go up? They are all envious of me coming to Panda, and I get more every month. It’s a lot of money. One more meal every day!”

"..." Shen Qin's eyes widened: "Is it really so hard for other ball groups?"

"That's not true. It's okay at R-level, and it's more difficult from 1A onwards. But at least you can drink melon seeds."

"..."

"How did you spend your signing bonus?"

"Buy a car for each of your parents." When talking about this, Shen Qin burst into tears. Even if he bought it, he still wouldn't have the autonomy to drive it. Taiyang is still the cutest! "The rest was handed over to them and I kept a little for myself."

Castile looked envious, and asked Pepe: "What about you?"

"I opened a milk tea shop, then bought a house in Florida, and the rest was used to repay the loan for my family, so I didn't have much left."

Castia curled her lips: "You are lucky. I heard many people say that if you pay off the loan, there is nothing left?"

Pepe nodded: "That's right, it costs a lot of money to hire professional organizations for training during the holidays, and the family invested a lot. When I was young, my mother ran around with me every day for competitions. It didn't matter how much money was spent. There is no certain number, and it is basically like this in the families of children who play basketball."

“How much does it cost to buy a house?”

"25."

"Pfft! Is it too expensive? There are a lot of mansions over there that cost more than a million dollars, right? I used to be in the little league where I raised chickens. There was a retired star whose wife was an agent and specialized in selling mansions. When he came to guide practice I also said that if you buy a house in Florida, you can find him, discount or something?"

(taken from gery)

"It's a house in an ordinary community. It's more convenient for my brother to play golf."

Shen Qin was very surprised: "Your brother doesn't play baseball?"

"He likes golf better, and he is also playing baseball. Let's watch it later. The kid is getting faster, and he will know when he goes to high school."

Castilla obviously likes Pepe very much. As a player whose native language is not English, it is always easy to stick together. Shen Qin is extremely grateful to Yuri and Nishikawa for their insistence. As a foreigner, it is really difficult to join the American professional baseball team. Can't speak Spanish.

Pepe's native language is Portuguese, so it's an inherent advantage to mix it up.

Otherwise, why would Castile talk so much to the two of them~
"Ah~ I don't like to play golf, I'm impatient!" Castia grinned: "Drinking juice? I'll hit it for you."

"Row."

It was the first time for Shen Qin to eat in the dining room with a bunch of people since he left school. He somehow felt a little uncomfortable. Some of them were too young, right?

With that in mind, I asked.

Castilla pointed to himself: "Just like me, most of them came out of the training camp, the Pandas also have their own training camp, and last year each team was able to pick players from the 40-man roster, so many came. Teenage."

"so skinny!"

The person who can make Shen Qin say the adjective thin is really thin~
Those boys were tall, but they were a little exaggeratedly thin, and they felt like they had grown too fast and couldn't keep up with their weight.

"It's still developing. Unlike us who want to get into the big leagues as soon as possible, they only have one goal now, to grow meat!"

"Only when their bodies have reached a certain level can they undertake the corresponding training and develop their subsequent long-distance hitting ability."

"Then why are they at this level?"

"It's normal for short-term 1A to go up and down, and there will be transfers from time to time. This is a level of practice and adaptation, and there is no ability to determine it. Only the regular 1A\2A\3A is considered a normal official move." Casti Ya thought for a while and then said: "However, 2A is the most special. Many players have never played 3A. 3A is more for major league players who signed a minor league contract. Before the contract is bought out, put it there for practice or Adjustment. 2A is moved up, and it is normal to go directly to the major leagues. Of course, depending on the distance from the major leagues, sometimes the players on the 25-man roster will also go there to play rehabilitation games.”

Shen Qin nodded, he was quite aware of this.Because the 2A back is in Springfield, which is very close to Shengcun, many players will play rehabilitation games there, and help sell tickets by the way. (There are many places with the same place name, here specifically refers to the Springfield Cardinals.)
"So entering 2A means that there is a great hope of entering the major leagues?" Pepe was very curious: "Then you played 2A last year, wouldn't you be able to enter the major leagues soon?"

This kind of words refers to friendship and support, but it can be applied to Castile. The young man raised his chin proudly: "I was on the top [-] list last year! Otherwise, why would the panda pick me in."

Shen Qin hehe, he still knows the normal mode of operation. If the other party enters the top [-] list, how can he directly use the selection method to take it over: "Pandas should use the transaction method to pick you, right?"

Castilla scratched his head: "I am the top [-] of the team."

"..."

Shen Qin is helpless, the difference between the top [-] of the minor league and the top [-] of the minor league of a single team is not a star and a half!
Ah...I didn't intend to expose it!You won't be angry, right?
Castilla is not embarrassed: "The previous coach said that my problem was that I was struck out too easily. There was no problem with my strength, so I hope I can practice more in the minor leagues."

In this way, Shen Qin understands that different clubs deal with this type of electric fan player in a very different way.Some of them have to wait for the players to adjust, and some of them who are hopeless in the playoffs will directly pull up to the major leagues and practice while playing.

Speaking of which, Castilla may indeed have hope. The Panda’s record in the first year of this year is just stuck at 5%, and the current US West is dominated by the Astros. There is no hope for the playoffs, of course. Go up and practice when the list is expanded in September~
But if that's the case, it doesn't seem to make sense to go early by yourself?Is Xi Chuan fooling himself?
