Analyzing the heart ...

Came the inspiration ...
was sleepy, but I could not sleep, and I think it's because I was about to feel the words I share below.



I say that in a critical situation in which you want to make decisions that will give an important turning point in life (and sometimes without it having to be so important to one), should listen to the heart:

What do you REALLY want?

Willing is not so much "mind", but in the heart.

Whatever one decides, has implications for the present, but more in the future. And affect also to others. It is therefore important to use the mind as a valuable tool for reflection, to analyze the heart.

When we connect with the heart, sorry, we have feelings (intuition) that we say what we do meets and what not, which is in harmony with our principles and values, and what does not.

may be that our beliefs and personal judgments (perhaps accurate, perhaps misguided) move us to make a decision, but these are more in mind than the heart. For this we should question our beliefs and judgments.

more changes will cause the decision will take more time to decide the analysis is to make sure that's what you really want, and take the consequences.

Using creativity, they will find many alternatives. This is a mental skill that combines pleasure and joy that flow from the heart.

Finally, is from the Love (and not from the Ego), where they make the best decisions.

(In another moment of inspiration will detail the reasons for this assertion or belief).

Now, ready for sleep:) Namasté

Season's Greetings Text To Customer




A journalist's work on Joe Strauss Eduardo Sanchez appears among the hot topics stltoday.com site, the most visited information portal in St. Louis. Since Wednesday, when it debuted in the big leagues, the right of Maracay has become an event within the Cardinals organization.
The recruit struck out five batters in two scoreless innings during his debut on Wednesday against the Diamondbacks. Something had happened in 1919 only once and went back to 1960 (Chuck Estrada, Baltimore). On Saturday, Sanchez continued his impressive pace and guillotined three in one chapter against the Dodgers, to add eight in three innings. Unprecedented action in higher for relievers in each of his first two outings have not worked more than two innings, according to Baseball Reference.
Until Saturday, the 11 rivals who had faced just Gerardo Sánchez Parra (grounder for the second), Justin Upton (double) and Marcus Thames (single), managed to make contact and put the ball in play.
A domain that has fired up the pitching coach of the Cardinals, Dave Duncan, as stltoday.com. "He threw 94-95 mph. His pitching was broken there. He threw strikes. You can not ask more. "
nearly six years ago, did not accompany the fanfare Sanchez. In fact few organizations were interested in signing him.
"heard his name for the first time, thanks to Luis Garcia, one of those independent scouts always try to convince you that they have a good player. I was about to turn 16 years old, measuring 5'10 (1.78 meters) tall and very skinny. I asked if he was left handed. When I said no, I said, 'then it must have very good arm. If so I do not care if one of the dwarfs in Snow White '. " Sánchez
placed his fastball between 85-86 mph and 15 days after the first tryout was prowling the 88-89 mph.
"His arm is the one who always wants to see a scout. I was impressed with the flow, so the ball left his hand. His fastball was explosive and although it had a broken pitching set, I noticed a good feeling with the curve and change. At that age with a 75-76 mph curve could project what is now called slurve. Truly remarkable. Was a potential major league arm, a body that at first did not have that projection. But remember that when I recommended your firm, I wrote in my report that reminded me of a young Francisco Rodriguez. Then recruited by an acceptable bond and there's the guy. "
In 32 years of experience as a scout, Brito led Minnesota to four Venezuelan pitchers who came to the elderly (German Gonzalez, Richard Garces, Juan Carlos Pulido and Juan Rincon), but Sanchez is the first thing you do in 11 years with St. Louis. "I always had good vision with the pitchers," he smiled. "Sanchez will be a long time back with the Cardinals."
Law, who signed for less than $ 50 000, is also the first product of the program of the organization in the Caribbean, since Jeff Luhnow international department was in charge of search and selection of talent in 2004.
"Always dream with the time and we wondered who would be the first. Now we have the answer, "said Luhnow to stltoday.com.
Sanchez, 22 years old, began his impressive rise in 2009, first as a closer at Double A and then as a setup in triple A. He noted incipient broken pitching Brito as a teenager is now a sharp slider that combined with his powerful straight rights to get rid of that last year he hit just .157 in the league of the Gulf Coast.

Eduardo Sanchez did not expect so soon

Sánchez belongs to Tigres de Aragua in Venezuela
The law was sponsored by San Luis. The seventh best prospect in the Cardinals had thrown three perfect innings in Triple A

yesterday Eduardo Sanchez joined the Cardinals in Phoenix, after a tiring journey from Memphis, where he played for Triple-A affiliate of San Luis. On the eve, when he learned it would rise to the big leagues, he thought it was a joke. I was working from spring training to get a promotion, but not expected to arrive soon.

"The news I received (Tuesday), late at night after the game against the Zephyrs (Florida Branch League of the Pacific Coast). My roommate (the Mexican Fernando Salas), who also rose, told me.

Reliever, 22 years old, began 2011 as the seventh best prospect of red birds, according to Baseball America , and during spring training left an impression, before being assigned to the Memphis Redbirds, the last week of exhibition games.
"When I said I was going to the minors, after work I did (3.86 ERA in 7 innings), did not affect me. With that experience I learned a lot and helped me focus on what I needed for the next level. "
In two starts in Triple A, Sanchez had thrown 3 perfect innings. Enough to be considered as a substitute, along with Chambers, after injuries to Bryan Augenstein closers and Brian Tallet.
Sánchez, the Venezuelan 259 in the majors, is the first native pitcher who wears the uniform of San Luis.

How To Make Digestive Model

up Jesus Flores: "I back and healthy "


The receiver was uploaded by National. After two years plagued by injuries, the carupanero attempt to show that belongs to the largest

Jesus Flores arrived yesterday morning to Washington to join the Nationals. The receiver traveled from Syracuse, where he was playing with Triple-A affiliate of the capital, before being called to the big leagues.
"I am very glad to be back. After two difficult years trying to get out of the injuries, thank God, I'm back and healthy. That is what matters, the rest will come by itself, "said carupanero through the telephone wire.
Flores injured his right shoulder on May 9, 2009, when he was beaten by a foul ball outfielder Chris Young of the Diamondbacks, and although he could finish the match, the next day was placed on disabled list until 4 September. His return was limited to two appearances as a pinch hitter. The discomfort continued and, after a thorough evaluation underwent surgery performed by noted specialist James Andrews. He spent all of 2010 rehabbing, but started playing in October in the Instructional League and, later, with Magellan.
"During spring training I knew to get off was an option for the Nationals. Not receiving the opportunities necessary to earn the job, but I'm not complaining. The competition was good and very healthy with Ivan (Rodriguez) and Wilson (Ramos), two good receivers. So I was not surprised when they told me to start in Triple A. Was recovered and came from a good campaign in Venezuela (.322, 2 homers and 16 produced, in 25 games). But that was not a guarantee for the team. Minor league would be able to show that my shoulder was recovered, the time it would take up with my game. It was a logical move. "
Waiting for Flores just took 13 shifts, spread over four games with the Syracuse Chiefs. Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman suffered a stomach muscle injury, it will idle at least 15 days, and Washington came to Venezuela to fill the vacancy in the roster of 25.
"I want to prove I'm the same player as before the injury, I have quality to be on the field every day."
After being taken in the Rule 5 draft in 2007, Flores took over ownership behind the plate in 2008 and the club finished second in RBIs (59), while in 2009 left an OPS of .905 in his first 26 challenges .
"Last night (Monday) after the game (of Syracuse), manager Randy Knorr, called me into his office and told me I would go up. I received the news calmly, with much more calm when I knew I was going to the majors for the first time. For the experience and security I have in myself, I feel that now I am a better player, able to do what I propose and I regain the form that I had. Of course, happiness is back there. I called my family and held there too. "

Future "out of Washington?
Half of the training, the Washington media echoed some rumors that the possible departure of the Nationals' Jesus Flores. With Wilson Ramos, as the figure emerging at catcher, and veteran Ivan Rodriguez, the position was covered.
"Well, it's something we have no control," said Flores. "It's a team decision. Although, apparently, was just a rumor. In any case, you can not let something get to you. Always keep the focus on work, what you're doing. "
The situation took a 180 degree turn near the end of the spring, when flowers had been assigned to the minors. Ramos would start the season sharing the home to take title to Rodriguez, who is in the final year of the contract he signed in 2010. The road seems cleared for carupanero, perhaps as a second Palm, if before the end of the campaign Pudge is sent to another computer.
"It's difficult to predict. Wilson can be a starter in any team. I must keep working and give my best whenever I get a chance to play. Because of my age and experience, I think I can play again every day. I keep working to be number one. This is what I aspire. "

will repeat the experience of San Joaquin in November

Photo: Leonardo Noguera

The players eligible for 2012 will be exhibited in the east of the country . Agents Association Venezuela Baseball League plans to create a prospectus with matches every 15 days
The event brought together last week to 70 players in the country eligible to be recruited on July 2, when opening process international firms of major league teams, ended with a positive and Baseball Agents Association of Venezuela (AABV) plans to repeat the experience next November, with the players that will be available for 2012.
"For three days we saw in San Joaquin (Sport Development Centre Empresas Polar) to much Venezuelan talent to become professional, mid-year. We want to do something similar, with the youth of 2012. Let's make organizational adjustments and call, but tries to replicate the success we had late last week, "said Felix Olivo, president of the AABV.
For the first time in Latin America, a presentation or showcase was conducted by the Office of Major League scouting ( Major League Baseball Scouting Bureau ) and was accompanied by two days of meetings between players , who helped the representatives of the 30 largest organizations with the assessment the skills of young people called, in view of possible agreements.
"We look forward to continued support Major League Baseball (MLB) for boys from all over the country have the chance to participate in such programs. It was the first step and I think we're ready to take the next, "he said Olivo.
In principle, in addition to the facilities of Empresas Polar, the AABV plans to incorporate as headquarters to the Estadio Jose Bernardo Perez of Valencia, Alfonso "Chico" Carrasquel, Puerto La Cruz, which will be out the second meeting of this year.
"I think the biggest teams already have a clear idea of \u200b\u200bhow to invest part of their budget on the signatures of July 2, 2011. Several names are there and do not believe that circumstances will change in just over two months. So the idea is to group in Puerto La Cruz from the class of 2012 on three dates in November, still pending. To do this we want to help us filter MLB who will be there, according to reports they have. We aim to bring only the best available talent to make it attractive for managers of international operations team. "
The executive has been in contact with directors of the successful programs Perfect Game Power Showcase and , which every year are performed in the United States to share experiences and strengthen trade ties that could mean the near future.
"At first the idea is to create a league of rookies who can play every 15 days, two or three consecutive dates."
Tomorrow will operations in the Dominican Republic, the Supreme League, a circuit sponsored by MLB with prospects of that country that challenges held every weekend, between April and June, to give opportunity for scouts to watch prospects in action on July 2.
"We have established communication with the organizers (Moises Alou is managing director of the experiment) to explore the possibility of series with selections from both countries. The difficulty is that Dominicans need visas to enter Venezuela, but perhaps with the support of MLB to streamlined procedures. "
So far, plans are in primitive stage, but Oliver is optimistic. "I think we have reason to believe in the consolidation and subsequent implementation a much more ambitious, from the experience last week. "
If all goes well, the group that will test your skills in November would go to an exchange with a group of players from Power Showcase in Arizona, USA, in late December.
"Hopefully we can do, but I think the main obstacle is to be carried out between 28 and 30 December. Dates difficult for a teenager in our country away from his family. However, the possibility is there, "said Olivo. "The idea is to continue joining efforts and achieve high organizational levels so that our rich talent improve their chances of signing with a team of elders. "

A good idea
Felix Francisco, international scout for the Astros, thinks that the joint initiative between MLB and AABV, held last week in San Joaquin should be maintained over time.
"Houston is a middle-market team and the idea is to try to get the best player. We prepare, evaluate all the players and when the time trying to make best investment. Here we see three or four top players and other guys who have a chance. It is something that has been done for the first time and is very positive. None of my trip to Venezuela had the opportunity to see so many talented players grouped in one place. For people like me who do not live in this country has been very important. "
Dominican 's view was the leitmotif of the scouts who attended the showcase .
"The boys should have the opportunity to play. I think the MLB initiative is to prevent the boys are hidden by there, "he said Andres Reiner, special assistant to baseball operations in Tampa Bay. "One thing is to have a good arm, good speed to run and, perhaps, bat speed, quite another to play. The boy learns to read what the game tells him. "

Sánchez, 16 years old in just over two months to become one of the largest companies in the country in the next process of attracting international talent which opens July 2 and ends at 1 September, according to the opinion of a significant majority of scouts who attended the showcase organized by Major League Baseball supported by the newly created Association of Baseball Managers Venezuela, at the Centre for Sport Development Empresas Polar located in San Joaquin.
"I was impressed by his ability to pull in his four strike pitches. The line is above average, with control and command. It's remarkable, "said an inspector in the American League with 17 years experience.
Sanchez prepares hitters with its speed and then sending them out of step with broken pitches. Seems to have a clear idea of \u200b\u200bwhat you are doing. Of how to deal with each shift.
"I hate to repeat pitches, always varies. When I'm on the ground I just concentrate on removing the batter is all that matters, "said Sanchez, who plays from the five years.
"Your arm is looking for scouts. A loose delivery. Straight on average, average curve and change, while his slider is very good, "said one National League scout.
The right has a strong physique, well developed (90 kilograms), which rises to a height of 1.83 meters.
"Your body will not be a problem when burning the baby fat that you do not. May improve his fastball in one or two miles with physical work and adjustments to his mechanics, "said the young scout circuit.
Sanchez is also considered a good hitter with the potential to play the outfield, but his agent, Carlos Gaviria, recommended making the transition. "How many people his age have such features as pitchers? Without a doubt, is a pitcher. "
Gavidia knows what he's talking. Last year represented Adonis Cardona, who received a bonus of Toronto for $ 2.8 million, just for signing. A record for the country.
"I will not connect hits or home runs in each shift, instead throwing I can do a good job every time you touch me pitching," chimed Sanchez, who retired two innings, struck out two and got one hit, using just 20 pitches.
"I'd like to see as a hitter," he said one international scout, while a supervisor in Latin America is not convinced that a pitcher is "premium" and not even placing him in their top 10 choices of its evaluation of 70 young people eligible for the July 2 that attended the event.
"will sign with any of the 30 teams. It has the characteristics of a setup for his repertoire. In any case a good short reliever, " speaking another scout.
Although there is a perception that may serve as a closer. "A closer out to throw everything they have. Sanchez owns a power arm, but his body has not projected as a starter. "
The Barlovento aspires to fulfill the dream of his late father. "I wanted to see me get to the big leagues. It's what I want. As El Toro Zambrano. "

Ruiz was having trouble connecting with many curves, but his arm was rated between 5 and 6, the scale used to measure the tools scouts the players. "The problem is the coordination of their feet when he throws to second," said an area coordinator.
Tocci was not one of the most attractive names, but managed to sneak in and was one of the players who received better reviews after the games on Thursday and Friday.
"It's another thing when the time to play. Quick hands, the ball leaves his bat with as much or more speed with shipments arriving at the plate. That speaks well of his swing. We must not lose sight ", said a talent scout.

Arms that have
The left-handed and right Johander Kevin Mendez Sosa appear in most scouting reports as the arms to be recruited along with Sanchez important bonds. A step below are listed by Edgar Pineda claims and Eudi Idrogo, plus right-handers Antonio Senzatela and Junior Flores.
"Among the left-handed pitchers, Mendez is the best," he said one National League scout. "It measures 1.90 (meters tall) and the line can throw consistently between 85 and 88 miles per hour, but measured at 89. May release the ball at various angles and has a large radius curve, while possessing a good choice to change. When you train a pitching coach of a professional team, improve its mechanical and therefore the command-control. When you project your skills at five or six years, you find a very good pitcher. "
