Didn't AJ play a year here?

For now, his boys have adjusted to life in the Minors well enough on their own. A.J. has a .261 average in 36 games with the Class A Palm Beach Cardinals while Scott has a .274 average in 36 games with the Loons. Van Slyke told his sons to be patient. Even though Van Slyke spent just 3 1/2 years in the Minors, he said a part of him wished he could have spent more time developing his game at the lower levels.

Yeah, he was on the team that played down here at Rice a few years back. He transferred to Kansas if memory serves me correct (and often it doesn't).

AJ actually was in my dorm for a little while. He was great friends with Mike Just and Phil Laurent
