	Tour for the Cure
		Steve happens to be the youngest GM I have come across yet, so for all those kids who want to be a general manager of a baseball team by the time you are in your mid-twenties, it seems like the best place to become one is in the Appalachian League.
		The Kingsport Mets and the Greeneville Astros are the first of several teams the Tour will come across in the Appalachian League, which is Rookie-level baseball located mostly in a region where Tennessee, Virgina, and West Virgina all come together.
		Unlike most other ballparks in the Appalachian League, Pioneer Park has a more modern and well-designed feel to it—having been built in 2004, it holds over 4,000 total fans.

		I've been writing for clients like Appalachian State for years, and this is precisely the kind of sickening stuff produced by groupthink -- committees of administrators who know nothing about marketing, or their market.

		POSITION PLAYER: Bluefield's Rene Aqueron is too old for the league at age 23, but for purposes of "Position Player of the Year" that's not totally relevant, since this is to recognize pure performance more than prospect status.
		And Aqueron's performance was unassailable: he led the league by hitting.405 in 56 games, led the league with a.468 OBP, and was third in slugging at.583.
		STARTING PITCHER: Elizabethton's Adam Hawes led the league with a 1.53 ERA, went 4-0 in nine starts, and posted a strong 68/16 K/BB in 59 innings, allowing only 38 hits.

		While Danville and Elizabethton again dominated the Rookie-level Appalachian League and met in a rematch of last year's championship series, a pair of lefthanded-hitting high school sluggers taken in the top half of the 2006 draft made the strongest impression.
		In all, clubs sent six players drafted in the top three rounds to the Appalachian League, with Bluefield second baseman Ryan Adams (Orioles, second round) and Danville shortstop Chase Fontaine (Braves, second) rounding out that group.
		Elizabethton closer Danny Hernandez had one of the best arms in the league, reaching 96 mph with his fastball, and greatly improved his command this season.
