Goetzman getting settled
“It’s set in” Goetzman said.
Sidelined by a sore groin, Goetzman sat the bench while the Gulf Coast League Rays opened their season with a 4-2 loss to the GCL Red Sox at field No. 5 at Charlotte Sports Park.
Goetzman reported to the GCL Rays on Wednesday after its parent club, the Tampa Bay Rays, took the Palmetto grad during the second round of this month’s amateur baseball draft. He signed with the Rays last Tuesday at Tropicana Field.
“It’s good,” Goetzman said while wearing a blue and white uniform with RAYS sprawled across the front and a blue Rays cap with an interlocking TB stitched on the front.
Goetzman and his teammates are staying in an apartment complex in Englewood, allowing him to get to the park early every day. He’s usually up at 5:30 a.m., leaves the apartment around 6 and gets to the park about 6:15 each day.
“It’s cool,” he said. “I just have to get used to it ... being up early and doing stuff all day.”
Monday, Goetzman took a seat and watched. Midway through the game, he brandished a camera and took video of the Rays’ batters.
A four-year varsity player who batted .413 with eight home runs and 26 RBIs in 25 games this year with the Tigers, Goetzman isn’t used to playing the role of a spectator. But there is no need for him to rush into action after he tweaked his groin during the first day of workouts.
“They’re just easing me back in slowly,” he said. “They do a good job.”
Goetzman plans on getting into a game this week, and he will have plenty of chances to do so. The GCL Rays hit the road today for a rematch with the Red Sox before playing the Twins in a home-and-home series Wednesday and Thursday.
Goetzman will have his closest thing to a homecoming Friday, when the Rays head to Twin Lakes Park in Sarasota to play the GCL Orioles at noon.
It’s all an adjustment for Goetzman, who turns 19 in November and turned down a scholarship at Florida Gulf Coast University to play professional baseball, which has been his dream since he was young.
“It’s different. The guys are good,” he said. “I’m having a good time.”

A Convincing Rush Seat Alternative - The Workbench Diary...
I was recently hired to re-rush a delightful little folding chair. The main issue with rush seating today is that almost everyone that does it only uses what is called "fibre rush". Fibre rush is a twisted paper product. It is extremely uniform in twist and comes in many different colors. It is the opinion of most antiquarians that this product does not belong on genuine antiques, seeing as it is too uniform and not... well... real rush. With these folks I am in hearty agreement. Upon researching available materials, I discovered that no one supplies natural dried cattail for traditional rush seating anymore. I was told to buy rubber waders and crawl into the swamp myself. But... before I went that far, I found an alternative: pre-twisted seagrass. This seagrass is compellingly similar to the old cattail seats. (Naturally, since both are seagrasses) It comes pre-twisted onto two and a quarter pound coils. In a conversation with Mike Frank from Frank's Caning, he highly recommended this product to me. Intrigued, I ordered some.
