At the August 11 meeting of the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville the speaker for the day was North Johnson, the General Manager of the Gwinnett Braves.  He first characterized the club as a AAA affiliate of the Atlanta Braves with players usually in the range of ages 24-30 with three or so years of experience.  AAA is the last stop before the majors, and the main purpose of the Gwinnett club is to prepare players to move up to the major league team.  Because good players are constantly being called up for needed positions, he characterized the team as always being in flux.  He stressed that fans should always pay attention to the individual players because they constantly move on to become major players.  He offered Kris Medlen, Julio Tehran, Freddie Freeman, Jason Heywood, and Mike Minor as examples.  He praised current Manager Brian Snitken, who brings major league experience to the team. He had a chart which characterized the fan base by age, gender, education, and race and showed a slide listing the Field Events in this last season.
