4/26/74
Ted Sizemore came by my office today to sign his contract extension. The offer matches his request for $225,600 over the next three years.

5/1/74
Joe Lahoud was named batter of the month for the AL, getting 35 hits in 86 at bats. A .407 average is certainly something to be proud of. He had 14 rbi and also scored 15 runs. A career month for the young man. I'll have a tough decision to not renew his contract if he continues to play anywhere near this level. Of course, if he keeps it up, it's a no-brainer.

We finish the month 17-6 and hold a four game lead over the Sox in the West. The Royals are also tied with Chicago four back. Highlights of the month were Lahoud's performance, winning player of the month and player of the week once. In addition to earlier pitching performances, Frank Tanana threw a four-hit shutout against the Red Sox on the 29th, allowing only one walk. Singer and Ryan both have four wins. Tanana and May have three apiece. J.R. Richard is 2-2 with a 2.79 ERA, highest on the starting staff. Quintana finished the month with 9 saves and a 1.69 ERA. I'm really liking the moxie of this young kid. Brett is hitting .299 with 6 RBI since coming over and getting his first action. Lahoud continues to pace the team with 6 homers and 14 RBI. Chalk has responded to the position change with his usual professionalism. He's batting .303 with 2 home runs and 11 RBI while Bobby Valentine is at .241 with 10 RBI and one homer. Paying more attention to the AL, Lahoud is leading all batting categories and is one behind Rod Carew in hits with 35. Mike Hegan of the Yankees is the power source in the AL thusfar with 8 home runs and 22 RBIs. Ryan and Singer are both top five in ERA and tied for first in wins. Quintana leads the league in saves, two in front of the Indians Tom Hilgendorf. Tanana leads the league in hits allowed per nine innings, only giving up 5.26 per game. Ryan leads the AL with 45 K's and also 19 walks. Overall on the AL pitchers board, there is a lot of California names showing up as leaders. I like that very much.
