Another awful month leaves us way back in the NL Central.

Record: 7-21 (12-38 Total)
Place: 6th
Games Back: 18.5

Hot Players:

Ryan Hanigan: 23 G .316/.383/.416 2 HR 12 RBI: Hanigan came over in a big trade early in April and has been a lone bright spot in our order. Hanigan has been hitting clean-up, but we might move him to the 3-hole and move McCutchen to lead-off.

Joel Hanrahan: 14.0 IP 0-1 0.64 ERA 4 SV: Hanrahan has been lights out coming out of the bullpen, but has not had many opportunities to show himself. Its too bad...

Jason Grilli: 11.0 IP 0-0 0.82 ERA 1 SV: Grilli has been great as a set-up man so far this season. In a best case scenario Grilli will continue this performance and we can stop losing games late.

Cold Players:

Alex Presley: 26 G .187/.250/.286 2 HR 6 RBI: After starting out hot, Presley has taken a turn for the worst. His batting average dropped 114 points from April to May and his slugging percentage was under .300 in May.

Pedro Alvarez: 27 G .188/.261/.338 1 HR 8 RBI: Alvarez pretty much copied his April, the only problem is that his average was under .200. Drastic improvements need to be made in order for him to stay in the majors.

Erik Bedard: 33.2 IP 0-5 5.35 ERA 6 GS: Bedard had another awful month and he has still not won a game. A high ERA and his inability to stay in games has led to an awful season.

Jeff Karstens: 26.1 IP 1-5 6.15 ERA 6 GS: Karstens has had an awful season. AWFUL. He only pitched 26 innings in 6 games. That's about 4 innings a game. The numbers speak for themselves.
