WEEK 4 con’t

OFF DAY NEWS
Potts name went out and Chris Davis of Alaska came back with an offer I couldn’t refuse. 26 year old switch hitting utility man Angel Lopez. He plays to a gold glove level of defense at 4 positions (2B, 3B, SS and RF, though not a great OF arm) and can play an emergency CF. He runs extremely well and he hits from both sides (though better LH). I’m looking for the trap door on this one, or are they that in need of an arm? I am asking for cash in the deal as well, and trying to get a 2nd pick where right now I don’t have one, giving them a later rounder. He’s thinking on it.

Bakersfield righty Pedro Gutierrez tossed a 4 hitter today vs Bonadell Ranchos-Madera Ranchos Ocelots (yes put this note in here just to type that team name, how would one go about starting a cheer for them?). He is 1-1 3.48 in 7 games this year.

GAME 25
I’m finding a deep seated dislike for a virtual team even named the Yankees…. I am making this my official non division rival…
Thumping them feels virtually good too! Though when your offense drops 16 runs on 19 hits and your starter can’t get the win, there’s a problem. Jeff Bentley was horrific, trying to give it back with a 4.1-10-7-7-4-3 nightmare. The pen did a good job of not letting it get crazy. Potts (hopefully soon to be an Alaskan Ace) won it with 1/3rd of an inning in relief. Hugh Collins went 2-4 with his 10th HR and 4 RBI’s, Paul Riggs had a huge day, going 3-5 with 4 runs and 6 RBI’s on 2 doubles. Hitters 1-8 had 2 hits or more, each. Gutierrez went 3-6 with an RBI. Eric Hudson was the spoiler in the 9 hole going 1-4 with 2 runs and an RBI. Barbour hit 2 doubles and stole his 6th.

CHI 16 SI 8 (18-7 +3)

STUFF
Bartolo Serrano (DAY) 2 years removed from his 20-8 3.76 season is working his way back. The 34 year old 5 hit Edmonton today to move to 2-2 4.34 on the year. He missed much of last year with a rotator injury.

Mike Harris, the 40 year old 2B for Buffalo drilled 5 hits in a 12-5 drubbing of the Knights. He’s hitting 337-3-13 on the year.

TRADE NEWS
The deal is done. Utility man Angel Lopez becomes an Iron Pig and original Chicago man Riley Potts is headed to the great white north. We also managed to get 800K in the deal, but no pick. Enrique Franco was optioned out, Lopez will join us in Chicago, and 25 year old RH MR Ed Thomas was put onto the 40 man roster and called up from Tulsa. Thomas went 2-3 with 8 saves 5.96 in Tulsa last year and was 1-1 4.38 this year. He’ll get some middle innings in to get his feet wet. Fwiw, Alaska inserted Potts as their Closer…. Things are not looking good in Alaska. Oh and they have Alex Rodriguez playing SS, and Arturo Rodriguez playing 3rd right now (Glaus is hurt). Zito is 2-3 with an 8.

INJURY NEWS
Edmonton’s Tim Davis had another setback. He was hurt mid April, and is no on his 2nd setback from a concussion. He appeared to be breaking out after his 37HR 118 RBI season last year but many are worried that he may not get back on the field.

GAME 26
An ugly start from Alejandrez 4-8-5-5-2-3 with 3 HR’s. But we battled and retook the lead only to let it slip away on a Wes Morgan 9th inning error. Van Bodgraven (1-1) took the loss after walking 2 of the 4 hitters he faced. Jorge Sanchez had another dominant stint, going 3 hitless with 3 K’s. Alexander is hopefully heating up, going 2-4 with a run, 2 RBI’s and 2 doubles. Eric Hudson hit a 3 run HR (3) and Hugh Collins had 2 hits and a run.
SI 7 CHI 6 (18-8 +2)

WEEK 4 RECAP
Chicago’s own Hugh Collins took home the FL PotW award with his 11-23 5 HR 17 RBI week. On the season he’s hitting .348-10-25.

Dave Ladd of the reigning world champion Patriots took hom CL PotW honors after his 11-20 4 HR 12 RBI week upped his season totals to .337-6-23.
