GM Diary
We were very close to a 3 game winning streak to end the week, but couldn't close the deal in the second game against Boston. A red flag.. our fan interest dropped by 2, which means I better figure out a way to turn it around soon. Wichita is a passionate baseball city. As far as the week goes, Bill Walton has had 2 good starts in a row, hopefully that will lead to a nice streak. Charlie Morton ended his rehab assignment down in Fremont, I've brought him up to the big club. He can't be any worse than any of the other starters. Micah Owings was sent down to Fremont with his 7+ ERA. I've decided to hang on to Vernon Wells unless somebody comes up with a really good trade. He gives the locker room veteran leadership which we badly need.
All-star voting is set to conclude next week, and if we have any all-stars I'd be shocked. Fremont is still tearing it up in AAA, but that's more a fact that no other team in their division has anybody with a lot of potential. It's obvious we don't have much in our minor league system because it was rated 31st out of 32. Of course that's going to change in the draft, as we should have the #1 pick.
