7/1/1947 - Another strong month
With a 17-8 month the White Sox continue to roll along. We've opened up a 7 game lead over Detroit and as a team we're pitching really well.
I've spent a lot of time looking over our catching options. While we are playing good, we don't have a lot of depth beyond who's contributing right now. I could trade a starting pitcher, and if we didn't have any injuries we'd be ok, but I'm not willing to do that right now, at least with the team playing this well.
So we'll continue to monitor things and my goal is to make a trade by the deadline. Playing well has at least afforded us that luxury of not having to rush to make a move, and given Brumley to get his act together, which he hasn't.
Two of my former pitchers made the news this month -
CC Sabathia pitched a no-hitter for Detroit, while Curt Schilling won his 200th game for the Pirates.
Todd Hollandsworth won his third straight Rookie of the Month, hitting .290 with 2 home runs and 16 RBI.
