Lastly, how is Ken Williams (Browns) doing career wise? I realize he was on an AL team but in your league he may have been traded. Williams was the AL homerun champ in 1922. (39 vs Ruth's 35) He is also probably the best player out there NOT in the HOF which is robbery in my opinion. Thanks.

Jackson sadly is a part time Player for the White Sox this season, he is hitting .234 in 205AB. His skills are diminishing. last season he hit a career Low .290.
Burleigh Grimes is 5-6 for the Cubs with a 4.17 ERA in 15 starts. Waite Hoyt also in that deal is a little used Reliever for them and is now sitting on their reserve. Pat Ragan the third Pitcher in that deal is 3-8 in 14 starts with a 4.93 ERA in 13 starts.
Our end of that deal: Lefty Tyler has been relegated to my Bull Pen this year due to younger Boston Starters but has pitched admirably in 13 outings having a 3.62 ERA in 27.1 IP
One thing to remember is that Hitters are starting to take over the League. The League Ave ERA in the AL right now is 4.36 and in the NL it is 4.11.... a .280 Hitter now a days is weak as the League Averages are .292 and .294 respectively.
Ken Williams is a nobody in this league having hit 1 career Homer in 627 AB and is now 32 yrs old
