Around the League:

Ken Minahan, will miss 3 months with an elbow strain. The Iron Pigs will miss their newly aquired set-up man. Ken was 1-2 2.60 in 17 games for the Iron Pigs so far.
Kiyonobu Matsuura of the Annapolis Admirals continued his hit streak, now at 25 games.
Jim Thomas, a part time CF for the Lewes Braves, will miss the rest of the seasn and some. Out 4 months with a ruptured figner tendon. He was hitting .239-1-17 for the Braves.
Lawrence Knickle of the Richmond Cardinals made 22 starts with the Cardinals after herniating his disk during his first star this season, and now he is shut down for 5-6 months with a torn labrum. in 21 starts Knickle was 4-8 5.79. Has the 39 year old seen his last game?
Claude Bond, who is on my radar, will miss 4 weeks, and the beginning of the playoffs, with knee tendonitis. The 3B of the Generals was having a solid sophomore season. .284-6-52

Players of the Week:
Delaware: Pat Jeffries, Georgetown Sixteens, 17-26 0 HR's, 4 RBI's
MarVa: Francisco Reyes, Ocean City Tourists, 12-24 5 HR's 7 RBI's

Power Rankings:
1) Norfolk Cavaliers (148.0)
2) Dover Generals (124.0)
3) Annapolis Admirals (111.5)
4) Milton Brewers (102.3)
5) New Castle Colonials (100.5)

Division Races, well they really aren't "races" this season...
Dover Generals lead the Georgetown Sixteens by 14 games, their magic number is 5
New Castle Colonials hold a 7 game lead over the Milford Clippers in the closet of the races, their magic number is 12.
Annapolis Admirals have a magic number of 7. Their closest rival? The Tourists and Barons at 12 games out. The Barons have never finished greater than 4th. They could be turning the corner.
Norfolk Cavaliers are the only team with their division wrapped up.

GM Notes: Another week closer to the end of the season. I just keep hoping for now major injuries, right now I must have Matos, Contreras and Ramirez healthy at seasons close. With those three guys pitching, I should be set for solid playoff run. Pitching is more important then the offense right now, I believe I have enough bats to handle an injury, but pitching, no way!... King Brock had a great week hitting the ball all over the place, I am glad I decided to give him the shot last season. He should be with us for a long time coming, maybe take over Mauro Candelaria's "face of the franchise" role... Arturo Ramirez had out-pitched my expectations of him this year. I knew he was going to be good, but 20-wins good is rather impressive. It doesn't hurt that he had the leagues best offense and defense behind him, but he made it count. Something others can't seem to do... Next year will be interesting, I think I am sold on moving Roberto Perez, yes the 2x MVP, and Derek Campbell. Together that would be 40+ HR's and 200+ RBI's. Hopefully the "kids" step it up next season... I have to return focus to the team and the final 2 weeks, I will worry about the rest when that time comes. I don't see me being a player in the free-agent market financially so I have time...
