Okay, 15 of 30 ballgames are played, and things went really unlucky so far. Many close Ls 9-8, 7-6 a.s.o. have sent us to 3rd position in the NL:

Levi is getting his job done again, the other positive surprise so far is the new SP Candy Cummings, who did much better in his first season than I had feared. Many others didn't perform so far, so I made a few roster adjustment in the mid-season:

I realized Dick Higham was able to play on the catcher position. After loads and loads of passed balls and wild pitches caused by Fergy Malone, I decided to give it a try. His now vacant 2B position was taken by former SS Santiago Uribe, while Dickie Flowers will get some games as SS now. CF Steve Bellan returned from AAA after an early season injury of Fred Treacey and will stay in the roster as a backup now that Fred is back again. The final change is AAA rookie LF Josh Brech, who can also play 3B if needed and who replaces Dustin Birchfield, whose rating continued to decline. As all of my LFs failed miserably so far, I decided to give the youngster a try and so far he did quite okay.

I'm not too pessimistic so far, despite the lousy record of 6-9 because as I said, many losses were close losses, mainly caused by fielder errors. If my baby-pitcher keeps up his good work and those 50-50 games start to drop for my team, this can still become a somewhat successful season.
