Transactions:
June 10th – Our first round pick, SP Matthew Allan, and our fifth round pick, Gunnar Halter signed today. Halter will get converted to a shortstop where Bobby thinks he is a 3* potential player.

June 11th – Our second rounder, C CJ Rodriguez, and our third rounder, CF Tyler Williams have signed.

June 11th – RHSP Tom Eshelman(24, 2*) had to leave today's game, a 5-3 win in Boston, with hand soreness. He will be placed on the 10-day DL for precaution, and Albert Abreu(23, 1.5/3*) will get a couple of starts.

June 13th – RHRP Tony Zych(28, 2.5/3*) had to be placed on the 10-day DL as he is suffering from some back stiffness. The 28-year old is 2-1 1SV 2.49ERA in 47IP with 52 strikeouts this season. RHRP Gerson Moreno(23, 2/3.5*) was recalled from AAA to take his place. Moreno was acquired from LAD last winter and is 1-4 7SV 4.03ERA 29K in 22.1IP with Round Rock.

June 14th – Our fourth-round pick, CF Hunter Bishop, has signed.

June 15th – It's a clean sweep. Supplemental round pick SP Justin Campbell joined our organization today.

June 17th – We ended some trade talks with the White Sox today. The deal would've sent Tyler Wagner and a minor prospect over for Carson Fulmer, but the Sox kept on asking for more.

June 22nd – RHSP Albert Abreu was sent back down to AAA as Tom Eshelman is back healthy. Abreu did not impress this time as he was lit by Boston for 8ER, and for 16ER in three starts in total...

Well, well, a decent month, and we actually were in fourth in the division for a couple of days this month. On the other hand, our very handsome owner gave me a little review of the season... and he was unhappy with our record, our first baseman, and the fact that we let Beltre go, and not quite happy with our defensive efficiency and our attendance... I'm doing the best I can.

Our starting pitching let us down a bit this month... and for the whole year, but we will have to roll with most of those guys. Wagner may go via trade, Blackburn may go via trade and we bring in Abreu, Jurado or a trade acquisition in...

As for the position players... we are a bit too stacked on left-handed position players, and we need to upgrade our defense. I'm very tempted to move Rougned Odor. His defense at second is below average at age 25, and while he is hitting very fine, in a hitting friendly environment like Arlington, we may want to shake things up here... and we need to give something to get something... right?

Another trade candidate, obviously, Matt Wieters if we can get anything for him.

A little move that will impact fielding... Mazara will move to DH against RHP and Williams will move into right... Nomar's fielding has been pretty horrible so far... and maybe Justin can do better... our corner outfield is a mess right now, and we are playing in a flyball park... Moving around guys and bringing the defense together will require some work and some trading over the next 6-9 months...

Positive: Hitting has been pretty good. Willie Calhoun has swung a hot .337-5-28 .935OPS bat in June, Williams .369-2-9 .923OPS and Mazara hit .365-6-14 1.055OPS. Joey Gallo is second in the AL with 30 home runs, Royce Lewis is second in stolen bases with 25, and our center fielder Julio Pablo Martinez leads the AL in triples with 10.

Another problem: Tony Zych is still laboring through his back soreness and his replacement Gerson Moreno has an ERA of 27.00 through 5.1 horrible innings... another broken prospect dream? Oh, and both our lefty middle relievers have an ERA over 5...
