Despite being involved in game 163 to determine the wildcard, I remain in silver again this season (only 8 teams promoted this cycle, and the other conference was much stronger).

Currently 4-5. As per last season, the team has started off slow in pretty much every area.

Am trying a new strategy, at least for the first month or so. Leading off with Topsy Hartsel against RHP (he has 93 eye vs RHP). If he doesn't work out (he isn't so far), then I'll go back to 81 contact, 90 avoid K Matty Alou.

Added Jim Abbott to my rotation (replacing Kent Mercker). Abbott threw a shutout his first game, fanning 10, then was brought back to earth his last start, scattering 7 runs over 5 innings while striking out nobody. Grabbed Mark Langston and converted him to a bullpen arm, and decided to give Dan Quisenberry an extended run in the pen (the 64OVR version). 78 movement and 97 control aren't to be sneezed at!

Topsy Hartsel, who is probably going to strike out looking an awful lot...
