Starters ERA: 4.95(9th)
Bullpen ERA: 3.38(2nd)
Defensive Eff.: .672(11th)

That is more like it but I'm still not happy. We won a lot of 1-run games that also were high scoring... and while that is pretty much a result of being located in Arlington, it still is not the way we want to play.

For the month of June, we will make two changes. Nick Lodolo will make his MLB debut(HYPE!!!) in Seattle on June 3rd and there are tickets available and fan flights can be booked at our ballpark. That leaves us with Crouse(6.69) and Patrick Bailey(.269/.347/.480 7HR 24RBIs 41G) as our last two big arrows to call up... +- Jonathan India(.320/.424/.459 5HR 31RBIs 50G)...

Also, the lineup will change a bit... as we will permanently bench Cole Brennan. He is batting .191 with a -0.4ZR... either your center fielder can hit, or he can field. Albert Almora hit .302 in limited action, and should be the better fielder... he will get the everyday job for now...

And we may have hit the jackpot at second base with Hansel Moreno. He is hitting for a .823OPS and if he gets the batting average up a BIT more, he is an All-Star candidate.

Players to watch apart from Lodolo: Thompson whose FIP is still 2.50 runs lower than his ERA, Keuchel who is dog**** this year and Velazquez who is getting some more AB's in left field... as 'Gold Glover' Billy McKinney statistically is the worst fielder of in our team...

In other news, the draft is coming up and we have the supplemental round pick, #35 overall, and then the last pick in every round... don't expect a big haul.
