I will confirm that Phil Rizzuto is a beastly 2nd baseman (like 1.1+ EFF seasons on a routine basis).
As for my Sidewinders, the Diamond league debut has been a strange and confusing journey. Despite leading the conference in Defensive efficiency and BABIP, my leading defenders Rizzuto, Vukovich, Maddox and Fernandez are actually struggling in the field, way out of line with their historic production. Our pitching staff has been merely serviceable despite our defensive advantage and the offense has been doing that thing where they don't hit the ball. So the results aren't very encouraging: 32-41 thru 6/21.
All that aside, it could be possible the Sidewinders will have an above .500 month in June, going 11-8 so far, which would be nice and could help keep us treading water above the relegation zone.
