P Manny Martinez (30-R) is eligible to come off the DL and we have sent him to Daytona (A) with strict instructions that he is not to pitch! If we do not get a good offer for him by the Trade deadline (in less than 3 weeks), then I guess we will let him pitch until his arm falls off...

We are in Providence to play a 4 game series. The Steamrollers just lost 3 of 4 here to Richmond. They are the last team left that we have never beaten. We were 0-8 against them last season. They are tied for 3rd in scoring with 4.54 runs per game (Jacksonville is up to #13 with 3.74!). They are last in the League in stolen bases (16) and we are 2nd (55). Birmingham leads with 61. The Steamrollers are 6th in fewest runs allowed with 3.98 per game (Jacksonville is #11 with 4.16). Their run differential is +28, 2nd best in the League behind Charlotte (+39) and ours is -21, 3rd worst.

Jacksonville Jays (21-29 .420 10 GB in 6th place in the Southern Division) at
Providence Steamrollers (27-23 .540 1 GB in 3rd place in the Northern Division)

JAX: Danny Coreano (23-L) (1-6 4.70 ERA 51.2 IP, 64 H, 3 HR, 16 BB, 24 SO) Rookie vs.
PROV: Jim Riggs (32-R) (5-4 2.11 ERA 76.2 IP, 62 H, 7 HR, 16 BB, 53 SO) Hurler/All-Star

Coreano's ERA was under 3 until his last 2 starts, both of which were utter disasters. He gave up 6 runs on 6 hits and 1 walk with 1 strikeout in 3 innings last time out in a no decision that we won.

Riggs is 5th in the League in ERA. Last year, he was 17-9 with a 2.39 ERA in a League leading 255.2 IP. He won the Hurler Trophy and was 2nd in the Ace Award voting and led the League in shutouts with 6. He was 1-0 with a CG in 2 starts against us with a 1.69 ERA. 16 IP, 12 H, 0 HR, 0 BB, 11 SO.
