Trudy has cleared SS Frank Roadman (29-R) to play and we definitely want him back because he is the only player we have under contract who is competent at playing shortstop, other than Bart Daw. But I do not want to send Junior Danielson or Leander Gooding to Daytona (A). So we will activate Roadman after today's game and then send P Danny Coreano down.

Memphis Mules (59-66 .472 27 GB in 6th place in the Southern Division) at
Jacksonville Jays (86-39 .688 14 GA in 1st place in the Southern Division)

MEM: Charlie Foltz (30-R) (7-11 3.74 ERA 175.2 IP, 168 H, 15 HR, 56 BB, 127 SO) All-Star(01)
JAX: Danny Coreano (25-L) (2-1 5.66 ERA 41.1 IP, 57 H, 4 HR, 15 BB, 22 SO)

We have faced Foltz twice this season and whacked him around pretty well both times, but could not manage to pin a loss on him. We won one of the games and lost the other. 7.04 ERA, 7.2 IP, 12 H, 2 HR, 1 BB, 10 SO.

Coreano, who was 8-6 with a 3.53 ERA in 19 starts last year, has not pitched for the Jays since May 16. He has been lit up in A Ball since being demoted and is 2-6 with a 7.83 ERA for Daytona (A) in 10 starts.
