ABL HAPPENINGS:
7/11:

Aaron Chisholm beat Brooklyn's Ben Davis 21-10 in the final round to take home the 2016 HR Derby title. Chisholm is hitting .285-23-54 at the break.

7/14:

Montreal, still a game out, managed to deal for 29-year-old SP Justin Wilson by sending Philadelphia 2 minor league prospects. He's 5-11 5.36 (3 days later he went 8 giving up 1 ER for a win in his 1st start).

7/15:

Dallas signed RP Ben Ehlers to a 1 year 650K deal. While they are trailing Austin by 15 in the Sam Houston they are the Wild Card leaders by 3.5 over New England and currently have 5 pitchers on the DL with 3 likely out for the year.
Brendon Biernacki (BUF) followed up his 18 K 1-0 loss to Cameron Mears by fanning 12 and going the distance in a 3-0 win. He allowed 7 hits and walked two and upped his K total to 241. He's 11-6 2.75.
Jonathan Powell (LA) tossed a 2-hitter and beat San Francisco 4-0.

7/16:

Montreal's Dennis Russell fanned 15 in a 2-hit CG SHO of Detroit as the Paragons won 8-0.

7/16:

Green Bay claimed 4x World Champion, 3x Gold glove winner, and every day 2B/SS Dylan Rucker off waivers from the Lexington Rebels. Lexington placed Rucker on waivers to make room for SS Ben Gallo, whom they recalled immediately after acquiring him from Austin, and Green Bay pounced. Rucker has spent his career in Lexington hitting .247/.309/.408 with 102 HR and 144 2B in 807 games. He's 157-195 in SB as well. He brings a winning veteran presence to a team rebuilding.
Apparently, the Rebels will ease Gallo into their lineup but he did serve notice the same day by homering on the 1st pitch he saw as a Rebel.

RUSTLER NEWS:
7/14:

2nd rounder (64th overall) Tim Bingham struck out 4 in a CG 4-hit SHO for Ft Wayne

AUSTIN, LEXINGTON TRADE TOP PROSPECTS
The Austin Rustlers have sent SS Ben Gallo to the Lexington Rebels for SS Mike Davis in a straight 1-1 trade. Both players are ranked, Gallo is the league's 15th rated prospect but was having an abysmal year at AAA Warren (.197/.259/.359 in 243 PA) then hit just .118/.115/.275 after a demotion to AA.
Davis, the game's #2 ranked prospect, was also struggling at AA Keystone (.188/.320/.334 in 346 PA) before the deal.
Gallo was immediately recalled by the Rebels where he hit an HR on the 1st pitch he saw as a PH in the 7th inning. Davis was sent to AA Modesto and was 3-10 with an HR in his first 3 games.

BACKROOM CHATTER
Gallo was absolutely horrid this year. He is going to be a low avg guy anyway, but what he was doing didn't even qualify as “Mendoza” like. I had to sell given the offers after shopping and I jumped all over Davis in the return. Joe Tighe is signed and his GG ability at 2B, 3B, and SS gives me freedom when the prospects develop. With Sam Reyes's health issues and impending FA it's likely I now let him walk and take the compensation pick and depending on Luis Orozco and his opt-out I could have an IF of Feliciano at 3B, Davis at SS with Tighe at 2B opening day next year.

7/16:
RUSTLERS, ADRIAN, AGREE ON EXTENSION
The Austin Rustlers have announced the signing of 2015 CL MVP Andy Adrian to a 7 year 94 million dollar contract extension. The 24-year-old will make 12 million in base salary through 2019 and 13 million with an opt-out after the 2020 season. He will then make 15 million per season through 2023.
The contract includes a no-trade clause, a 750K MVP bonus as well as a 100K all-star bonus for all 7 years.

BACKROOM CHATTER
Probably the best all-around player in the game. Legit 40 HR 75 SB talent with Gold Glove defensive ability. He will say what needs to be said in the clubhouse and he's a leader. He's just 24 years old and this will likely NOT be the last huge deal he gets.
In 464 career games (421 GS) he's got a slash line of .334/.386/.565 with 120 2B 26 3B 79 HR 323 RBI and is 171-205 SB with just 175 K's to 124 BB. He led the league in runs last year (119) and 2B (48) as well as slugging .578 and WAR 9.2. He had 201 hits as well. He's on pace to blow by some of those numbers and if the season ended today he's likely a back-to-back Babe Ruth Award winner. His arbitration number was high 10s, but no need to gamble with a talent like this. He's locked in and creates one more solid piece to a core that will contend for the next 5-10 years. Fan reaction was obviously through the roof.

PATRIOT LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Arthur Vaughn RF (SD) 8-13 HR 7 RBI
COLONIAL LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Dave Nolasco RF (AUS) 8-14 2 HR 4 RBI
