ABL HAPPENINGS:
6/20:- Dallas 1B Pat Sullivan will miss 4-5 weeks with an abdominal strain.
6/21:- Eric Arnold (BAL) threw a 1-hitter struck out 6 and walked 1 in a 3-0 win over Ohio to move to 7-5 3.11
6/23:- Pittsburgh RF Pat Baker will miss 2-3 weeks with a rib cage strain.
6/25:- Montreal traded SP Mike Boston (0-4 3.59) to Charlotte for 1B Mike Perozzi (3*) OF Josh Molan (3*) RP Roland Morey (2.5*) and OF Chad Coon (2.5*). Boston is in the final year of his contract and has expressed a desire to test the market.
RUSTLER NEWS: - Tommy Dziedzic went down with a knee issue. He has tendinitis and it's re-occurring. He'll go on the DL for 2 weeks and we'll assess at that point. Top OF prospect Brad Hathaway will be recalled.
- First time in over a year we have not been in 1st place. The team is playing as bad as a team with this size payroll can play. There are no magic fixes, and certainly not time to panic and make a move for the sake of making one. This comes down to trusting the talent in place to correct itself. I'm expecting a monster 2nd half.
