THE WEEK IN REVIEW:
NEXT WEEK: 1 @ Dallas Texans (49-45) 3 vs Washington Jets (36-59) OFF DAY 2 vs Houston Roughriders (52-43)
ABL HAPPENINGS:
7/9:
Atlanta announced the signing of FA SP Jared Over (27 4*) to a 1 year 810K contract. Over was the 22nd overall selection in the 2018 draft by the Lexington Rebels and was unable to find a home in Free Agency this past winter.
7/10:
Melvin Torres (PHI) went 9 and struck out 10 in a 6-hit CG 4-0 win over 1st place San Francisco. In that game Bears 1B Juan Buena was hurt and will miss at least a month. The Bears hold a slim 2 game lead in the PL's California Division.
Toshiaki Otani (LV) tossed a CG 4-hitter for his 6th win (6-7 3.67) in a 7-0 win over the Chicago Hitmen.
7/13:
Justin Watkins (NYP) went 3-4 with 5 RBI's hitting 3 HR's in a 9-6 win over Baltimore.
Steve Tikkanen (LA) continues his “bad” year with a rare win as he goes 9, whiffs 7 and walks 0 in a 5-0 victory over Las Vegas. Tikkanen is 5-12 with a 3.84 ERA. He has not had a .500 season in the past 4 years going 10-13, 12-13, 10-14, and 12-16 but has only had a 4+ ERA 1 time (4.13).
San Antonio acquired 23 year old P Steve Telschow (3.5*) 1B Berhane Rassul (22 1.5*) and 2B Jesse Cain (21 2.5*) for Lexington's Blake Hixson (27 3*)
Ft. Worth's Josh Roth recorded his 400th career save today. He's 77-87 400 SV 3.06 ERA. He is just the 4th pitcher in ABL history to record 400+ saves.
7/14:
Baltimore sent SP Savier Manifold (21 0.5*) to Atlanta for RP Jose Campos (32 2.5*)
RUSTLER NEWS:
7/9:
Alexis Candalaria was taken 81st overall in the 2022 draft. A very good potential middle of the order bat. He's young, just turning 20. That was the only reason he wasn't promoted to AA this winter after a .322-30-85 season at SLC last year. Today he hit 3 HR and drove in 5 and is hitting .301-21-81 in 86 G with a .375 OBP and 64 R. His defensive is woefully inadequate but he's got time.
Drafted in the 25th round OF Mario Quinonez went 13-21 4 2B 3B 2 HR 4 RBI to win POTW in rookie league this week. Quinonez was the 807th and final pick of the draft.
