April and May were good but June was great as we went 20-7 and now have a 6 game lead. 1st in runs allowed, tied for the 1st in runs and 3rd in defense. We appear to be very very good.
After trading for him in the off-season, we locked up Alan Trammell for 6-years with a team option that would take him to 33. The 7 years is for a total of $11.2 million, he had taken our defense to another level and while he isn't he hitter he was IRL, he is hitting .286/.345/.407, he is leading the AL in triples and is on pace for 90 RBI and 45 XBH.
We now have Lynn/Horner/Richards and Trammell locked up for 3 more years as a group before Lynn becomes a UFA at age 36.
