Toronto Pitcher of the Month: RHSP Scott Kazmir 2-2 2.62 26K 3.84FIP 0.6WAR 6GS
Toronto Position Player of the Month: C Devin Mesoraco .329/.391/.494 3HR 10RBI 0.8WAR 24G

Now we are second worst in baseball. Yaay. Carlos Carrasco has been a hot disappointment on top of the rotation and Kyle Davies has cooled off significantly, so our starting pitching took quite a hit… and well, the Mendoza line is still a challenge for three of our hitters. That being said, all hail Devin Mesoraco, batting .302 for the season and hitting bombs. The guy we are most concerned about is 3B Scott Sizemore tho. He was supposed to produce with his bat and not be a too big liability on defence… he is both now.

Around the league, the San Francisco Giants are trucking along with a 20-9 month and Buster Posey batting .354. It is Win Now! for them as the farm is barren but they won it all two years ago and look primed to return to the playoffs. On the other end of the spectrum are the Houston Astros. Being as bad as we are, the only positive ray of light is 2B Jose Altuve(22, 3/5*) playing a breakout year, batting .330-1-12 .798 11/15SB 0.8WAR in 48 games.

Minor League Report and Awards:

Won Awards this month

Our AAA roster is starting to click as Rendon continues to hit with a .364/9-26 1.110OPS 1.7WAR season and Snell(3.41) and Syndergaard(1.91) had good months of May. The scouting reports are still fringe for major league players so there is no reason to rush, but progress is progress.

International Amateur Discovery Additions and Update:
RHSP Carlos Lemus(16, 3*) Stuff 40 Movement 50 Control 80 Fastball 40 Slider 40 Changeup 50 Sinker 45 Splitter 45 Stamina 75 from Cincinnati Reds.
The kid started 2-2 3.16 30K in 25.2IP in the Golf Coast League and is looking good, but has a long way to go if he wants to really finish up his development with a 80 control ceiling.
