I've played through 115 before posting, sorry about that, if anyone is still checking this thread out.
We are 61-54, 5 games out of 1st and 4 back of the wild card. We've had a few moderate injuries, we are currently without RF Geronimo Berroa. He's been out 2 weeks and will be out another 3 or so. Shane Halter has been out 2 weeks and has another month to go, but our pitching is healthy.
Our bullpen is 1st in the league in ERA, but our starters have let us down. They are just 12 in the league. We've dealt 2 of the starters we had in the rotation at the start of the year, so our rotation has undergone lots of changes. We dealt Dave Otto (3-9 5.14 ERA) for pitcher Bill Long and Long has done well in the rotation after a few games in the bullpen, so that has been a positive.
We also dealt Will Cunane (4-4 5.72 ERA) for Jon Lieber who had been up and down with the Phillies, but he has also pitched well for us in the rotation, so both of those moves have paid off
We also traded fan favorite, but very overpaid and very underperforming Mike Bordick to Texas for starter Kenneth Pellien and 2b Michael Carlson. Pellien has averaged 12 wins a season and while Carlson isn't a good hitter for average, he walks more than anyone we have and has some power.
Jon Barnes 14-6 2.72 ERA
Bill Long 2-1 2.83 ERA in 4 starts
Pellien 2-3 3.86 ERA in 5 starts
Leiber 5-1 4.16 ERA in 10 starts
Chris Hammond 5-10 5.11 ERA
Tim Cain 6-3 21 saves 2.08 ERA
Jeff Neely 1-0 1.35 ERA 20 innings
Stanley Zaltzman 7-1 1.50 ERA 42 innings
Dave Wyatt 2-0 1.93 ERA 37 innings
Mike Henneman 2-4 3.16 ERA 42 innings
Jimmy Meadows 4-9 5.75 ERA in 19 starts before moving to the bullpen where he hasn't allowed a run yet in 5 appearances
