Turkey Stearnes is now a member of the International League. Crazy thing is, he wasn't selected in the first round and almost wasn't picked in the 2nd round. His falling allowed for him to be selected by the Great Lakes Loons. The Loons were good enough last season to make the post season. Christmas came early in Saginaw.
The Loons year in an year out blow away the competition in the Home Run department. Would have to check for exact number, but I think they hit 250+ home runs as a team last year. I have to think adding Stearnes won't hurt their power numbers in any way.
It's roughly May 18th and Turkey already has 11 home runs Including Stearnes, the Loons already have 3 players with double digit home runs.
Al Simmons also joined the league for the 1987 season.
Ted Trent is now number 3 on the all time wins list, passing Rick Reuschel. Greg Maddux is not far behind Trent, but has started the 87 season in a slump.
