We keep moving players around between our teams, but I'm sitting still. My average has dropped to a realistic .357, but I've climbed to 16th in the Prospect Ranking. With the exception of Anaheim's Steve Breton (drafted out of high school in 2001) and Lucio Rosado (1st overall pick by Milwaukee in 2002), everyone else ahead of me on this Prospect Ranking is in the majors.
My workouts are feeling a little less exhausting. Either I'm not working as hard, or I'm getting more comfortable. I hope it's the latter.

Our team is doing well (13-5) -- and the parent organization isn't half-bad (10-8). We lost another roommate -- Ramon Corpuz went to Kingston this morning. Toombs is doing well -- 2.79 ERA in five relief appearances. My average has fallen off to .286. After starting off the season so hot, I've cooled off dramatically. Otter has stopped drinking, but it hasn't helped -- he's 2-19 this season for a dismal .105 average.
Slight drop to 17th in the Prospect Ratings.

I can't believe what a dork I am. I saw Steve Kuffrey in the bar. I dropped about $100 on drinks with him. He kept talking about programming -- I know nothing on the subject. I tried to turn conversations to baseball, but to no avail. He left without saying a word about the game. I wonder if he comes here a lot...

I couldn't get it off my mind. The day was a wash. 0-6 with three Ks. This week is not going well for me...
