NY—Released AA P Jim Pena. Otherwise, GM Vic Stone, who didn’t even look to trade, decides the roster is fine for now and makes no moves. (I run the GM for my club too, just so I don’t have an unfair advantage—and I am stuck with one of the least aggressive GMs in either league) Our pitching keeps us in the race—I just need to stop running so recklessly. I like an aggressive team on the basepaths, but I don’t think we’ve got that kind of talent. Oh well. Scout Stephen Wade thinks Frank Carpin should be back on the roster, but Stone wants Bowman to have more time to show what he can do. I think I might rather have Carpin too, however, my job is to make do with the players Stone gives me. I still think this is winnable for us, IF I can make better decisions on when to send runners. We miss Randy Johnson’s steady bat too.

Right now, as good as our starters are, the back 4 (Morogiello, Terpko, Remmerswaal and Richardson) in the bullpen are all shut down quality. I give Hawk Taylor a shot to win the C job, but I really would like Stone to trade for one (MIN has an extra one available). Until what I’m doing stops working, I’m keeping the same guys out there—just need to be smarter when I run.
