6/5-6/7/70 @ New York

On the morning of June 5, I received word that the Phillies had made a trade with the Senators.

To the Phillies- CF Ed Stroud- His overall scouting rating is 2 1/2 stars. He is 30 years old and makes $60,000 per year. His triple slash is .214/.271/.288 with 10 SBs. He has plus-plus speed and defense in center field.

To the Senators- 1B Deron Johnson- His overall scouting rating is 2 1/2 starts. He is 31 years old and also makes $60,000 per year. His triple slash is .248/.307/.410. He has plus power and can also play left field reasonably well.

Overall, I would have to say that the Phillies were a big winner in this trade. The Senators gained a 1B/LF, but they already had Mike Epstein and Frank Howard at those positions, who are 2 of the top 3 home run hitters in the American League. The Phillies gave up Johnson, who was stuck backing up John Briggs and Greg Luzinski, and they gained a big improvement in CF over 22-year old Willie Montanez, who is a barely above average CF and was only hitting .218 for Philadelphia.

6/5 White Sox 7 Yankees 2
Tommy John gave us 8 strong innings, and every player in the lineup except for John had at least one hit.

6/6 White Sox 2 Yankees 1
Rich Hinton gave us 5 shutout innings before leaving the game after a rain delay. Ossie Blanco hit a 2-run homer for our entire offense. Wilbur Wood pitched innings 6-9 to close it out.

Before game 3, I received a fax from the commissioner's office that included the latest All-Star voting tallies. Ed Herrmann is still in third at catcher, but he trails Cleveland's Ray Fosse by over 42,000 votes.

6/7 White Sox 4 Yankees 2
Ken Frailing had a good start allowing 2 ER in 6 IP. Ossie Blanco was 3/4 with 2 2B to bring his average to an even .300.

We got a sweep!

Elsewhere, Hank Aaron earned his 3,000th hit, with a single against Montreal's Bill Stoneman.

Record: 24-32
