Well, Adam Eaton didn't work out. Instead, the Harpooners have now acquired Unsung Hero RF Shane Victorino (79) His hitting will hopefully offer a slight improvement, but his defense is why the team nabbed him. Victorino is a 105 in Right Field, which is a major upgrade from Chuck Klein's 42.
Klein is now moved to DH, thanks to his 73 Contact, 71 Gap Power and 82 HR power. Klein's hitting .285/.348/.582 on the season with 32 HR and 79 RBI so far. He's leading the entire league in HR.
LF Hank Sauer, who had been hitting DH, was dropped to the minors. He has hit just .229/.296/.386 on the season.
Westish has won 4 consecutive and is leading the division by 9 games. They are in the Promotion spot by a half game currently, though manager Henry Skrimshander is more focused on pushing toward the playoffs and finishing the season strongly than moving up to a Silver League this year.
Westish will find out toward the end of the month whether negotiations to bring 1951 SS Al Dark to the team will pay off. Current SS Troy Tulowitzki has great defense, but just isn't hitting the ball well at all. If Dark comes to the team, Tulowitzki will be kept for his D in late-game situations, while Derek Jeter will be dropped.
