As July wraps up and we move into August, Ghost Hill finds themselves still stuck in neutral. An unimpressive 12-14 record for the month leaves them mired in the lower part of the league. The starting pitching still remains a relative bright spot, with an ERA that still ranks 4th among all teams. Mark Bellhorn and Francisco Mejia continue to set the pace on the offensive side (Bellhorn with 22 homers, 73 RBI to lead the team, and a 3.0 WAR; Mejia with a .344 avg and a 3.5 WAR to lead the team in both categories).
Even with the mediocre play, Ghost Hill managed to gather enough points to afford another set of mystery players. Management crossed their fingers that they would get some offensive help to support their quality starting pitching; and they were rewarded with.... Wade Boggs (86). They also received a small improvement in the bullpen with Anthony Swarzak (62); and Matty Alou (64) for a solid backup in CF.
