Hitting Notes

Ian Auld hitting at a .387/.423/..550 clip, with an OPS+ of 158.
Pete Grier continues to lead the team in Home Runs and RBI with 13 and 52.
Dan Musgrave has 18 stolen bases, and Mario Mora has 17.

Pitching Notes

Jose Amador has pitched well in replacement of Wally Christensen thus far in his 2 starts.
Leon Williams has also pitched well since his call-up from AAA to replace Lee Lewis in the bullpen.
Theodore Walden has a -0.1 WAR, and has struggled still. Because the team is doing so well overall, we can afford to be a little patient, but in the next couple weeks we may have to make a move. We could probably afford to go down to a 10 man staff too, but we shall see.
Bob Figiel picked up his first loss of the season May 30th against Minnesota. He is currently 7-1 with a 3.53 ERA.
