The latest scouting discovery of Boston's lead scout Dave Radovanovic comes from the Dominican Republic. The soon-to-be 17-year old pitcher Lorenzo Campa doesn't appear to have a star-studded future, but there must have been something about him that caused Radovanovic to take a chance. Only time will tell if this was a wise decision.

With the trade deadline less than a month away, teams are starting to make their moves. Here, the Pittsburgh Pirates sent pitcher Deacon Phillippe (season projected 1.6 WAR) and rookie 3rd-baseman Lee Tannehill (#56 ranked prospect) to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for All-Star 3rd-baseman Tommy Leach (season projected 5.4 WAR). It is an interesting trade given that the teams are currently tied in the National League standings; 5 games out of 1st-place.

OmahaBaseball · 12-17-2023, 05:04 PM

Head Scout Dave Radovanovic has filed his player development report. Positive news for Cozy Dolan who received an increase to his eye rating and a significant increase to his speed (this doesn't make sense given that he hardly plays at all). On the negative side of things, Cy Young control rating took a hit. As much as I hate to say it, I think Young is near the finish line of his career and I will look to move him at the trade deadline.

Posts: 3,916	Game 82: Boston Americans vs. Cleveland Naps Untimely errors and the inability to get runners into scoring position resulted in the Cleveland Naps (43-39) topping the Boston Americans (43-39) by a score of 5 to 1. Bill Donovan (10-10) picked up the win, allowing 1 earned run while scattering 10 hits, 1 wild pitch, and 1 hit batsman; Game Score 67. Cy Young (6-13) was smacked for 5 runs (1 earned) on 7 hits, 1 walk, and 1 wild pitch; Game Score 55. With the loss, Young moves into a tie for the most losses in the American League. The Naps were led on offense by Ed Delahanty (2 for 4, Double, RBI), Bill Donovan (1 for 3, Run, RBI), and Harry Wolverton (1 for 4, 2 RBIs), while Boston's help came from Bill Lange (3 for 5, RBI) and Chick Stahl (2 for 4).

Posts: 3,916	Pirates Reach Deal with Cardinals With the trade deadline less than a month away, teams are starting to make their moves. Here, the Pittsburgh Pirates sent pitcher Deacon Phillippe (season projected 1.6 WAR) and rookie 3rd-baseman Lee Tannehill (#56 ranked prospect) to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for All-Star 3rd-baseman Tommy Leach (season projected 5.4 WAR). It is an interesting trade given that the teams are currently tied in the National League standings; 5 games out of 1st-place. Attached Images __________________ Life is Good!

Positive news for Cozy Dolan who received an increase to his eye rating and a significant increase to his speed (this doesn't make sense given that he hardly plays at all). On the negative side of things, Cy Young control rating took a hit. As much as I hate to say it, I think Young is near the finish line of his career and I will look to move him at the trade deadline.
