Hey, no problem. I'm glad the interest is out there.

Late season note: Tom Paciorek got hurt in late July (tore calf I believe) forcing Dwight Evans to get extended time. Frank Ortenzio continues to steal time from Willie McCovey, who should hang them up after this season. Jimmie Hall returned to the big as the platoon DH with Marvin Lane, and Mark Lemongello continues to impress as a rookie injury replacement. I likely will finish the 1976 season tomorrow and slide right in to the 1977 expansion.

BTW, once again Detroit's nucleus is scheduled to stay intact, with the likely exceptions of McCovey (FA) and Hall (retirement). #2 starter Gary Nolan, plagued by injuries in the last couple of seasons, may also be allowed to walk away, with Lemongello, former staff member Doyle Alexander, and Mike Pazik in AAA.
