Wrapping up May

We struggled a bit in May as well, finishing at 11-17.

NL Central Standings
New Evil Empire: 32-23
Milwaukee: 28-27
St. Louis: 29-28
Cincinnati: 26-31
Chicago Cubs: 23-33
Pittsburgh: 23-33

Here are the productive hitters for us...
Carlos Pena: .303/.366/.537 in 231 AB with 11 HR, 27 RBI, and 22 BB.
Tino Martinez: .249/.333/.512 in 217 AB with 16 HR, 47 RBI, and 28 BB. He is quickly becoming this year's Jose Canseco but he's signed through the next 2 years after 2001 with a team option for year #2.
Pedro Valdes: .298/.389/.433 in 203 AB with 5 HR, 22 RBI, and 22 BB.
Mel Rosario: .237/.339/.437 in 190 AB with 8 HR, 19 RBI, and 28 BB.

The productive pitchers...
Scott Stewart: 1.06 ERA in 17.0 IP with 10 K vs. 3 BB. He had a 0.71 ERA in May with 6 K vs. 3 BB in 12.2 IP.
Roy Oswalt: 6-5 with a 1.77 ERA in 91.2 IP with 92 K vs. 14 BB.
Jose Antonio Nunez: 4 S with a 3.13 ERA in 31.2 IP with 37 K vs. 8 BB. He had a 0.98 ERA in May with 21 K vs. 0 BB in 18.1 IP. That's just sick!
Gio Gonzalez: 5-4 with a 3.86 ERA in 79.1 IP with 40 K vs. 26 BB.
Scott Karl: 4-4 with a 4.39 ERA in 84.0 IP with 50 K vs. 17 BB.
Josh Fogg: 3-6 with a 4.80 ERA in 65.2 IP with 57 K vs. 27 BB.

Minor league spotlight
Jake St. John: 2-5 with a 3.81 ERA in 78.0 IP with 69 K vs. 46 BB.
Francisco Espinoza: 10 S with a 3.26 ERA in 19.1 IP with 24 K vs. 6 BB.
Sun-Woo Kim: 6-2 with a 3.51 ERA in 41.0 IP with 41 K vs. 6 BB.
Don Strawn: 2.81 ERA in 16.0 IP with 16 K vs. 4 BB.
Daniel Markham: .283/.391/.498 in 219 AB with 12 HR and 32 BB.
Andrew Bater: .365/.418/.502 in 203 AB with 5 HR and 20 BB.
Jack Cust: .324/.424/.529 in 170 AB with 6 HR and 30 BB.
Cory Aldridge: .340/.382/.495 in 103 AB with 4 HR and 7 BB.

Some changes made for the June month... I called up Sun-Woo Kim and Francisco Espinoza for their sheer dominance down at AAA. I designated Ryan Karp for waivers and assignment to AAA as well as Terry Adams who had a 5.25 ERA in 24.0 IP with 12 K vs. 12 BB.

I now have 4 left handed relievers in my bullpen which I didn't realize until now. Guess I won't need to worry about throwing in a lefty against a lefty, huh?

College/High School Feeder League studs for the draft with their current stats.

MR Jorge Reyes: 8 S with a 5.44 ERA in 48.0 IP with 71 K vs. 29 BB.
MR Jesus "Crow" Gonzalez: 7 S with a 4.78 ERA in 26.1 IP with 34 K vs. 6 BB.
SP Jesus Soriano: 7-3 with a 4.54 ERA in 73.1 IP with 89 K vs. 17 BB.
SP Jonathan Davis: 8-2 with a 3.56 ERA in 86.0 IP with 79 K vs. 32 BB.
MR Bartolo Baron: 9 S with a 1.89 ERA in 38.0 IP with 42 K vs. 8 BB.
SP Fernando Cruz: 6-3 with a 4.07 ERA in 66.1 IP with 61 K vs. 24 BB.

3B Jose Hernandez: .309/.459/.573 in 110 AB with 5 HR and 28 BB.
C Rickie Wallace: .392/.502/.657 in 181 AB with 14 HR and 38 BB.
C Lou Jacobs: .423/.519/.735 in 189 AB with 10 HR and 40 BB.
2B Juan Perez: .395/.500/.722 in 162 AB with 13 HR and 29 BB.
1B Nate McEnerney: .354/.490/.646 in 189 AB with 12 HR and 50 BB.

I was looking and so far only the high school league is feeding players but I assume that the college guys aren't coming up due to the real life players. Grr...

I'll do an experiment and look for Garland "Shooter" Murphy the day after the draft is complete. He's currently in college and has played there for 4 years (age 23) and frankly, has sick potential. He's evidently not draftable at the moment but might become a free agent(?) after the draft. Or just disappear...

He currently has 22 HR in 182 AB with 33 BB. The 3 years before he's combined for 44 HR and 96 BB in 450 AB.
