DawnBTVS · 04-12-2008, 11:30 AM

I finally get too fed up with Dave Hansen on 7/11 after he refuses to be sent to AAA so I finally ate $8.5 Million and cut him. I called up 23 year old Tim Hummel who was more major league ready. Hansen had a .739 OPS but also had 20 errors and a .916 fielding % in only 77 games.

Towards the end of the month, I also put Carl Everett into CF to help out with the defense there, shifting Pedro Valdes back to RF.

We continue to struggle and closed out July at 11-16.

NL Central Standings
Milwaukee: 56-47
St. Louis: 53-52
New Evil Empire: 49-57
Pittsburgh: 47-57
Cincinnati: 46-57
Chicago: 42-61

The offense has been up and down on the year...
Jay Gibbons: 14 HR and 54 RBI in 416 AB while hitting .243/.300/.397
Carlos Pena: 18 HR and 59 RBI in 403 AB while hitting .275/.354/.481

Tim Hummel: 2 HR and 7 RBI in 54 AB while hitting .222/.276/.370
Colin Long: 1 HR and 32 RBI in 363 AB while hitting .270/.328/.306

The pitching has also struggled with only the following keeping up great numbers...

SS Khalil Greene (AAA): .329/.399/.453 in 161 AB with 4 HR and 15 BB.
LF Jack Cust (AAA): .275/.360/.416 in 291 AB with 9 HR and 38 BB.

The Single A starting core...

Jose Soto: 5.40 ERA in 13.1 IP with 1 K vs. 3 BB.
Bob Bishop: 8.16 ERA in 14.1 IP with 1 K vs. 8 BB.
Dan Gray: 8.27 ERA in 16.1 IP with 6 K vs. 6 BB.

Two other guys hitting well at A...
3B Howard Hancock: .361/.443/.432 in 407 AB with 3 HR and 50 BB.
2B Ted Richardson: .301/.345/.452 in 385 AB with 14 HR and 27 BB.

You can expect to see some contract extensions done in August and September although with my lessons learned, I'll probably try to aim for 1 or 2 year contracts tops.

Next Post (August): Heading towards the home stretch and figuring out who to extend.
