Thursday, August 1st, 2120: Shimizu Named Top AL Hurler
Despite the number of years he's been in the league, Sadao Shimizu still gets excited when he puts together a quality stretch like he had in July. The 29-year-old starter for Hartford was named American League Pitcher of the Month earlier today.

He collected 5 wins and no losses with 59 strikeouts in his 6 starts, putting up a fine 2.00 ERA in 45 innings of work.

His record this season is 16-0 in 23 starts and Shimizu has a 1.99 ERA.


Thursday, August 1st, 2120: NL's Best Batter Announced
When guys like New York's Mike Kirby win Batter of the Month awards, it just makes you feel good. In a productive July, the longtime National League veteran toyed with opposing pitchers all month long, collecting 43 hits in 98 at-bats.

The veteran first baseman hit for a .439 batting average and collected 15 home runs, 35 RBIs and 28 runs scored.

So far in 2120, Kirby is batting .388 with 41 home runs and 103 RBIs.


Thursday, August 1st, 2120: Wooten Snares AL Top Batter Award in July
Mike Wooten earned July's Batter of the Month honors in the American League by reeling off a .475 average, going 47 for 99 with 7 home runs, 21 RBIs and 31 runs scored.

The soon-to-be free agent was hitting with great urgency in an effort to bolster his asking price in the Tampa Bay clubhouse and around the rest of the league.

Thus far in 2120 Wooten is batting .400 with 33 home runs, 79 RBIs and 108 runs scored.
