July 2012 - Winnipeg Bisons
Manager and GM Fritsche


26th July 2012


Trade:

Milwaukee traded SS Trevor Plouffe (.215, 3 HR, 9 RBI) to Texas for starting pitcher Scott Baker (8-5, 3.29 ERA) and minor league 2B Luis Montalvo (.284, 3 HR, 36 RBI, 8 SB - A). Awfully bad trade for Texas, but nobody knows why the Brewers keep stockpiling starting pitchers.


Even if we did well against the Giants, we lost another game against the Brewers. The lead is down to three games now. Our batting is still reason for concern, as our average dropped to .255. The Blue Jays don't do as well as expected after moving to our division. They are well below .500, being 13 games behind. only fourth in their division despite a .511 winning percentage. The Canadian derby should be an interesting one nevertheless; even though we haven't played in a dome for ages.
