I had a pretty good June, with a solid 3.77 ERA, although I went 0-2. Chin-Hui Tsao was promoted to AAA. He had a 2.84 ERA in 73 innings with 70 Ks and 20 walks. A pitcher named Corey Vance was sent down, but he only stayed for one start and was sent back to AAA. Kibler was promoted to AAA along with him. I'm not sure why he got the promotion ahead of me, since his ERA was the same as mine. He walked less guys, about half as many as me. Maybe thats why.
Chris Buglovsky, a 23 year old right hander and Jay Sborz, an 18 year old right hander selected just ahead of me in the 5th round, were promoted from A. Buglovsky made only one start and was sent back down to make room for Kibler, who was sent back down from AAA. Got all that? Sheesh!

I finally did buy a book, at b-bay, called "The Right Pitching Motion, volume 1". It was somewhat less expensive then I expected, at 115K. Left me some beer money. Once again, its a little over my head first time through. I'll read through it again.
