This Month in the BLB - A Philly Perspective - July 1989

[BradZ]

Local Brews

Ah July, it seems so long ago that we left you behind in the record books. Our quick sim schedule has already seen us tank a bit early in August, so it feels a bit weird talking about our 15-10 July record, but that’s what we do here in this series, so here we go. July saw us post another solid, but unspectacular effort. We picked up another 5 games over .500 for the month and you can never complain about a month that sees a .600 overall record.

Our offense has begun to click a bit. After scoring less than 4 runs per game before the All-Star break, the bats have produced 5.7+ runs per game through the end of the month. Of course with the yin and yang of baseball (real and fictional) our league leading pitching staff has taken it in the shorts a bit and hasn’t been as “upper echelon-ey” as it was through the first half of the season.

A couple of player highlights from the month of July:

Joe Seagarra - Well, it’s after the All-Star break so was there any doubt Seagarra would end up here? He put together a solid month of July that saw him push his season long BA into the .270 range.

Raul Carbajal - He’s really struggled this year. We’ve moved him out of the starting lineup (Pete Summers inserted as the starter), but he still gets plenty of time as our super utility infielder. He responded this month.

Micro Brews

Pancho “Chew” Baca (AA)- 10th round pick 2 years ago is having himself a season. After spending the first 2+ years of his pro career in A ball, a quick start this year (.459 | .529 | .549 in 122 Abs) saw him promoted to AA. He hasn’t really slowed down (well, a little bit, but come on, that pace was ridiculous).

Yen-nien Gui (AA) - Another 10th rounder (1986, old management. Thanks). My scout doesn’t see it, but there’s something there. He’s still only 20 years old and this is his first full year at the AA level (spent half a year there last year). He’s putting together a fine season overall, but July was something fairly special:

07/09 - Hartford saw RP Von Evans suffer a catastrophic shoulder injury (torn rotator cuff). He’ll miss the rest of the season and most of the next season as well.

07/09 - CAL lost 2B Jared for 5-6 weeks with a should injury on the same day as well.

07/16 - The Snappers’ bullpen lost a key member when young Dae-hee Yi suffered a torn labrum. He’ll miss the rest of the year.

07/26 - MAI lost Tom Tilbrook for the remainder of the season with a severe hip strain.

07/30 - SYR lost their CL Pat Reardon for the rest of the season with a ruptured finger tendon.

I always believed Victor Brousseau could have a season like he's having this year. Glad to see he got the recognition he deserves.

I regularly check on the guys I've traded and I happened to look at him recently. He is having a nice year but my scout still only has him 5,5,5. Not terrible, especially if they are high 5's, but I wonder if he'd be putting up the same stats in the DL. So, while I'd like to have him as part of my rotation I'll try to think of it that way.

My scout also gives him all 5's.

He reminds me of an older Jerry Sizemore - my scout gives them the same ratings and groundball percentage.

But I don't think either would be as effective in the DL.
