Well, another month has passed in the pros. Drabowsky is doing phenomenal, with a 18-7 win/loss record for the year and a 3.09 ERA for July. He's gone back to being the Bronze's #2 starter, but he's still doing fantastic whatever spot he's in. His national popularity is Well Known, too--he's starting to get famous! Dwight Evans, with a popularity rank of Fair, is also playing pretty well, starting nearly every game for the Slashers. He only has a .211 batting average, but he's still a starter for the team. Frank Thomas got in three more games this month, twice as a starter and once as a pinch hitter. Still, he knocked in four hits, three runs and two RBIs in only 9 at-bats this month for an average of .444. It's a shame he isn't a starter, but the Slashers' starter at center--Curt Welch--is a pretty good player, and was named the #8 prospect this year. Ah, well. Thomas might get a couple more starts during September after the roster expansion.
Meanwhile, in the minor leagues, Donovan Osborne never got to play a game in AA. He went straight back to Single A after never playing a game. It might be best for him, though--he's doing great in Single A, and was invited to their All-Star game this month. Sauveur finally found a team--the Philadelphia Suns rookie league affiliate, the Nether Providence Township Maple Leafs. Quite a mouthful. They don't have many claims to fame and are one of the worst teams in the league, second-to-last in the generically-named Eastern Division. Part of me just wishes Sauveur would retire. His lifetime pitching--from one rookie-league game--is 0.2 IP with a 13.51 ERA. Goodness.
