GM Notebook - August 1, 2032
Standing pat for the entire length of July is killing me. We went 10-10, so a little disappointing. I guess we could have traded one of our arb guys like Hayashi or Kuwahara or Arakawa, but to what end? We're half a game back of the Hawks, like everyone said we'd be.
Speaking of Hayashi, he's having a rough season, so Kawamoto's starting at 1B so we get Kuwahara's bat into the DH spot...that said taking a look at the WAR numbers, time to stop that! Maybe package him and Arakawa to let Ryota Miyake take over 3B? It's going to be so close between those two. Maybe let one of them take 1B to get some flexibility.
Pitching wise, Yasunaga Suzuki has been a damn revelation. 10 innings with only one hit allowed? Unfair. Hoping Yoshinobu Yamamoto can keep up his performance for this year and into next before Shigejiro Matsumoto matures.
This is gonna be some fun finish to the season.
