Willie Stargell (PITT) hit HR #300
In a couple of surprising trade deadline deals:
Minnesota dealt Chris Chambliss to Atlanta for SP George Stone and
the Dodgers dealt Ron Cey to Milwaukee for Jim Slaton.
I find it interesting how Chambliss, who has put up good numbers, is now on his 4th team in 3 seasons. At least he is on a team that he actually did play for in real life. Which I cannot say about Ron Cey, this move will probably play out much like Bando in Milwaukee, it does make a pretty strong left side along with Yount. However, when Molitor comes around things could get interesting.
The Royals were quiet at the trade deadline, they attempted on several occasions to move pitchers, Al Fitzmorris and Carl Morton. Both of which have decent upsides but no room in our current rotation. A rotation that is plugging along quite nicely, the Royals have won 7 in a row and 9 of their last 11. Many of those games have been of the CG variety. They have welcomed back Amos Otis and Tom Poquette from the DL and the offense seems to be clicking on all cylinders.
Now for a look at the best of the month that was:
