Western League: Quickly Becoming a Two-Horse Town

--------

The Cambria Cannons were unable to replicate the phenomenal success they had in October, when they went 22-6, but against the tough Eastern League teams, they managed to hold their own. But they were just one of two teams in the West that could boast a winning record in November. In that context, their 15-10 record for the month is impressive. On both offense and pitching, they are outstanding and are shaping up to be the real deal in the West. They increased their lead to 7.5 games over the Kingston Pelicans and they currently have the best record in the ULB.

Top Position Player: Last time, I selected Clint Jones in this category, but he has since been traded to the Cobourg Red Stockings. But Cambria still has plenty of offensive weapons.
This time, I give the nod to C Glen Yeend (.370/.421/.530, 4 HR, 39 RBI, 33 R, 16 BB), who production has not let up since Opening Day.

Top Pitcher: Cambria continues to lead the West in ERA, but none of their starters had a particular impressive month. Thus I will go with RP Quentin Teague (2-1, 7 SV, 1.86 ERA, 1.20 WHIP) who went 2-0, 3 SV, 2.28 ERA in November.

Key Injuries: None.
--------

The Kingston Pelicans appeared to be getting back on track at the beginning of November, as they went 7-2 to start the month. But then they lost the next 8 games, which included a 3-game sweep by the lowly Cobourg Red Stockings. They went 6-2 for the rest of the month, but these lulls are uncharacteristic for a team that’s used to running roughshod over their opponents. Injuries to their pitching staff haven’t helped. Their offense is still firing on all cylinders, though, and will need to continue to do so to compensate for a battered rotation.

Top Position Player: SS Okura Ito (.420/.456/.642, 6 HR, 47 RBI, 51 R, 17 BB) is rated the No. 1 position player in the entire ULB, and you will not get an argument from me. In November, he hit .441/.496/.667, won a Player of the Week accolade and is currently on a 30-game hitting streak, just 5 short of the record. Curiously, he did not win the Player of the Month Award this month, but that speaks more of the incredible month Aaron Flanagan of Wolseley had than to any slight to Ito.

Top Pitcher: SP Brady Murdy (11-2, 2.43 ERA, 1.06 WHIP) did not have quite the month he had in October, but with the pitching staff in crisis, he was the pitcher his teammates look to for stability, and he went 4-2, 3.63 ERA for the month.

Key Injuries: SP Joey Cumberledge is out for at least 5 months (effectively the season), due to a torn labrum he suffered in Spring Training.
SP Francis Slocock (2-3, 5.53 ERA, 1.99 WHIP) is out for 4 more weeks, due to a herniated disc suffered on October 30.
24-year old SP Harley Bracher (3-6, 6.25 ERA, 1.77 WHIP), who stayed up with the big club following Spring Training when Cumberledge was injured, tore his triceps on November 27 in a game against the Stratford Barons. He is gone for 4 months. Bracher was the 16th overall pick for the Pelicans in the 1938-39 amateur draft.

--------

Two months into the 1939-40 campaign, the West is quickly turning into a two-team league, as only the Cambria Cannons and Kingston Pelicans have managed to keep their heads above the waters. The rest of the league is quickly becoming an afterthought. The Fort Richmond Generals began the season with a promising October (16-11), but collapsed in November (9-16). Perhaps it was wishful thinking on my part that the West would become a little more ‘top heavy’ this season. But if November is any indication, there will be a lot of ‘welcome mats’ instead.
That said the Generals do not rate all that badly in both the offensive and pitching ratings thus far. Now that they do not have to face the Eastern League for a couple of more months, perhaps the Generals will rebound in the standings (or is that just more wishful thinking?)

Top Position Player: The ageless, 42-year old RF Héctor Nájera (.377/.495/.568, 3 HR, 31 RBI, 32 R, 37 BB) stepped it up even more in November, as he hit .432/.523/.581, and leads the Generals in a number of categories. He also won a Player of the Week award in the middle of the month.

Top Pitcher: The pitching staff improved a bit, despite the team’s struggles in November. Leading the charge was Pitcher of the Month award winner Oscar Burress (9-2, 3.26 ERA, 1.36 WHIP), whose ERA last month was 4.80.

Noteworthy: On November 8, CF Kade Limeburner (.270/.403/.514, 7 HR, 41 RBI, 33 R, 43 BB) drove in 7 runs against the Downie Chiefs, going3 for 5 with 1 HR.

Key Injuries: None.

--------

Like a lot of teams in the West, the Pulberry Trolleys struggled in November, although not quite as bad, going 11-14, to fall 5.5 games back of the wild card. Their pitching rankings overall remain very good and they remain No. 1 in defensive efficiency. They are still below average, however, on offense. But perhaps like Fort Richmond, they have a chance to rebound now that they do not have to face Eastern League teams for the next little while.

Top Position Player: CF Rio Gidley (.301/.386/.429, 4 HR, 24 RBI, 21 R, 29 BB, 12 SB) had a solid month, going .311/.382/.444.

Top Pitcher: SP Sojuro Ojima (3-4, 3.79 ERA, 1.25 WHIP) was Pulberry’s best SP in November, going 3-2, 3.46 ERA in 5 starts.

Key Injury: On November 28, 1B William Tozer (.317/.398/.446, 4 HR, 34 RBI, 29 R, 28 BB) was injured running the bases in a game against the Wellington Athletics. He was diagnosed with hamstring tendinitis. Fortunately, he will be out only 5 days.
On November 29, SP Dan Rogers (1-4, 4.69 ERA, 1.41 WHIP) sprained his ankle. He is out for 2 weeks.

--------

The Balmoral Giants could be excused if they appear to be a little punch drunk, after the beating they took in November from their Eastern League counterparts. They finished the month with just 9 victories against 16 losses, and only one did they lose by just one run. Most of them were on the order of 8-1, 7-1, 13-3 and 20-3 (the last one at the hands of the Braeland City Monarchs).
But the Giants have fully embraced the future and enriched their No. 1 rated farm system further when they acquired OF Ramón Tavira from the Brunswick Legends back on November 4 (See the Brunswick write-up in the previous post). Tavira, the 7th overall pick in the 1938-39 draft is rated #35 overall and becomes Balmoral’s 5th highest rated prospect. The #2 overall prospect, OF Carlton Broadbent (.297/.350/.459, 1 HR, 8 RBI, 6 R, 3 BB), recently joined the big club. He was the 3rd overall pick in last season’s draft. If the rest develop in short order, then Balmoral will become a force to be reckoned with.

Top Position Player: SS Francisco Rodríguez (.363/.380/.504, 14-2B, 21 RBI, 38 R, 7 BB) won Rookie of the Month honours for the second month in a row. But he appears to be a rookie in name only, as he stepped it up in November and leads his team in a slew of offensive categories.

Top Pitcher: Balmoral pitchers are not a particularly strong unit, but SP Charlie Crocombe (5-5, 3.96 ERA, 1.18 WHIP) had a decent month, as he went 2-2, 2.85 ERA in 6 starts.

Noteworthy: On November 25, 37-year old 1B Roger Tyler (.374/.368/.374, 3 HR, 24 RBI, 24 R, 27 BB) went 4 for 4 against the Downie Chiefs, setting a WL regular season game record with 4 doubles.

Key Injuries: Utility IF Andre Walshe (.250/.297/.331, 9-2B, 12 RBI, 25 R, 9 BB) suffered a sore shoulder on November 11. He is out for a further 2 weeks.
SP Scott Wadley (3-3, 4.92 ERA, 1.55 WHIP) was diagnosed with radial nerve compression after a game on November 11, against the Wellington Athletics. He is gone for season (8 months).

--------

The Wolseley Unions fared somewhat better against the Eastern League than other Western League teams, going 11-14 on the month. The Unions offense has been pretty decent thus far, but Wolseley continues the trend of trading frontline starters for prospects. Case in point is 3B Derek Sakurai, who was hot in November, going 4 for 5 against the Wellington Athletics on November 5 and 5 for 6 against the Cobourg Red Stockings on November 22. Sakurai was then traded to Brunswick on the 26th.

Top Position Player: LF Aaron Flanagan (.330/.430/.646, 14 HR, 57 RBI, 43 R, 37 BB) is the real deal. After driving in 6 runs on November 21 against the Cobourg Red Stockings, going 2 for 4 with 1 HR, Flanagan went 3-4 with 2 HR, 3 RBI, 3 R the next day against the same Red Stockings. For his performance on the month, he won the WL Player of the Week Award in the last week of November and the WL Batter of the Month Award.

Top Pitcher: Does a 2-1, 4.24 ERA deserve recognition? It does if you’re a pitcher on the Wolseley Unions. November was just a lousy month for the pitching staff, thus SP/RP Phil Edginton (6-4, 6.67 ERA, 2.11 WHIP) gets the lukewarm nod.

Key Injury: RF Dong-min Lee (.313/.414/.431, 1 HR, 8 RBI, 9 R, 15 BB) suffered a hamstring strain on November 4. He will be out for another week.
1B Frazer Bainbridge (.317/.348/.381, 4-2B, 10 RBI, 12 R, 4 BB) strained his back in a game against the Brunswick Legends on November 27. He will be out for another week as well.

--------

At this point in the Western League standings, we really come to the ‘divert your eyes’ section. November was not kind to either the Sherburn Tigers or the Hespeler Stars. Sherburn won all of 8 eight games, although interestingly, they lost no more than 3 games consecutively during that spell. The Tigers are struggling on both sides of the ball. But unlike other teams that have committed themselves to rebuilding, the Tigers have been quiet on the trade front. They seem to be directionless, as their farm system is the second worst in the WL, 11th overall. Only Kingston has a poorer system (dead last). The Tigers made the playoffs in the ULB’s inaugural season but they have been sliding ever since. And they seem to be living in denial.

Top Position Player: CF Harold Yoder (.324/.355/.390, 6-2B, 28 RBI, 28 R, 9 BB) has performed well on a struggling team, batting .327/.350/.347 this month. However, he too has been scuffling in his last few games.

Top Pitcher: The pitching staff is not a pretty sight, but I’ll give it to SP Steve Greenwell (4-4, 4.06 ERA, 1.49 WHIP), who went 1-3, 3.49 ERA in November.

Key Injuries: 31-year old SP Simon Darling suffered an injury just 2.2 innings into his first game against the Hespeler Stars on October 5. He was diagnosed with a herniated disc and will miss 2 more weeks.
In a game against the Kingston Pelicans on October 23, 3B Mick Lanfear (.339/.394/.492, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 12 R, 6 BB) fractured his ankle. He is gone for at least 2 months.
2B Tim Rackham (.292/.313/.377, 7-2B, 17 RBI, 13 R, 4 BB) injured himself in a game against the Wolseley Unions on October 31. He tore a labrum in his shoulder. He is out for 3-4 months.

--------

The Hespeler Stars are consistent. They won 8 games in October, and they won 8 games in November. And they are consistently bad. They boast the worst record in the ULB and will pick first in this season’s Amateur Draft in early December. The way things are going, they will likely pick first next season as well. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing. On the positive side, the Stars do have some nice young talent on their roster in both LF Steven Winstanley and SS Henry Yarnold, former first round picks that are producing right now for the Stars. They have the top-rated RF in the ULB in Louis Maylam and a fine 2B in Rhett Curnow. Both Maylam and Curnow would garner quality prospects in trades, should Hespeler ever decide to embrace a full rebuild. If you’re already in last place with no quick turnaround in sight, you might as well accelerate your rebuild. But Hespeler has yet to go that route.

Top Position Player: Steven Winstanley had another fine month, but I’ll go with 27-year old Rhett Curnow (.335/.377/.468, 3 HR, 28 RBI, 38 R, 14 BB) who batted .438/.469/.552 in November.
Winstanley went 4-4 in one game in November, while Rhett Curnow went 4 for 5 in two games and Louie Maylam went 4 for 5 in a couple of games as well.

Top Pitcher: On a pitching staff that had an abysmal month, SP Michael Wilberfoss (4-6, 3.13 ERA, 1.54 WHIP) bucked the trend, going 3-2, 2.98 ERA in November.
SP Michael Hanley (3-3, 3.57 ERA, 1.66 WHIP), who was claimed off of waivers last month, went 1-2, 4.95 ERA
Hespeler claimed another SP off of waivers: 28-year old Freddie Ventriss from the Embro Suns on November 29. He will be the No. 3 starter for the Stars.

Key Injury: 41-year old RP Hyo-cheong Yu (1-2, 2 SV, 7.67 ERA, 2.27 WHIP) was diagnosed with elbow inflammation on November 16. He will miss 3 months.
