  • No need to comment on the AL East, AL Central, NL Central. Those divisions are done barring a catastrophic collapse.
  • The AL West will be a good one, Pittsburgh and Washington are going to fight for the NL East again and LA and San Diego are locking horns after LA tanked midseason while San Diego found their legs.
  • I'm hoping Chicago and Vegas keep the WC in hand as I don't much like the thought of Detroit in October. Call it a gut feeling.
  • The NL wild card looks like fun. 3 teams with what could be 6-7 if things fall right.
  • A lot of interesting but not earth-shattering statistical years in the making. I am not seeing anything record breaking except for Camacho possibly giving the all-time single-season AVG a race. Averages tend to fluctuate so wildly month to month. Right now Camacho sits .0159 pts ahead of Zach Fussell's .3654 in 2000. Dave Groh's is in the conversation as Eric Hecht.


  • TARPONS MONTH
  • 2nd rounder Josh Thompson took home AA Pitcher of the Month going 5-0 1.62 throwing 44.1 innings with 34 punchouts. He's 16-3 4.42 with 155 K's in 179 IP.
  • Ben Phillips, another 2nd rounder, took home Class A pitcher of the Month going 3-0 1.53 over 47 innings. He's 12-6 2.75 in 199.2 IP
  • And finally 2009 4th rounder Mitch Kleine went 4-0 3.23 over 47.1 IP punching out 50. Astute readers may remember my comments about him in that draft. A 1st round talent with 50th round brains. Maybe we're seeing a change? He's 7-1 2.89 for Hobbs this year
  • Both Clovis and Alamogordo clinched playoff appearances. I won't do much roster shuffling given where we are and what they've earned.
  • I will recall relievers Tyrese Umoh and Joe Ballard
  • Catcher Eddie Ellerbee will be added to the 38 man and called up, and C Chris Schultz and reliever Mike Allen will be placed on Waivers. OF Luis Ramirez will be DFA'd.
  • I'll wait for Alamogordo to end their season before calling up Fine (1B) Motalbetti (IF) Yamaoka (IF) and I think OF prospect Andy Elizondo might have earned a roster spot and callup. Also OF Jamie Okereke (our only true CF other than Bursey) and Nate Bosse will get the call.
