With the season officially at the half-way point, owner Steve Lester has delivered his annual mid-season report card for me as team GM and manager.
And for once it is largely favorable. Being in first place certainly helps. But also, with Jared Stephenson's recent hot streak, Mr. Lester finally seems content that improvements at that position are promising. All indications, right up until the last few days, were that he was not convinced we had made much of an upgrade at thirdbase, but apparently he is starting to like what he's seeing from Jared.
The key now is to keep things headed in the right direction in the second half.
