SJL:
Adrian Moreno, who was the 13th overall draft pick in 1969, chosen by the Detroit Falcons, was then later grabbed by the Houston Cavaliers in the 15th round of the expansion draft. At the time he was rated the 31st best prospect in the WPK. In his first three years as a member of the Cavaliers he was a member of the bullpen, getting progressively better each season. And then finally, at the end of this May, Moreno was finally inserted into the starting rotation. And that has gone pretty well so far, with Pitcher of the Month honors for the hard working right-hander being the most recent happy result. Houston is currently in last place in the SJL, but with the 2nd strongest farm system in the league and Moreno at the top of the rotation, things could be looking much better in the not too distant future.
MGL:
Aaron McNally. Pitcher of the Month. What really is there to explain. On the verge of another 20 win season and with a strong chance to claim his 4th Pitcher of the Year award at the end of the season (can
Sadahige Kawasaki somehow unseat him?), McNally continues to cement his position as the best ace in the game now that Jake Harris and Cheol-han Lee have departed the stage.
