05/13 vs Pittsburgh, W, 5-4 (12)
05/14 vs Pittsburgh, L, 7-9
05/15 vs Pittsburgh, L, 1-4
05/16 Off
05/17 @ Boston, L, 2-3
05/18 @ Boston, W, 3-1
05/19 @ Boston, W, 5-3

The Chiefs lose the Pittsburgh series at home, 3 games to 1, and win the Boston series on the road, 2 games to 1. The next 9 games are on the road: 3 each with Philadelphia, Washington, and Pittsburgh.

The Fed remains jumbled, as even Detroit--which has started a complete tear down--remains 4 games off the pace.

Because I would like to generate a little more offense there, I'm starting to work Anders Adriansen into the mix at short stop. In response, both Bill White (.500) and Adriansen (.429) hit well in split duty. There will be more of the same this week. Jack Brown (.400) has started to steal some playing time away from Mose Christopher (.190) as well. After a good April, Christopher is hitting .213/.262/.262 in May. Rookie Paddy Smith (.360) continues to show that he belongs.

The Chiefs have completed a deal with Brooklyn: sending a 4th round pick in the upcoming draft in exchange for P Chuck Murphy, who is out of options. Murphy was originally drafted in the 1st round (12th overall) by me for Montreal in 1930. He was traded to the Kings in 1933 in the deal for Milt Fritz. He hasn't had a great deal of success, but he is also just 26-years-old and has thrown only 118 FABL innings. We can spend the remainder of the season to see whether Murphy has a future in Chicago. To make room for Murphy, Jim Spencer--who has an option remaining--will go to Fort Wayne.

With a full 7 games this week, both Charlie Bingham and Murphy will pick up starts. As noted in last week's update, Ron Coles has now surpassed his high water mark in innings pitched. He is currently on pace for 250+ innings. He leads the FA in quality starts (7) and strikeouts (35). As an aside, he is also swinging the bat well: he is hitting .333/.368/.611 with 2 doubles and 1 home run.

Edited to add: There is a current opening in the league: the defending champion Cleveland Foresters are available (the current GM took over a massive rebuilding project in Detroit). The Foresters have a great collection of young and veteran talent. They would be a great club to get your feet wet with. If you are interested in joining a great and active league, send me a pm.
