Thanks once again for your kind words.
I will hope that these less frequent snapshots of the league can still capture the flavor of the WPK and as time permits and the spirit moves me I will try to go more in depth on certain aspects of this fictional universe and the Brewers club in particular, in lieu of the game-by-game approach that I took in the past.
In many ways I think I'm feeling a bit rejuvenated by taking the pressure off myself to provide more extensive and consistent coverage.
(So one teaser for a later post- 4th starter Bryant Cox, in his first full season in the rotation, has shown a greater propensity to get hitters to swing and miss than his ratings would have seemed to indicate previously, though admittedly his minor league K/9 numbers were pretty impressive. His numbers this year are a bit inflated by a 13 K game, including a run of 8 straight strikeouts which ended when he allowed a solo home run, but given that he hasn't pitched that deep into games thus far, his K totals have been rather higher than expected. And sure enough, the latest development update indicates an increased perceived current and potential stuff rating. He is one of several young pitchers whose development trends are encouraging as the Brewers system is currently pitching rich (at all levels) and position player poor (except at the highest levels).)
