After an early stumble, we rattle off 7 straight wins en route to a 10-6 start to the season.

All the same, I’m finding myself distracted by my dissatisfaction with our mix. A brief injury stint for Lundy and Groh’s slow start each intensify those feelings until, unable to hold off any longer, I make the following move as the month draws to a close:

TRADE 1 OF 5 (04/27/20)

2B Heinie Groh and 1B Tommy Vereker traded to Cleveland for IF Wally Gerber.

It’s our thinness at SS causing me the consternation, and Wally covers that nicely. The price is a slight dip in offensive prowess, but I’m OK with that, especially seeing as Heinie wasn’t setting the world on fire and had lost his starting spot to Bernie Friberg. He’ll retain that role for now and Wally will be a swing utility backup across 2B / 3B / SS.

Standings, awards, news, leaders.
