A much better 15-10 May turned things around as we won 9 of our last 10. Along with losing Evans, Jim Wynn busted his ankle and will miss up to 7 weeks. We still lead the league in HR's despite the injuries as 7 players are on pace for 20 HR's.
The Royals look tough, they dealt top prospect 2b Julio Cruz for 2 pitchers who have combined to go 8-0 so far. Bill Singer just threw a no-hitter for Texas, he's off to a great start, I almost dealt for him.
Our off season additions have had their ups and downs. Closer Blue Moon Odom is on his way to an all-star season, Bert Blyleven has been 'meh' and Dick Drago along with Rick Wise have been pretty good as the new additions to the starting staff is concerned.
I picked up Cliff Johnson with the idea of being a utility man but he's not happy, so the injuries to Evans and Wynn have given him some playing time, but he won't be quiet in about a month. I signed Ed Kirkpatrick to a minorleague deal last week thinking I will have to deal Johnson because our clubhouse is happy and Bill Freehan is going nowhere, he has 7 HR's on pace for a career high
