The roster churning continued, as we acquired a new infielder to eventually replace Clark Car on the active roster. That would be second basemen Charlie Woodbury, who has spent the past year and a half with the Kings before a six season career in Montreal. Brooklyn has seen 23-year-old Chuck Lewis (.300, 9, 43) emerge as the regular second basemen, so the 31-year-old Woodbury was moved to the bench. He's gotten limited at bats this year, but is hitting a respectable .243/.317/.459 (99 OPS+) with 4 doubles, 4 homers, and 10 RBIs. Even with George Sutterfield (.262, 6, 3) off to a decent start since his return to the majors, Woodbury gives us a reliable veteran and durable counterpart to Billy Hunter. Woodbury was selected to his second All-Star game last season, and finished the year with a strong .307/.359/.420 (115 OPS+) with 27 doubles, 11 homers, and 68 RBIs. His season line was similar to his .285/.341/.400 (111 OPS+) career mark, and the former 5th Rounder has tallied 172 doubles, 50 homers, and 373 RBIs in 853 games. He commands the zone well, walking (258) a little more often then he strikes out (246), and despite not being very fast, he was a pretty solid leadoff hitter. We'll now run with some combination of Woodbury, Sutterfield, and Hunter for second base, as we look to erase what's now an 11 game deficit. Progress!

The return for the Kings is a former 1st Round selection of theirs, Bob Schmelz, who is hitting .316/.391/.436 (117 OPS+) with a 130 WRC+ in Milwaukee. The 24-year-old has 18 doubles, 3 triples, and 30 RBIs with 27 walks and 32 runs scored. As good as he's hit, we didn't really have a spot for him, and I'm still trying to push in the chips for this season. Very few good players have been made available, but when they are, we still have plenty of bullets to fire!
