IRON PIGS MONTH IN REVIEW
The offense, not much to say, they're killing it and that's without Nieves hitting and Krieg's late April slump. Garcia could be an MVP winner and Rico Guzman and Daniel Perez are only going to get better. If Brumfield and McLain can keep their OBP mid to high .300's the offense will be a force.
- Bush (4.85), Guijosa (5.68), and Morris (6.67) are the reason we didn't have a monster month. Joey Morris was PiOTM last April, not so much this April.
- Merera and Avendano have been a much-needed steady veteran presence in their 9 starts.
- Matt Wright was just awful.
