San Diego Padres
Record: 73-89, T-5th, NL West (24 GB)
Postseason: -- Ballpark: San Diego Stadium (100 hits, 83 HR) Runs scored: 673 (7th) Runs allowed: 794 (11th) Pythag record: 69-93 (+4) Recap: The Padres' expansion season went pretty well, all told. They picked up a couple of decent young players and if it weren't for the crazy Angels' first season, this would have been the best expansion year ever. History: San Diego is a fairly longtime member of the PCL but this of course was their first season in MLB. Outlook: None of the expansion teams exactly looks "good" going forward but the Padres have a couple of pieces who might even be around for the first contending team. The pitching sucks though.

Jon Teague figures to be in the rotation, too, after being purchased from the Astros in October. Teague moved up three levels in 1969 but Houston didn't like his long-term chances and so now he's another Padres project. Rounding out the rotation is South Korean national Ji-man Im. Im went a combined 15-11 between San Diego and the minor leagues, although to be fair the minor leagues in this case was A-ball Key West. Bullpen Code:

Beckwith is a 9 time All-Star, mostly as a center fielder with the Giants, who has at least an outside chance at the Hall when he retires but is likely out of chances. The 1970 job is down to 28 year old Jeff Gray, the 3rd and final piece of the Henry Roman trade, and Roberto Honesto, who looked okay, at least, in 49 September at-bats. I don't know, maybe Beckwith isn't done as a Padre just yet... San Diego took advantage of desperation from Los Angeles last April when they managed to bring back Kevin Landry for reliever Jesse Marshall. Marshall, as noted in the Dodgers write-up, was awful but Landry proved to be one of the better hitters on the team. He's 37 years old this year and his 550 at-bats last year were a career high, so asking that much more from him is probably tempting fate, and as such the Padres brought in former Tigers starter Eli Ware to challenge him. Ware lost his job to David Salinas last year and hit very poorly but made an All-Star Game as recently as 1967. Dan Littrell drew a lot of walks and was not ineffective at the plate, but is not a good fielder at shortstop. Good thing for him, I guess, that his primary competition for the job is Chris Stephens, who is even worse with the glove. One of the two of them will probably emerge as the starter and either one will contribute to another bad defense. It's what expansion teams do! Outfield Code:

It's not a good combination and he's now pretty well established over the past 3 seasons - he was a platoon guy in Cincinnati before the Padres selected him in the expansion draft - that this is his level. Cody Slater, his challenger for the position, isn't any good with the stick either but has decent range and a fantastic arm. Nelson Hernandez was an expansion pick gem last year. He hit well all season and even earned an All-Star nod. It was uncharted territory for a guy who, prior to 1969, had a total of 72 games played in the big leagues. He's got no real competition for the spot, and why would he?

San Francisco Giants
Record: 87-75, 2nd, NL West (10 GB)
Postseason: -- Ballpark: Candlestick Park (98 hits, 104 HR) Runs scored: 649 (10th) Runs allowed: 636 (2nd) Pythag record: 82-80 (+5) Recap: An anemic offensive attack stalled the Giants before they could even get started. They weren't really as close to contention as the final standings would indicate; they passed the Astros at the end of the year thanks in large part to a 19-8 September after they were more or less mathematically eliminated. History: The Giants won 4 pennants in the first 5 years of the league but have been mostly knocking on the door ever since. Their last pennant also came in their last year in New York. They've come tantalizingly close since them - they lost the '66 race by half a game and were only 2 games behind the Dodgers in 1968. So there was hope that they'd be the first ever Western champs. The Braves had other ideas. Outlook: It's easy to point at a couple of bad pitching performances as the cause of their 1969 setbacks, but truth be told, the issue here is their entire offense, and that doesn't look like it's going to be so easy a problem to fix.

Looking past the wins and losses he's been pretty good the past 2 years, and had he given up just a couple fewer earned runs he'd be on a 4 year run of sub-3.00 ERAs. Jason Sanders somehow won the NL Cy Young with a 15-9 record (also he led the league in ERA with a 2.49 mark). He's struggled to stay healthy ever since and last season his 14 starts were a career low. He'll be challenged for the last slot in the rotation by Justin Jones, who showed he still had something left in the tank late last year after spending most of the year in AAA Phoenix. Bullpen Code:

Heyen is nothing super great offensively but is by no means bad and, well, there are other positions on this team where you *can* say that they are by some means bad, so let's leave Bill Heyen alone, okay? Trading away Nick Hawkinson was a deeply unpopular move in San Francisco but taking a bird's eye view of it, we think the Giants might have gotten the better end of that deal. Hawkinson, 41, is now 3 years removed from his last All-Star nod and... wait for it... his offense seemed to stall out last season. The guy they got back, Tim Mock, was pretty bad last year but he's more than a decade younger than Hawkinson and looked very, very good in 1968. Mario Guevara has the reputation of being a solid defender who hits well enough to push the team forward. Well, he's 38 now, is probably not even average anymore in the field, and as a hitter... well, okay, there are some very weak hitting shortstops out there right now but he doesn't really help a whole lot there anymore. He'll be pushed in spring training by Masayuki Kojima, an independent leaguer from Japan (note: I actually have the Nippon Baseball League running but accidentally included Japan as a source of foreign talent until last year) who is himself only okay in the field but did hit .345 in Phoenix last season.

He's a potential Gold Glove quality center fielder who had a ZR of +11 in just 68 games at that position last season, so he doesn't necessarily have to hit to stay in the lineup. He hit pretty well, all told, although the Giants would love it if he was able to unleash his speed on the basepaths by walking more. His backup is Chae-Hwi Park, who went from All-Star in 1967 to also-ran in 1968 and then AAAA player for the Mets last year. Scott Lammers led the team in homeruns last year. Yes, he only hit 22 of them but the Giants are starved for HRs. It was his missing the final month with an elbow sprain that led the Giants to giving Seligman an extended look and eventually a starting job, so they can thank him for that, I guess.

Seattle Pilots
Record: 68-94, 5th, AL West (26 GB)
Postseason: -- Ballpark: Sicks' Stadium (99 hits, 113 HR) Runs scored: 543 (11th) Runs allowed: 678 (9th) Pythag record: 65-97 (+3) Recap: The Pilots spent the first half of the season leaning on finesse pitching and defense to get as close as 1 game behind the White Sox on June 11, but like the Royals they fell apart in the second half. The Pilots' tumble was just a little harder. History: It's an expansion season, so there's none of this. Outlook: The real big story of the Pilots this offseason has nothing to do with the roster. Sicks' Stadium was simply not major league ready and Seattle fans did not turn out for the team (posting the 2nd worst attendance in the AL). As a result, owner Jonathan Ward has threatened to move the team to Milwaukee, and those "threats" seem less like "threats" and more like "promises". That said, the team also slashed its already meager payroll over the offseason, trading away nearly everything of value. As a result I think it would be a major coup if this team avoids 100 losses.

Unlike Olivares, Vardaman is not young but he is available, I guess. Ricardo Gomez is also brand new to the Pilots and gets a shot after going 7-2, 2.30 with San Francisco last season. They gave up a relatively small amount to get him: CF Rich Kemm, who had lost his job anyway, and 3B Marco Villafana, who also looked out of a position by season's end. Rounding out the rotation is another 15-game loser in Danny Plaunt. Plaunt opened the season 0-10 and lost his spot in the Washington Senators' rotation in early July. His play over the second half coupled with the memories of a nice 1968 were enough for the Pilots to pick him up in exchange for Dale Parks. Bullpen Code:

The Pilots brought Ryan Colvin in to be a moderating veteran influence on the team but at 42 years of age I'm not sure if he has anything left. His .210 average was the lowest of his career. Defensively, while his arm is still as good as ever, he can no longer move very much and so he's something of a liability out there now. The Pilots plan on giving former A's lower-tier prospect Francisco Martinez an extended look out there. He's only had 86 at-bats higher than AA in his career though so he may not be ready to go just yet. Tony Escobedo is the team's shortstop for 1970 because they really don't have anyone else. Escobedo can't hit but is at least average in the field. He beat out Gil Wilson, now in Oakland, last year for that reason - Wilson was a below average fielder. Hugo Flores will challenge him; Flores doesn't look great either but nobody who played like Escobedo did last season deserves an automatic job. Outfield Code:

He seems to have the tools to be at least adequate in the field and looks like a potentially league average hitter so he'll be given more time in 1970. Jason Haskell should back him up and might even win the job outright. He hasn't played in the majors since 1967 and has only 142 career games in the bigs overall but the Pilots know he can field, at least. John Simmons played for three teams last year and was subpar for all of Detroit, Montreal, and Seattle. He will still compete for the starting RF job just because someone has to. His competition in spring will be 29 year old Earl Goetz, one of the guys acquired from the Astros for Steve Fenney on August 30.

St. Louis Cardinals
Record: 83-79, 3rd, NL East (21 GB)
Postseason: -- Ballpark: Busch Stadium (99 hits, 89 HR) Runs scored: 673 (7th) Runs allowed: 707 (7th) Pythag record: 77-85 (+6) Recap: St. Louis expected a return to glory in '69 (they won it all in 1967) but a huge spate of injuries deep-sixed any hopes they might have had. History: The Cards spent most of their NL history as also-rans but suddenly emerged in the mid 60s as a dynasty. They won 4 pennants in 5 years between 1963 and 1966, also winning the World Series every year they finished first in the NL. They slumped all the way to 7th and an 80-82 record in '68 and last year, injuries or no, kind of stamped in the inertia of averageness. Outlook: If the Cards could only stay away from injuries, maybe they could get it going. At this point, maybe that's asking too much. At the same time, they really revamped their roster and are "all in" in poker terms for 1970. Rotation Code:

He did throw 8 complete games a season after getting just 4 in 35 starts, and it's possible that they were letting him stay in too long in 1969. Josh Young was acquired from Cincinnati and the Cards are banking on him not losing 15+ again the way he has over the last 3 out of 4 years. He was very much a pitch to contact guy last year, with his K rate falling in half from its 1968 totals of 5.8 per 9 to 2.5 last year. He does still have excellent control (2.2 BB/9) although for all the lack of Ks he fools his catcher a *lot* (a league-leading 16 wild pitches last year). Jason LaPointe rounds out the rotation for 1970; he spent 1969 shuffling between long relief and spot starting, proving to be a little more effective in the latter role than in the former.

Johnston has definitely seen better days but he hit a good, solid .307 and can still pick it at second base. The Cardinals nevertheless brought in Pietro Palmarocchi from Pittsburgh to challenge Johnston and insure against him having the kind of sudden loss of ability that happens to older players sometimes. Mike Morrison lacks power but otherwise fills in all the checkboxes for the Cardinals at third base. A gun? Check. Soft hands? Check. The ability to hit for enough average that he could contend for a batting title? Check. A good motor, so that you'll never catch him slacking? Check, check, triple-check. Tom Depew and Akiho Fujimoto will fight for the shortstop job and it's unfortunate that only one of them can win. Depew is the bigger prospect and hit .302 in a good second half. Unfortunately he doesn't field particularly well, although he could fill into that as he gets more experience. Fujimoto is a Japanese independent leaguer who also hit well. As of right now he's the better fielder but a lack of arm strength will prevent him from ever being substantially above average at the position. Outfield Code:

The guy they moved for him, Carlos Hernandez, might actually be the superior fielder, but the Cards do not feel they are in a situation where they want to take chances on someone with very little major league experience there. It should be said that although Herring does have experience, he doesn't have a particularly great reputation afield. He was the AL Silver Slugger in CF, however. Moving Hernandez was also done so that the Cardinals could plop Casey Satterfield into right field. Satterfield finished 2nd in the NL in ROY voting and won Rookie of the Month following a torrid .423 string in July. With the makeup to be a .300/20/100 guy, he's still only the 3rd best hitter on this roster.

Washington Senators
Record: 74-88, 5th, AL East (30 1/2 GB)
Postseason: -- Ballpark: RFK Stadium (98 hits, 94 HR) Runs scored: 599 (8th) Runs allowed: 661 (7th) Pythag record: 74-88 (0) Recap: The Senators dug themselves into a big hole in April and May, starting the season 18-32, but were actually pretty decent the rest of the way and easily stayed out of the cellar. History: Okay, so remember what I said about the flukey Angels having the best expansion season of all time? Nope. That was actually this second iteration of the Washington Senators, who went 87-74 in 1961 and finished a relatively close 13 1/2 games out of first place. I don't remember how large the protected lists were that yer but they were not large enough. Like the Angels though they fell back to earth in 1962, finishing 66-96, and have been at or near the basement of the American League ever since. Their 74 wins were their 3rd best mark. Outlook: The Senators are pretty well stuck deep in the second division of the American League, without a lot of chances at contention. In fact, a few things would need to go right for them to even finish over .500. At the same time, the 10-year deal they have to stay in RFK stadium ends at the end of this season and who knows what that will bring? Rotation Code:

Parks struggled with control and was a lot better in relief than as a starter, but the bar for outplaying Plaunt is not high. Kevin Freeman clocks in as the #4 after a year where he was a combined 13-9 between AAA and the majors. The #5 guy Brian Bruno had a really good ERA but suffered from poor run support and a lack of consistency en route to a 7-10 record. *So... as an aside I bought the 1987 edition of the Great American Baseball Stat Book recently and I'd kind of forgotten that the idea that most pitchers can only influence the game by means of the three true outcomes came about only in the mid to late 90s. There was a long-standing school of thought that non-strikeout pitchers could get guys to hit weak ground balls or pop flies (which, of course, they can still do, they just don't have a special skill in doing so). Even in a stat-heavy publication like the GABSB they were breaking down "power" versus "finesse" guys instead of just saying "yeah, this guy doesn't miss bats and that's a problem". One of the bigger strains on my stathead brain for this save is pretending like the Allan Andersons and Dave Flemingses of the world were actually good and not just lucky. Bullpen Code:

Second base is a weird position: since basically everyone who plays there is a failed shortstop in some way, you get a mix of players who hit like shortstops but field really well and guys who hit well but can barely play the position. Knight definitely falls into the former category. Washington brought in Jeremy "Vowels" Rzepka to push Knight, but Rzepka did very little for the expansion Pilots last year to make anyone think he'd actually be better than Knight. Kristian Schneider hit .307 en route to his 2nd ASG appearance and first since 1964. That was really the second straight good year he put in at the hot corner and the Senators have to be hoping he's turned a corner. Aaron Pope also hit .300 last year as his backup and as a right-handed pinch-hitter. After the Indians made the decision that John Johnson would be their SS of the future, they traded away their SS of the recent past to Washington for two young pitchers. Ramey played like a man on fire in the second half of the season, appearing to make his former team want to regret sending him off. For the season as a whole he set career highs in BA (.263), runs (73), homers (7), and RBIs (46). Joe Nyman, who was the man pushed off the job, was a career minor leaguer prior to last season and at this point is just happy to be in the major leagues. Outfield Code:

Swan may or may not have the range to stick in center field but was the 8th overall pick in 1967 and the #17 prospect in all of baseball as recently as mid-1968. He also hit .295 at AAA Portland as a 23 year old, so it's hard to see why OSA suddenly soured on him so much. He's got a great shot to unseat Everett, who was bad, bad, bad as a hitter. He's still only 27 and he even won a Gold Glove in 1965 (note: there's zero chance of him doing that again, even if he's a league average hitter as he was then) so there's still a chance for him. Ramon Goyco is also hanging around after hitting .295 himself in AAA last year, although he committed 6 errors in 18 starts in CF last year for Washington (a .902 fielding percentage) and they are not, apparently, willing to repeat that particular experiment. Manuel Alvarez saw his average dip from .290 to .268 last year and for a guy whose entire offensive game is built around hitting singles this was a bad sign. He's also a bit of a minus now as a right fielder. The only guy they really have to throw at him is Mike Allen, who was only adequate as a part-time player and pinch-hitter.

Preseason!
Team Movement
The big story here of course is the Seattle Pilots moving to Milwaukee to become the Brewers. As a Seattle native, this is a little sad, but the more I've read about that situation the more I come to the conclusion that the real error was granting Seattle a major league team in 1969 in the first place. I think the city would have supported the team but Sicks' Stadium was barely adequate as a minor league stadium and was just not up to snuff in major league terms. According to Ball Four they were still building the stands on Opening Day, and the plumbing was so bad that the toilets stopped working after the 6th inning (earlier on the rare days when the Pilots actually drew fans). Anyway, even though I think of the Brew Crew as an AL East / AL Central / NL Central team, they stay in the AL West for the time being, as they actually are further west than anyone in the East and will continue to be until the Senators move to Texas in 1972 (and even then, Chicago and Milwaukee are basically in the same part of the country; if I were in charge of placing teams I'd make sure those two were in the same division). Uniform Fun! Other than the Brewers' scheme change... The Cleveland Indians went away from the sleeveless design they'd been sporting for much of the 1960s. The new look is honestly a little bit boring but I imagine that at the time the sleeveless look seemed very outdated and 1950s. They also had a very major change to their color scheme, going from an all-red look to one that looked very muted and blue by contrast. I know that they'll change unis around several times over the 70s (which, let's face it, were kind of a great period for baseball unis if you like color and splash). Oakland changed the color of the underbrim of their hat from green to yellow. I'm going to go ahead and skip that change (though in general I like their uniforms from this period). Incidentally they did *not* get rid of their sleeveless unis, making them I think the last team in the league to still sport them. The Phillies revamped their logo, moving to that letter P with the baseball inside of it that I think most of us associate with the team, and then changed their primary color from red to maroon. It's nice to see not every single team being either red or blue, I have to tell you, and that's one thing that makes me happy that the current save is not in the 30s and 40s. The Pirates, like the Indians, also moved off of those sleeveless unis. I'd go so far as to call the Pirates' sleeveless job iconic, as looking at them instantly brings Bill Mazeroski to mind. Anyway, polyester pullovers were the thing in the 70s and the Pirates were all over that. I don't think they moved to the stovepipe hat until 1971 but OOTP doesn't really model that terribly well anyway, I don't think. Ballparks Baseball returns to Milwaukee and Milwaukee County Stadium. County Stadium is a little bit of a throwback to the baseball-first parks that were built in the 50s and were replaced by the cookie-cutter, multi-purpose parks that were all the rage in the 60s through the 80s. I guess I shouldn't go crazy in extolling its virtues - looking it over now, it's... not *not* a cookie-cutter... I understand why Crosley was torn down - it was in a bad part of town and too small - but I'm a bit sad to see it go. Right now Riverfront is in the minority in cookie-cutter parks in the NL but already you've got Shea, the Astrodome, and the Launching Pad in Atlanta. Once Connie Mack Stadium and Forbes Field are replaced by the Vet and Three Rivers next year, fully half the parks in the NL will be like this, and I think it's Le Stade Olympique that finally pushes it into the majority in the Senior Circuit. To me, all those turf-circle stadiums in the NL were as big a factor in the different styles of play between the leagues in the 70s and 80s as the DH rule was. Minor League Notes The American Association expanded from 6 teams to 8 - hopefully everyone will have a AAA affliliate now - and split into two divisions. The two new teams are the Evansville Triplets, a Twins affliate, and the Wichita Aeros, who are the property of the Indians. The Senators take over the Denver Bears and that allows the Montreal Expos to take control of the Buffalo Bisons in the IL. Speaking of the International League, Jacksonville relocates to Louisville, becomes the Colonels, and are now the property of the Boston Red Sox (formerly they were owned by the Mets). I have the AA and IL set up as two subleagues in one larger league so that they can play the AAA championship at season's end. In the Pacific Coast League the Vancouver Mounties prove to be too far north, I guess (Vancouver's right on the coast but WHATEVER). They move to Salt Lake City and become the Padres' new AAA affiliate. The Brewers, who used Vancouver last season, move on to the Beavers instead. At a glance, I'm pretty sure everyone has a AAA franchise now. The teams that did not - 2 of the expansion teams and the Red Sox - now seem to have them, and the numbers add up (2 teams added, and one team goes from 2 AAA clubs to 1). I'm not going to go over the lower minor league changes in as great of a detail... I do notice that the Elmira Pioneers (Eastern League) have another one of those really dumb two-team arrangements for both the Royals and the Padres. Welp, it's Royals only now. Hope you like NOTHING, San Diego! Similarly, it looks like Jacksonville got a team back in the Southern League where IRL both Montreal and Milwaukee used them. I'll go with just Montreal on the basis that Milwaukee is in kind of dire straits right now.

Spring Training
I think the really important things that happen here are major injuries and camp battles. I sim out these games anyway...
Major Transactions -------------------------- Feb 9: The A's sign David Decker to a 1-year deal. He'll compete with Jordan Henricks for the starting 1B job. February 28: The Yankees purchased CF Jeff Murphy from the White Sox for $10,000. Murphy had lost his starting job in Chicago when they decided to move Tom Brown into center field. New York really needs a LF more than a CF but nevertheless Murphy will compete with Micah MacMillan for the starting role there. March 21: The Twins acquired OF Guillermo Maldonado for RP Danny Mojica and minor league OF Jesse Neal. Minnesota figured they needed outfield depth with Alejandro Cortez out indefinitely, and they had bullpen arms to spare. For their part the Senators acquired a fireballing lefty who posted a poor ERA but struck out 8 batters per 9 innings in 1969. March 29: The Cubs and Mets swap catchers, with prospect Ricardo Romero going to New York in exchange for their backup Greg Darrow. The Cubs will use Darrow, who hit a solid .275 last year, to challenge Brent Putnam through the rest of training camp and maybe let him take over if the Cubs veteran can't hit. The Mets have their catcher of the future and trading Darrow away was as much to keep feathers unruffled as anything else. April 2: The Padres trade RP Sam Williams to the Cardinals for SS Akiho Fujimoto. Williams was the last remaining piece of a pretty solid bullpen in San Diego but a solid bullpen is a luxury an expansion team doesn't really need. In exchange they get the loser of the battle the Cards were having at shortstop. ST Results ---------------------- ATL ------ Injuries: Michael Diot's season ended before it even got started. He was expected to do some spot starting work for the Braves this year but instead he'll nurse a torn labrum. Vicente Luna will miss the first 2-3 weeks of the season with a fractured hand. Franklin Martinez filled in capably for him last year when he missed time and will do the same here. And if the Braves weren't hurt enough by injuries, they're also going to be without spot starter / middle reliever Jake Cari until some time in May. Camp Battles: 1B: Jeremy Holden was good but Dante Chairez was better. They'll enter the season platooning though. BAL ------- Injuries: SP Alfredo Lopez tweaked his elbow while pitching and will be out until May. The O's will push Ben Feldhusen, a 3 time All Star who hasn't pitched meaningful games since the All-Star Break in 1968, into the rotation to take his place. OOOOOF Ben Feldhusen's out for the season. Again. I think he's done. Camp Battles: 1B - Neither John Fleishaker nor Devin Cutter looked like they wanted the job particularly, but Cutter was marginally better so he'll enter the year as the starter, with Fleishaker spelling him occasionally vs. lefties. SS - Lucky Number Blevins held off Ian Reeder with the power of his glove more than anything else. Reeder will travel to Rochester to work on his defense some more. LF - Dave Hiatt simply outplayed Edgar Colon, who needed to hit to keep that starting gig this spring but batted .155. BOS -------- Injuries: The Red Sox will be missing the services of Lamar Boyce until late June to early July. Boyce played for three teams last year and was expected to provide relief help. Manny Venegas will fill in for him but the Sox may just go to a 4 man rotation with the games being a little far apart during the first month of the season. Camp Battles: 2B - The Sox decided to stick with the devil they knew in Dwayne Fraser, although Arturo Jaquez will stick around. CAL ---------- Camp Battles: 2B - Chance Hopka came to play this spring and Mauricio Mendez did not so the Angels chose veteran leadership over youth and talent this go-round. RF - Both Chris Tyree and Alvin Romero were red-hot this spring but the tie goes to the incumbent so Tyree gets the gig for now. Romero will stick around as the 4th OF / next man up as soon as someone gets hurt or cools off. CHW -------- Injuries: Jim Truss, who was slated to be the Sox' 4th starter in 1970, will instead start the season on the disabled list with bone chips in his elbow. Yikes. Camp Battles: 3B - Wooten and de Velasco were about even, so the White Sox will start the season with the two of them in a roughly 50/50 platoon split, with the righty de Velasco getting all the at-bats vs. LHP and around a fourth vs RHP. CHC ------- Camp Battles: C - The writing was probably on the wall when the Cubs traded for him but they made it official: Greg Darrow will start at catcher instead of Brent Putnam in 1970. It is not a move without controversy, as Putnam is a fan favorite and a 3-time All Star, but Darrow is younger, a better hitter, and at this point in his career a better catcher as well. CIN -------- Injuries: 1969 rookie phenom RF Junior Cannon was concussed in a collision at third base and will be out until mid to late April. Willie Ortega, a 26 year old who can play left field and first base and who hit 20 HRs in 274 at-bats for AAA Indianapolis last year, will open the year in left, with Justin Jensen switching over into right while Cannon is out. Camp Battles: CF - Chris Wilkes showed that he still might have something left and so he'll take the starting job out of spring training. Ben Menke is still in there as the only guy in the upper organization who is a plus CF. CLE ----- Injuries: Fernando Zavala's comeback from a torn labrum that has kept him virtually out of the game for the past 4 seasons (just 14 games pitched since 1966) takes a turn for the worse as he's apparently re-torn that labrum and will be out until June at least. Is his career over? The Indians will be without the services of Alonzo Huanosta until the end of May or the beginning of June, as he pulled up lame with a strained hamstring (and that's going to make him miss 6 weeks!? Good thing I know he has a high work ethic or I'd start pointing fingers). Cleveland's going to need to scramble a bit to find a replacement: for now, it's Nick Miller's job to lose, at least until Alonzo comes back. DET ----- Camp Battles: C - Gianluigi Farinelli flat-out outplayed Scott Woodcock and so he'll take that job going into the real games. 3B - David Salinas had a solid camp, hitting .280 for the spring, and John Daughtry did not. Daughtry should stick around as a right-handed pinch-hitter though. HOU ----- Injuries: SP Aaron Shephard is out until mid-May with a sprained elbow. In some ways this injury allows the Astros to avoid having to make some tough decisions about the back part of the order, as both he and Jeff Graton were pitching well but there was really only one rotation spot available between the two of them. CL - I don't really introduce pitching things as camp battles since at the end of the day both of these guys are going to play a lot, but Alex Ochoa and Jon Douglas both pitched well in spring training and so... the Astros will go with both! This was a thing teams did back then. Douglas is a righty, Ochoa a lefty. KC ------ Injuries: 3B Cris Ramos tore his calf muscle, more or less handing Jeff Nation the starting job. He's expected to return in mid-June. LF John Beard, the Royals' leading HR hitter / only power hitter of note ruptured his Achilles tendon and will miss the entire year. Given that he's 33 years old and wasn't very good when he was healthy, there's a better than even chance that this is the last we've seen of Beard. They will... figure something out, I'm not sure what. For now, Sergio Sicre is cross-training into left field; he'll be sent down to AAA Omaha to see if he can pick it up in a month or so (this happened on the 2nd to last day of spring training so unfortunately no chance to use the fact that ST gooses position training). Camp Battles: LF - Not a competition per se but Sergio Sicre did clear the bar in one game to get a 20 rating in left. Sure, what the heck, I'll keep him on the roster and see what he can do. What's the worst that could happen? CF - 20 year old David Corona demanded to be taken seriously this spring and he easily won this job. Corona hit .354 with 9 walks in 57 spring PAs. LAD ------ The Dodgers' bullpen just got a bit thinner, as Rich Wilson is out 5 months with a torn back muscle. They'll toss Keith Pacheco into the spring training co-stopper role and see how things shake out. Less than 48 hours after learning about Wilson's injury, the Dodgers also found out that SP Mario Juarez will miss all of spring training with a rotator cuff strain. They'll be understandably cautious with the young hurler but this will almost certainly put the kibosh on the idea of him breaking camp with the team. Brian Maccioli's attempts to build on a... rookie season will be stalled for a month, until mid to late April. He suffered a sprained ankle running the bases. The Dodgers will use this opportunity to try and train Nick Sego out there and see if he can put things together enough to play there. I am skeptical. I guess it's just going to be one of those years for the Dodgers... starting CF and leadoff hitter Danny Hohman is out for the year with a torn ligament in his knee. A huge, huge blow for LA, and I think we can call the return to the old dynasty off at this point. Prospects Butch Magana and JD Heil will duke it out for the 1970 job. Neither of them hit that well in September call-ups, but they are young. Oh man... so, JD Heil is also going to miss a month with a fractured foot. At least he's not out for the season! That means that Butch Magana has pretty much been handed the starting CF job. Go forth and leadoff-ify, Butch. 3B - Nick Sego, as expected, didn't hold up at 3rd base either. He just plain doesn't have the arm to play on the left side of the infield. The Dodgers will send him down to AAA Spokane and try to teach him the tools of second base; Billy Tristan is the incumbent there but let's be honest, he'll miss time this year. Jeremy Schwartz has had more than 300 at-bats as the backup 3B over the last 2 seasons and he'll fill in there until Maccioli is back. MIL ------ Injuries: Tom Owen will miss all of spring training with a forearm strain. This shouldn't be too bad, as Owens was projected to make the Opening Day roster anyway, but he won't get a chance to shake off the rust before the games count. John Simmons will wind up missing the second half of spring training, making it very hard to make a decision on him in right field. Earl Goetz would appear to have the job won by default. The Brew Crew will be without the services of Julio Garcia, 4-5 last year and one of the few pitchers who will travel to Milwaukee from Seattle. Luis Hernandez will get a shot to demonstrate if he can recapture the magic that made him an All-Star in 1964 for the Yankees (9-2 with a 2.28 ERA). SP - In a mild coup, Danny Plaunt pitched his way out of the rotation to open the season with a 5.94 ERA in 6 spring starts. Jake Kratky was bad at Vancouver last year and gave up 6 runs in 3.2 innings in the majors but nevertheless he's now the Brewers' 5th starter. C - Neither Jordan Jenkins nor Jonathan Victoria did super well. I'll go into the season with Victoria remaining behind the plate but I'm looking at you, strikeout boy! 1B - Jon Fath outhit Luis Mendez but truth be told I don't feel super comfortable with Fath as the full-time guy so I'll platoon the two of them going into the year. 3B - The Brewers flat-out don't have the sentimentality towards Ryan Colvin that the A's would have and so have no problems replacing him in the lineup with Francisco Martinez, who just straight-up outhit Colvin. Colvin will stick around for leadership purposes. SS - Hugo Flores didn't show any ability to hit this spring (a .196 BA) and so he'll be their man in AAA this year as the Brewers choose to go with defense. CF - Jason Haskell showed why he hasn't played in the majors yet, posting a .160 average when he just needed to hit well enough to knock the non-CF Jonathan Harbison off of the position. Instead he'll ply his trade in AAA Portland in 1970. MIN -------- Injuries: LF Alejandro Cortez is out for an unknown length of time with a sore elbow that has a moderate effect on the vet's throwing arm. The Twins stuck him on the DL just to be on the safe side; hopefully it won't linger for too long. In the meantime, Mike Grigg has been here before and will play. Marty Mendel fractured his arm getting hit by a pitch (ouch!) and he'll be out of action until mid-May, so it looks like Dong-hak Park has won the training camp battle for shortstop by default. The Twins will have to face life without stopper Pete Eason until mid-May, as he suffered a herniated disc in his back. Good thing they traded for Todd Thiesen... MON --------- Injuries: Friday, March 13 turned out to be a bad day for Expos reliever Jeff Carty, as he learned he would be miss all of the 1970 season on this day with a torn rotator cuff. For now, the Expos will try pairing Nate Herod with Cody Hunter and see how that goes. Camp Battles: 2B - Adri van Zanten didn't so much win this battle so much as incumbent Sergio Rojas lost it, as the 30 year old hit .180 in spring. NYM ------- Injuries: Nick Hawkinson will be out until late April to early May with a sprained ankle, leaving Bob Baldwin and Jose Vallin to fight out who will be the Opening Day 3B in his place. Camp Battles: 2B - Luis Alvarez was clearly not ready to go, hitting .103 and earning himself a one-way ticket to AAA Tidewater. Nick Warren will keep his job at second base. 3B - Jose Vallin probably could have won this job if it was at all close, as he was a contributor to the World Champions last year. It was not and former KC Royal Bob Baldwin wins this battle, at least for the next couple weeks (Hawkinson looks like he'll be back by mid-April). NYY -------- Injuries: Closing prospect Michael Williams ruptured his ulnar collateral ligament and his career is in serious jeopardy. Early returns say he'll be out until midseason of 1971 at least. Camp Battles: 1B - The starting slot was never in doubt but the Yankees, faced with the prospect of breaking camp with 3 guys who can basically only play first base, cut former starter and 4-time All Star John Chapman. Chapman will undoubtedly be snapped up by someone. CF - Micah MacMillan easily held off Jeff Murphy to keep his job, but he should probably get used to the open competition. OAK ------- Camp Battles: 1B - David Decker proved he still has something left in the tank and so the A's will head into 1970 with the 42 year old as their starting 1B and #3 hitter. CF - It was pretty close but the A's chose to go with the promise of a stronger bat with Mike Schurke over last year's starter Dylan Dockery. Dockery's chances were tied mainly into his superior glove-play but as spring progressed it became clear that Dockery wasn't actually that much better out there. PHI -------- Injuries: 2B Victor Serna will be out until late April with bone marrow edema in his knee. I don't completely know what that is. Anyway, that resolves the 3B issue at least for now, as Francisco Carrasco will open the year as their 2B and leave Alex Becerra 10 days to 2 weeks to prove that he's still the guy for 3rd. Corey Harpst will miss the entire year with a torn elbow ligament. The Phillies will pit prospect Andrew Powell against veteran and Gold Glove left fielder Bobby Kelly against each other to try and find an answer. Kelly looks awkward in right but should be able to adapt by the end of spring training. Camp Battles: RF - Bobby Kelly just didn't hit this spring and that was really the question mark coming from him. So instead the Phillies will try out Andrew Powell and see if he can make the scouts who say he's a C-tier prospect at best eat their words. PIT ------ Camp Battles: 3B - Gregg Powell failed to hit and so the elder statesman Roberto Prieto will get a shot to run it back for 1970. RF - Brian Jackson and Justin Hearl both hit the cover off the ball in spring training but Jackson's the incumbent, is still only 25, and did hit well in 1968 so I'm going to stick with him. He's already got an angry face on on his player card thanks to his own performance so I won't exacerbate things for now. SD ------ Injuries: The Padres will be without the services of 1B/LF Alex Canales for most of the season, as he suffered the old biscuit meniscus. Davin Henderson and Carlos Gomez. who both excelled in their own ways as pinch-hitters for the Padres last season, will go at it for the newly opened LF spot. I'd love to platoon them but they're both right-handed batters... Camp battles: 2B - Roberto Honesto outplayed Jake Gray and so, after a cup of coffee last year, he wins the Opening day job. Last year's guy Jeff Beckwith hit .100 in spring training and got himself cut. His career is almost certainly over. 3B - Kevin Landry just did edge Eli Ware, so he'll keep his job for now. LF - The Padres will chase Davin Henderson's power over Carlos Gomez' average going into 1970, although of course Gomez figures to see a lot of time as a pinch-hitter once again. SF ------ Injuries: CF Danny Seligman is out until mid to late May with back spasms (it says "recurring back spasms" but I don't think they've recurred yet... huh, actually, he missed times with regular back spasms last year. I feel like this is probably a coincidence but hey, just in case). This is exactly why the Giants brought in Chae-hwi Park; he'll take over and for now it looks like Rich Kemm, who the Giants brought in from the Pilots' fire sale in the offseason, won't be a late-camp cut after all. Camp battles: SS - Neither Masayuki Kojima nor the 38 year old Mario Guevera looked any good, so the Giants will go with... both guys, though they kind of want to go with neither. Kojima is a lefty so he'll get the lion's share of appearances against RHPs with Guevara getting exclusive action vs. LHPs. STL ------ Injuries: The Cards went almost the entire training camp without major injury, only to lose a CATCHER on the last day! It's okay, guys, it was just backup Jose Medina. The new backup is Willis Lazama, a 28 year old who neither hits nor fields at a major league level, so St. Louis's new strategy is to just never rest John Stuart. What could go wrong? WAS -------- Injuries: Justin Ramey will be out until mid-June with a fractured hand... that is a popular injury this spring training. Joe Nyman, the man Ramey took the starting job from, will take over until he's back, and for the remainder of the spring this will give us a little chance to look at 1969 first round draft pick Rob Curran. CL - Willis Chavez, the new blood in from Cleveland, had the best spring training of any of the guys competing for the stopper job. It was between him, Gabe Slaughter, and Danny Mojica. Of course, all three of those guys will see plenty of time in the bullpen, especially considering the state of the young rotation. Camp battles: 2B - Tyler Webster beat out Jeremy Rzepka in perhaps the least exciting spring training battle in the league this year. Knight will look for his 4th Gold Glove this season and hey, maybe he'll actually hit this year. CF - Bill Swan beat out Ian Everett and looked pretty good doing so (a .304 BA in spring training). RF - Manuel Alvarez also impressed in spring training and so he'll keep his starting gig for another year and, should he bounce back to that All-Star, .290 hitter level, several years more.

The rest of the preseason, to Opening Day
Major Transactions
---------------------------- April 4: The Giants purchased C Chris Campbell from the Red Sox for $15,000. The Giants desperately needed a catcher and in Chris Campbell they get a guy with a good rep as a defensive player who hit .260 last season as a backup. Boston had acquired Sid Bartoszek in the offseason and only one of those two guys was going to make the Opening Day roster anyway. April 4: The Phillies traded SS Eric Biron and minor league RF Richard Berman to the Brewers for 3B Bobby Ramirez and CF Alex Sanchez. The Brewers take on two players who could very easily start for them in 1970 and in exchange the Indians raided their shallow farm system. Ramirez was named the #20 prospect in baseball according to OSA but is still probably at least a year away from the major leagues. Sanchez is nowhere near as bright a prospect although he did win a minor league Gold Glove in 1968. April 5: The Brewers purchased RF Eric Greeno from the Reds for $5,000. Milwaukee continues to supplement their roster with guys who didn't quite make the roster of other clubs. The 27 year old Greeno had a cup of coffee with the Reds last season and should be a decent pinch-hitting / 5th outfield option for them in 1970. Preseason Predictions! ------------------------------------ I almost don't want to look at these because they might be too much information but what the heck, I'll forget about these in 2 weeks worth of game time and I think they're pretty interesting... AL East: The Red Sox will win 100, with defending champs Cleveland falling all the way back to 4th in the division. Surprisingly the Baltimore Orioles are predicted to finish 2nd and make a 25-win turnaround to 89 victories in 1970. Good luck with that! The Senators are predicted to hit the cellar in the East with a 67-95 record. AL West: The Twins should hold off the White Sox for a repeat playoff berth. They're predicted to win 92 with Chicago finishing 2nd and being the only other team in the AL West with a winning record with an 85-77 record. The Royals will bring up the rear with a 67-95 mark. I'm very surprised at how good the game thinks the A's and Brewers will be: both clock in with 75 expected victories. AL MVP and Cy Young races: They've got Indians 1B Ernesto Garcia hitting 62 HRs, which would be an AL record and which would be kind of awesome. I'm super surprised at how good the game thinks Rick Berman will be for Milwaukee. As you can see above they just traded for this guy, who spent all of 1969 playing for their AAA affiliate after spending time in '68 as a pinch-hitter for them. They say he'll hit .338 with 74 RBIs. OK. Mike Pesco, Mike Sanchez, and Angelo Ramos are all predicted to win 20, which, if the Red Sox win 100 games this year, I can definitely see that for the first two guys. Pesco's also predicted to put up 271 Ks in 262.2 innings. NL East: The game actually has the Cubs beating out the Mets this year with a 98-64 record; in fact, they have the Mets falling all the way down to 3rd in the division and the AI thinks they'll have to hold off a furious run by a 96 win Philadelphia Phillies team. Not gonna lie, that would be fun to watch. The Cards figure to drop to 64-98, which surprises me given that the game doesn't factor injuries into its predictions, and the Expos as expected are as bad as ever and will lose 110. NL West: The Reds will kick-start the Big Red Machine this year... what??? That would surely come from out of nowhere. The game has the Braves falling all the way to 76-86, which, given the state of their pitching staff, could be in play I guess. The Dodgers will fall all the way down to 62-99 with that depleted roster of theirs. NL MVP/Cy races: Henry Riggs, if healthy, will hit 58 dingers. That would be awesome although if he does that for a mid-70s win team it would be bittersweet. Justin Weaver's also projected to break the 50 HR mark with Justin Stone of STL and reigning MVP Antonio Lopez dropping more than 40. For Cy stuff, Houston's Tony Rivera is predicted to go 22-8 but in 42 starts, which seems unlikely. He definitely has the makeup to win 20 though. Philadelphia's Roger Quintana projects to a 20-10 record, which could happen if he stays healthy. Santos Arango will lead the league in ERA with a 2.23 mark and speaking of Pirates pitchers, OOTP predicts big thing for reliever Paz Lemus: an 11-5 record, 23 saves, and a 1.97 ERA in an environment where in real life ERAs throughout the league creep closer and closer to 4 (3.88 in actual 1970).

Opening Day!
Major Opening Day Transactions
---------------------------- The Expos purchased C Ian Singleton from the Giants for $10,000. Singleton was made available by the acquisition of Chris Campbell and as far as the Expos are concerned he's better than anything they've got. The Expos also purchased 1B Gabe Martinez from the Mets for $7,500. Martinez, 27, hit .355 in AAA ball last year but was blocked in New York by Joshua Waltenbery and at 27 was out of options this season. Instead he'll pinch-hit for Montreal and be there just in case Armando Munoz turns into a pumpkin. (I'm not even going to begin to run recaps of every game, haha, but Opening Day is, you know, Opening Day and all that). Reds 3, Expos 2 The Reds rang in their new ballpark in style, beating the Expos 3-2 behind a fine 7 inning, 7 K performance by 1969 18 game winner Joe Hagan. Hagan did throw a lot of pitches through 7 so he was pulled for stopper Ricky Rosas, who pitched 2 scoreless innings to preserve the victory. LF Willie Ortega and CF Chris Wilkes both contributed two hits for the Reds, who got all the runs they needed on a 3-run homerun by catcher Oliver Williams. Phil Farr threw a complete game in the loss for the Expos, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits with 5 Ks. 4 players on the team had multi-hit games for Montreal, including an RBI triple by RF Aaron Sullivan, but they just couldn't string together consecutive hits when they needed to. Tigers 2, Senators 1 Washington ruined a fine performance by Ken Coffey by committing 3 errors, one of them leading to the game-winning run. Kristian Schneider was the primary culprit, as he flubbed two balls. Schneider is battling knee soreness but that's no excuse for missing throws if you ask me. Vince Akright lacked pinpoint control but still scattered 4 hits over 7.2 innings before being relieved by Ben Schmidt, who earned his first save in his new role with the Tigers (previously he was an 18 game loser with the Expos). Ken Coffey threw a 5-hit complete game with 6 Ks and 2 walks. Joe Nyman left the game after being hit by a pitch in the 6th inning, but it's not expected to be serious.

Opening Day - April 20th News
Going every 2 weeks feels about right. I have a book at home called The Baseball Timeline that has little daily notes like this. I'm adding in things that the Timeline might not include like major injuries and, when they happen, players complaining about playing time or demanding to be traded. Like with the yearly reports, they help my ADHD brain organize its thoughts on this and I hope that they help my faithful 2 readers grok the ebb and flow of the season in general. Also, I've tossed in some actual real-life news stories that at least for me make this feel more like it's actually, like, 1970 and stuff. You can almost see the bellbottoms when you close your eyes!
I plan to also have a monthly dump, probably just of the game-generated league summaries. What I'm doing right now allows me only takes a little bit longer per game-day whereas stuff I did in the past where I tried to find a story every couple weeks or month per team slowed things to a halt when frankly I'm doing this dynasty as an excuse to play OOTP too much to be healthy. Major Transactions ------------------------ April 9: The Orioles purchased C Robert Keith from the Dodgers for cash. This move may be straining the definition of "major". Keith didn't make the Dodgers roster and was waiting for his DFA period to run out so that he could be assigned to the minor leagues. He's roster filler, nothing more. April 20: The Montreal Expos purchase CF Anton Mendoza from the Giants for $2,500. Mendoza is a 5th OF type who didn't make the Giants' roster out of spring training. He's still only 25 and probably isn't any worse than Expos' incumbent Jeff Byce (.231, 0, 2) so he'll immediately come in and share time in center. News ----------------------- April 7: To basically nobody's surprise whatsoever, Ryan Colvin announced he'll retire at the end of the season. I'm not convinced he'll even finish the season on a major league roster. April 10: Paul McCartney announced he is leaving the Beatles. The Yankees lose 5 points from their STUFF. (just kidding! I ain't about that this save) April 12: The Orioles' David Torres lasted all of 3 batters in 1970 before going down with biceps tendinitis. He's out indefinitely and placed on the 60-day DL (note: I know he's due back in 2 months but tendinitis doesn't seem like the kind of injury where you'd really know a guy would be back in a given timeframe). With a double-header coming up next weekend against the Yankees, the O's will in fact need a 5th starter, so I'm calling up prospect TJ Ziegler to fill that role. April 12: Josh Matthews of the Cleveland Indians pitches a no-hitter against the Yankees. It's the 31st in major league history and the first of 1970. Last year there were two of them, both against the Seattle Pilots in September, so you could say this was the first real one since 1968. Matthews didn't have amazing stuff, striking out only 2 hitters (he walked 6) but did a great job of delivering the baseball to his fielders all game long. April 13: An oxygen tank in the Apollo 13 spacecraft explodes, forcing the crew to abort the mission and return in four days. April 13: Bryan Milton, the backup RF for KC who had to start this week because Carlos Guzman was hurt, won the first AL Player of the week of the season by going 12-22 with 3 RBIs. April 13: 2B Pedro Ortiz of Cincinnati blistered the ball to the tune of a .625 average (20-32) with 1 HR, 6 RBIs, and 6 runs to take home the NL PotW. April 13: Also, the very first power rankings came out. The top 5: 1. LA Dodgers 2. Detroit Tigers 3. Philadelphia Phillies 4. Boston Red Sox 5. Cincinnati Reds The Mets are 8th and the Twins are all the way back at 12th. April 13: Justin Richens, now playing for the Houston Astros, hit the 400th HR of his career, a line drive to right field that just cleared the fence in the spacious Astrodome. It's also the 1st HR of his Houston career. April 15: Michael Pesco tied his own team record with 12 strikeouts in a 6-2 thrashing of the New York Yankees. Pesco has hit this mark 7 times. The Red Sox improve to 6-1 while the struggling Yankees, hitting just .197 to open the season, fall to 1-6. April 16: Atlanta Braves 3B Vicente Luna suffered a setback with the fractured hand he suffered in spring training. He will undergo surgery on it and will be out until the All-Star Break. April 17: The Apollo 13 landing capsule successfully touches down in the Pacific Ocean following their aborted mission. April 17: San Diego Padres CF Zachary Hadley slipped a disc in his back trying to gun a runner down at home and will miss the next month. Hadley was off to a decent start, hitting .289 with 6 runs in his first 11 games after leading the league in Ks the year before. The Pads will call up CF Tyler Mitchell, a 9th round pick in 1968 who was hitting .300 at AAA Salt Lake City, to take his place. April 19: Phillies CF Joel Schaben, recently acquired from the Cardinals, will miss the next 5 weeks with a fractured finger (the third of those injuries I think I've seen lately? COMON OOTP BE MORE ORIGINAL). Prospect Mark O'Connor, who hit .289 last year at AAA Eugene, was raking in the same place so far this year and so the Phillies will give him extended time to show his stuff. Malachai Barron is also there as a proven quantity but he's a proven meh player. April 19: Atlanta has been dealing with Franklin Martinez being out of the lineup with a strained abdominal muscle. He's already the 2nd string 3B and was pressed into starting with the injury to Vicente Luna. Now that injury has been downgraded to the never-great "unknown". 27 year old Mike Medford, who himself did pretty well in limited time last year, has been playing the majority of the time at the position and will continue to do so for the forseeable future. April 20: The NL Player of the Week is none other than Giants LF Barry "The Ritz" Cooper (.436, 3, 6). The hard-working 26 year old had 13 hits in 26 at-bats including 2 HRs. April 20: In the AL, Kansas City CF David Corona (.462, 2, 6) took home PotW honors after hitting 9-18 with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs. This is his first-ever weekly honor. April 20: New power rankings! Here are the top 5: 1. Boston Red Sox (8-2) 2. New York Mets (8-3) 3. Cincinnati Reds (11-4) 4. Detroit Tigers (7-3) 5. Chicago Cubs (6-3) For last year's division winners, the Minnesota Twins are 12th (5-5), the Cleveland Indians are 15th (4-5), and the Atlanta Braves are 16th (5-7).

April 20-27, 1970
Actually, weekly feels about right. My big thing here is to not get myself into a situation where I have given myself a writing assignment before I can play more OOTP but wind up not wanting to do it. This, well, I just make some notes while I'm playing and I move on. And, as noted with the big reports dump at the beginning of the year, these help me organize my thoughts about stuff (there's even a moment in here where I realize I should be starting a player!).
Major Transactions ------------------------ April 22: The Cubs traded RF Matt Williams (.000, 0, 0) to the Expos for minor league SS Jonathan Cruz. Williams had just 2 at-bats to date with Chicago and had been pushed out of the backup corner OF slot by Adam Groves, who missed all of 1969 with an injury but hit .268 and led the NL in RBIs in 1968 (really, the more I look at him, the more I realize that he should actually be starting). Williams hit 39 HRs for Chicago almost a decade ago in 1961 and the Expos would love to see if he could still do something like that. The chip the Cubs got back is minor league depth and little else. News ----------------------- April 20: I'm not sure how you'd quantify this in terms of records but Cleveland Indians stopper Doug Ellis, acquired in a trade with the Washington Senators in the offseason in a move primarily designed to allow them to move away from last year's man Todd Theisen, gave up with 6th HR in 8 appearances. What blows me away is that his ERA is still as low as 7.27 (I'm writing this in the middle of the game); the latest jack came with 2 outs and all of the runs were unearned because the inning was extended on an error by 2B Chris Grube. Anyway, I'm sure his FIP is scary bad (I don't have that stat on tap on purpose) but his ERA is not quite high enough for me to want to replace him just yet... (and fyi Ellis actually lowered his ERA to 5.73 in this game; he went 3 innings - 70s stoppers, y'all - and didn't technically allow any earned runs) April 22: The first Earth Day is celebrated in the US. April 23: Terrible news for the Pirates, as starting 2B Henry Villar (.400, 0, 4) suffered a bad concussion colliding with Astros second baseman Alejandro Chairez in a play at that base (Villar was ruled safe with a double) yesterday. Today it was announced he'd miss the entire season and frankly, you'd have to think that such a thing could impact his career. We, um, wish the best for Villar moving forward. Arturo Martinez, a 26 year old semi-prospect, will be called up to replace Villar as best he can. April 23: With Villar out, Pirates SS Tyler Webster (.282, 3, 7) ties a Forbes Field and a National League record with 3 HRs in a single game. He's the first Pirate to reach that mark (it's a tie held by lots and lots of people throughout the league to be honest) since Roberto Prieto did it in 1966. April 26: The Astros beat the Cubs tonight 19-4. A pretty damn ugly game if you ask me. A pretty ugly series for Cubs' pitching, though they somehow managed to win 2 of 3 in this series: they won the first game 13-12 and the second 3-2 before dropping this one. Wrigley Field in the 70s, man... April 27: Detroit Tigers 2B Danny Villegas had a beastly week to earn the AL honors. He was 8-19 with... 6 HRs. Somehow this only got him 8 RBI and 6 runs scored but blame the rest of the Tigers for that. April 27: Speaking of le dinger, Houston Astros' 1B Justin Richens is getting started out well with his new team. Richens went 9-23 las week with 4 homeruns, 10 runs, and 10 RBI. April 27: And onto the power ratings... 1st (1st) Cincinnati 15-5 2nd (2nd) New York Mets 11-5 3rd (3rd) Detroit 10-5 4th (4th) Boston 10-5 5th (5th) Chicago Cubs 9-5 Minnesota (10-6) is 6th, Cleveland (5-9) is 20th, and the Atlanta Braves (5-13) are actually all the way in dead last right now. Their entire pitching staff has been even worse than anyone thought they'd be so far. It's not panic time yet but it's close...

How about a stat dump???
So of course after saying that I don't want to do stuff that is a lot of busy work, I came up with this... actually, the vast majority of the work is done up front. All I need to do to write the below is do the "yearly" SQL dump, concatenate all the SQL files into one big file and run it, and then execute a little script I wrote in C# that converts that data into the dump you have below.
That said, one thing I remember doing as a nerdy kid (maybe teenager) was getting that weekly issue of USA Today and looking over stat lines to see how players are doing, who's who in the leagues, and so on. If you somehow got through the reports and want to stay up to date on my pretend players, this is the place to do it. I've also only included "major" stats for a. brevity and b. to help you get a feel for following teams in a pre-stathead world. I also did a MacMillan Encyclopedia-esque thing (by the way, the first edition came out in 1969, very apropos to this dynasty!) and only included "relevant" players: those with PAs greater than or equal to half their team's games or IPs greater than or equal to a quarter of them. Code:

On an unrelated note I've been watching a decent amount of old baseball games while playing this save, especially the parts I've been doing over Christmas break. In fact, I'm watching the 1969 World Series Game 2 right now. I bring this up because they're playing the Star Spangled Banner right now and the "singer" is... the Suburban High School band. Even baseball, the national pastime in the 60s, was clearly smaller than it is now... or at least much cheaper...
While I'm at it, I'm also getting a bit of a kick out of some of the commercials. I went on a kick of watching old "What's My Line" re-runs from the 1950s and the spots they ran back then were far, far different from what you see nowadays. They didn't really have the medium down, exactly, and a lot of the spots were just a minute of someone lecturing you about why you should purchase their product, or some Announcer Guy extolling the virtues of (product) in Announcer Voice. There's a fair bit of that in 1969 but there's also a clear move towards what you see now, where there's a clear need to entertain the audience while selling the product. There's this series of Right Guard commercials for instance that feature a two-way medicine cabinet where one guy opens it and talks to his neighbor and, like, hijinx ensue... it's not *quite* what you'd see today, maybe - the selling aspect is still way too heavy-handed - but it's a whole hell of a lot closer than the "What's My Line" attempts.

April - Team Stats
While I'm waiting for the game to compile the DB dumperino, here are the league-wide stats and perhaps some quick thoughts:

Baltimore in particular dropped to 98 losses last year but they seemed like a dark horse if they could stay healthy and so far in 1970 that's happened. They've been hitting out of their minds and that will probably come back to Earth but top to bottom, honestly that lineup is pretty, pretty, pretty good. And Kansas City... well, I don't trust expansion teams and there's nothing about the Royals that says their record is sustainable, but way to go, I guess? National League Code:

Arango PIT 1.0 The flip side is the Braves, who are finding all kinds of ways to lose this year. Mostly, it's the horrific pitching, 2nd worst in baseball ahead of only the expansion Expos. At that, the bullpen has even been pretty okay with a 3.21 ERA that sits at 3rd best in the senior circuit, but the starting pitching... well, you'll be able to see the individual numbers in the next post. I should add that the Braves' malaise has also allowed the LA Dodgers, whom I'm pretty sure the preseason predictions marked as the 2nd worst team in the NL, to finish April with the 2nd best record. They're even riding a 5 game winning streak. As you'd expect with a team that plays its home games at Chavez Ravine, it's pitching that's leading the way - a 2.45 starters' ERA and a 2.44 relievers' are both best in the NL. The hitting has been remarkable mainly in the way that nobody's gotten hurt so far (well, other than leadoff man and 1969 All-Star Danny Hohman in spring training, and granted, that's a pretty big "other than").

April - Player Stats
I have to admit, I'm pleased as punch with this. I'm watching Game 7 of the 1952 World Series with Red Barber and Mel Allen announcing and... I am really "sitting in the catbird seat" if I do say so myself. The one flaw with the DB calls I'm making is that they're not going to include anyone who didn't play at least an inning at a position other than pitcher, which doesn't really matter right now but will be an issue once the American League adopts the DH...

April 27 - May 4
Major Transactions
------------------------ April 27: Tne Angels trade LF Alvin Romero (.273, 0, 1) and 1B Jon Skelton (.284, 2, 10) to the Senators for 3B Kristian Schneider (.222, 0, 3). I had a hard time figuring out this trade and TBH I kind of hate it, but it also makes some sense for both sides. On the Angels' side of things I hate hate hate sending out Jon Skelton, who has been a key member of this team since he was the first ever pick in the first ever expansion draft, but 3B Pete Jennings (.304, 1, 10) has been a butcher at the hot corner this year (5 errors in 16 games, a .902 FA) and needs to be moved over to first in the long-term anyway. So they receive Schneider, who along with Jennings represented the AL at the position in the ASG last year. On Washington's side, obviously losing Schneider is a huge blow but they're not good this year... and okay, in this situation, you don't generally trade for a 41 year old, but this allows them to replace 38 year old Nick DeBoer (.240, 2, 4) who made the ASG himself last year but is someone the Senators have not been super fond of for a while, and it also gives them a young potential superstar in Romero (who'd lost his starting gig when the Angels traded for Nelson Vargas in the offseason). News ----------------------- April 27: It's not the biggest injury news in the world but Boston Red Sox LF Josh Teague (.250, 4, 8), who has been fighting little injuries all year, will miss the next three weeks with a strained back, just long enough to land him on the DL. CF Ryan Johnston was coming back from a longer term injury and I had him in rehab. This injury was enough for me to call him up and replace John Glynn (.149, 1, 8) in center. In Teague's vacated LF I'll platoon lefty Josh Pitt (.316, 0, 3) and righty Cody Miller (.200, 0, 2 in 5 1970 at-bats). Neither is a great option but, well, 3 weeks... April 27: Speaking of those Bosox, they were dealt a huge, huge blow to their pennant chances when SP Michael Pesco (3-0, 0.87) tore his labrum while pitching against the Milwaukee Brewers this afternoon. He'll be out until the end of June at least. Pesco was absolutely on fire to open the year, having struck out 29 batters in 31 innings en route to the numbers I just posted. He was the early front-runner for a 3rd Cy Young Award. April 27: Not a great day for AL starting pitchers! Minnesota's Mike Larsen (2-1, 2.51) will miss the next 4-5 weeks with an elbow strain. Larsen joins an ever-increasing Twins disabled list that already included Rich Whetzel (who hasn't pitched since 1968), Caleb Howard (out since May of last year with a torn flexor tendon in his elbow), and reliever Pete Eason (who slipped a disc in his back in spring training). April 29: The US invades Cambodia to try to root out the Viet Cong. This kicks off a wave of antiwar protests in this country. April 29: As if the little men inside of my computer wanted to show me that it's not all Wrigley Field, the Cubs blew out the Pirates 15-4 in Forbes Field today. Forbes is very much a pitchers' park (a 0.55 HR rate for RHBs for instance) in its final season in the MLB but it's like the Cubs don't even care. 3B John Maroney (.350, 1, 2), who is filling in for incumbent Sean Gabel (.414, 1, 11) as he recovers from an ouchie on his hand, went 4 for 6 with the rare right-handed homerun in this bad boy. May 1: Lots and lots of demonstrations in the USA today, kicked off by both the US invasion of Cambodia and the New Haven Black Panther trials. The spring of 1970 = the summer of 2020? May 1: Cincinnati Reds' LF Willie Ortega won NL Rookie of the Month with a nice .294/.333/.500 slash for the Reds. The game says he "hit 'em where they ain't". Um. I guess they, by which it means the defense, "ain't" in the stands. Ortega was only filling in until Junior Cannon came back, and even with that nice month it's hard to see him breaking into the Reds' lineup (he is a prime candidate for DH if that position existed and is blocked by Cannon and Stephen Clark at the DH-ey positions in the field) but he's there in case of injury and hey, you never know... May 1: It's no surprise that the AL Rookie of the Month is the Milwaukee Brewers'... Jake Kratky? What? He went 1-2 with a 2.67 ERA as a surprise starter for the former Pilots squad but, like, his teammate Richard Berman is hitting .400 so far as a full-time starter. Kratky is one of those "finesse" pitchers that people used to think were a thing, so there is that (and tbf "finesse" guys tend to throw an economy of pitches and putting the ball into play a lot makes for some exciting baseball. It's almost too bad that we figured FIPS out). May 1: Steve Waiters of the Cincinnati Reds went 5-0 in April with a 2.25 ERA and that was enough to win him his very first NL Pitcher of the Month. He held opponents to a .201 average, which is off of 7.4 K/9, which is well above the league average of 5.8, and he's got the 2nd best BB/9 and K/BB rates in the senior Circuit. He goode May 1: Twins ace Angelo Ramos's bullpen blew up against the hapless Senators yesterday, which I thought might cost him the AL Pitcher of the Month Award, but happily it did not (also the Senators blew up right back at Minnesota, allowing the Twins to pull out a victory in extra innings so there is that, too). He still went 4-0 in 6 April starts with a 2.47 ERA. He's got the best control in the AL, with 1.0 BB/9. As I've posted about all the time, he missed a third of the year last year and, in spite of the fact that the man is an 8 time All-Star, really only began to look like the Twins ace in September and into October. He's clearly extending his clutch pitching into the 1970 season. You love to see it. May 1: Rounding out a Reds Player of the Month trifecta, 2B Pedro Ortiz carried that monster first week he had (see my prior weekly report) into NL Player of the Month honors. He hit .434 with 3 ding-dongs, 14 runs scored and, amazingly, 17 RBIs while hitting leadoff. This is 26 year old Ortiz' first Player of the Month and, I suspect, not his last. May 1: In the AL, the Player of the Month was also a second baseman, in this case keystoner Danny Villegas. All Villegas did was hit *9* homeruns last month with *20* RBIs, numbers that put him on pace for 81 and 180, respectively. We suspect that rate is not sustainable but if he stays healthy (always a real queston for Villegas, whose hasn't played more than 120 games in a season since 1966) he could hit 50 of them. May 1: Houston Astros' 3rd baseman Nate Ringstad is demanding a trade. He's been completely displaced at the hot corner by 25 year old Pete Little and barring injury he's just not going to crack into the lineup. Still, you'd think he'd be a little more okay with playing for a winner than he has been. Your ire has been noted, sir! May 1: The first of the month also comes with player development updates, which, since I have most ratings turned off, there aren't that many. The highlights I see are - the aforementioned Nate Ringstad's fielding and speed actually improved a little (dude is 34 so that's pure TCR at work), Oakland OF Matt Levario saw a little decrease in his speed (which might be a blessing in disguise, as it gives me the excuse to tell the base coaches to nail his foot to the bag - Levario has 417 career HRs but missed 32 games last year and I slightly cringe every time he tries to take an extra base out there), and 1969 Royals "starter" Jorge Mota, who is now sitting in the Mets' AA farm team, saw a small decrease in his ability to play the field. I generally allow the AI to handle the minors because there's only so much I can micromanage and if they want to use this man as a pinch-hitter in AA, fine, I guess? May 1: Because I haven't written about enough today, how about some game news? I'm convinced that one reason you don't see long hitting streaks in OOTP, in addition to the fact that OOTP players are not as streaky as their real-life counterparts, is that the game will often rest a player on a streak and then bring them in as a pinch-hitter. In a "win as many games as you can" sense this makes total sense; at the same time, I think most managers, especially historically, would have kept a guy with a streak on the bench so he could get 4-5 chances to keep it going instead of just one. All of which is to say, I almost pulled an OOTP today, bringing in Danny Fager to pinch-hit for the O's in the 9th while he was carrying a 10-game hitting streak (he's currently sidelined with a minor injury). I say "almost" because Fager managed to hit a little looper just over A's second baseman Rich "Mister" Potter... May 1: You want to see an absolute unmitigated disaster? Take the Cubs, put them in the Launching Pad, and allow them to face Atlanta Braves pitching. Chicago won today 17-5 and had back-to-back-to-back jacks with 2 outs in the 9th inning off of beleaguered long reliever Sean Cokely (now 0-1, 7.36), who, to be fair, I was trying to force through 3 innings of work to end the game (he did not get there; I had to bring in Roger Evans to pitch to the last batter). 1B Antonio Lopez (.273, 6, 17), SS Jeremy Taylor (.241, 4, 13), and Jason Workman (.467, 5, 19) hit the string of longballs, and RF Adam Groves (.195, 2, 5) almost made it 4 in a row with a triple (his hit is what finally chased Cokely). The Cubs are scoring 6.6 runs per game and are on pace to easily eclipse the NL record of 875 runs scored in a season. Atlanta now has a team ERA of 5.13, falling slightly behind Montreal's at 5.11 (note: I have yet to play Montreal's game today). May 2: Red Sox set-up man Luis Flores (0-1, 6.00) got bombed last night and, since he was the last rested guy left in the 'pen, I left him in. Well, I tried to. What actually happened was, he left the game himself with injury. This morning we found out it was a strained oblique that will take him out until the 2nd half of the season. He'll have that fond memory of getting destroyed now until late July or early August. May 2: 3B Kristian Schneider (.299, 0, 9) hasn't even been with the Angels for a week and he's already left a permanent mark with the team. Today he set a new California Angels record with 5 hits and tied the AL record with 4 doubles in a 17-4 shellacking of the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Schneider, a native German who does not yet have complete command of the language, said "Ich bin ein Angel" after the game in response to all questions. The only other AL player to hit that many doubles was David Salinas, who did it with the Yankees in 1963. May 3: A couple of Yankees players expressed their discontent with their roles and I'm not really surprised. RF Frank Meneses (.286, 0, 3) wasn't really even bad last year, with a .222 average hiding middling power and a great eye. I might have to work him back in the lineup... yeah, with Ross Poynor (.230, 3, 11) struggling to open the season, that's exactly what I'm going to do. For now I'll leave Marc Ash (.250, 0, 2) as the platoon guy vs. LHPs at that position but hopefully this will make Meneses happier. As for Mike Arnaud (.167, 0, 1), he's the backup shortstop and won't see time unless / until Ty Stover (.224, 3, 10) gets hurt. I'm sure that what this is really about is that the Yankees, expected to contend in 1970, are scuffling around at 11-12. May 3: I'm not announcing every single demotion of course but jeeez... Twins reliever Todd Thiesen (0-1, 4.50) just picked up his 3rd blown save already (he has 3 saves so he's batting .500 in that department) and I'm replacing him with Pete Lynn (0-0, 2.70, 1 save). Thiesen was acquired from Cleveland in the offseason after leading the AL in saves. I guess Cleveland saw something coming that the rest of us (read: me) did not. May 3: The Senators break an 8 game losing streak in the best way possible. Chad Daugharty (2-2, 3.55) threw a no-hitter tonight against the Milwaukee Brewers. This is the second no-no already in this young season (which, offense is up, trust me!) and the third inflicted on this franchise since September of last year. Daugharty walked one and faced just two hitters above the limit (another man reached on an error by 3B Aaron Pope). May 3: This feels like it's barely news but Twins 2B Daniel Gilmet (.323, 1, 5) strained his oblique today and will miss the next month of the season. 35 year old Danny Pellot (.300, 0, 2), who once upon a time went to 5 All-Star Games, will fill in for him just like last year. May 4: Four students at Kent State University in Ohio, USA are killed and nine wounded by Ohio National Guardsmen, at a protest against the incursion into Cambodia. May 4: The Chicago Cubs' LF Jason Workman (.467, 5, 19) went 14 for 21 last week with 2 HR and 8 RBIs and that was enough to win his 9th Player of the Week honor. Really, all of Chicago hit like gangbusters over the past seven days. May 4: Yankees first baseman Alex Cardenas (.340, 5, 13) showed he has a little something left in the tank by going 15 for 31 with 3 HR and 5 RBI this past week. Cardenas, the 1st or 2nd man in A's history in nearly every major batting category, won his *22*nd such award in his career. May 4: Power rankings! 1st New York (N) 16-7 2nd Cincinnati 17-8 3rd Los Angeles 15-8 4th Baltimore 14-8 5th Kansas City 13-9 Boston is right back there at 6th (13-8), while Minnesota is all the way back at 11th (14-10) after a tough week. Atlanta (7-16) did manage to pull past Montreal and Washington to get out of the cellar at 22nd, where they're now right behind last year's near-Cinderella team the Chicago White Sox (8-14), who are 21st. The other/main Windy City club the Cubs are 7th (12-8), mostly overcoming the 4th-worst NL ERA (4.50) with the best offense in baseball (6.3 R/G). May 4: The author's father turned 22 today. I believe he was still in Vietnam, where he served on a destroyer in the US Navy (I guess technically that would put him off the coast of Vietnam), at this point in time.

Best pitches in the league - 1970
So, as a "fun" little exercise, and also because I don't really know these things because I have ratings turned off, I've decided to present a little listing of the top 5 different varieties of pitches in the league. If I decide to do this again - and why not? - I'll probably do something programmatically but for now this is just the players listed (minimum: 1/2 as many IPs as team games in April).
Best 4-Seam Fastball (movement-wise, anyway) Code:
+ -------------- + --------------- + -------- + ----------- + --------- + ------ + ------ + ------- + -------- + ---------- + | last_name | first_name | age | throws | team | w | l | Sv | era | pitch | + -------------- + --------------- + -------- + ----------- + --------- + ------ + ------ + ------- + -------- + ---------- + | Ortiz | Roberto | 24 | L | OAK | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3.54 | 186 | | Winn | John | 27 | L | ATL | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0.00 | 186 | | Castillo | Andres | 33 | R | LAD | 4 | 0 | 0 | 1.13 | 185 | | Kihara | Tanzan | 29 | L | CAL | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2.89 | 171 | | Ramos | Angelo | 34 | L | MIN | 4 | 0 | 0 | 2.47 | 168 | + -------------- + --------------- + -------- + ----------- + --------- + ------ + ------ + ------- + -------- + ---------- + Code:

May 4 - May 11
Major Transactions
------------------------ May 4: The Minnesota Twins trade SP Rich Reese (0-2, 1.96 in AAA Evansville) to the Chicago White Sox for SS Jun-ho Baek (no batting line in 1970). Baek has yet to appear for the White Sox but the South Korean national projects as a league-average shortstop, which will in turn allow the Twins to keep Danny Pellot in the backup role he's more suited to at this point in his career. This will also cause Minnesota to field the first all-Korean middle infield in MLB history. Reese started 13 games for Minnesota last year, and while he wasn't very effective (7-5, 4.84), starting pitching represents a severe sore spot for the Chisox (their 4.61 starters' ERA is dead last in the AL); he'll immediately see time out there. May 5: The Expos trade RP Cody Hunter (1-0, 5.59) to the Cardinals for minor league RP Cole Pritchard (0-2, 7.27 at AAA Tulsa). This is essentially a trade for guys who are no working at their current clubs. Not a lot to see here! News ----------------------- May 5: Angels' backup C Juan Cavasos (.083, 0, 1), who was displaced as the starter when the team traded for Mike Perez (.206, 2, 6) during the offseason, is now complaining about playing time. Perez is not doing great (although he hit 27 HRs for Cincinnati last year) so I guess I'll mix Cavazos in against RHPs a little bit more. May 6: Cardinals LF Danny Jiminez (.188, 0, 1) is also complaining about playing time. Jiminez was acquired by the Cards last July for 2B Jose Samora after having basically played his way off his old team. He hit well enough in 26 at-bats that St. Louis decided to keep him. Right now St. Louis' locker room is "content" with no real distractions or else I'd cut him loose. As it is, he's not getting into the lineup unless Lorenzo Martinez (.317, 5, 18) and knock on wood he's been mostly health so far. May 6: Orioles 2B Danny Fager (.366, 3, 13) had a great month of April but pulled up lame with a sore back on April 28. The AI has straight up refused to start him and he's gotten 1 at bat since, and to make matters worse, the injury devolved from a 1-weeker to the dreaded "unknown", so I'm going to go ahead and not waste the roster spot on him any longer. He'll head to the 21 day DL retroactive to the 3rd, which by my calculations means he'll be back on the 24th. Jorge Padilla (.286, 2, 5) has been starting in his place anyway and so now that's official. May 7: As if things couldn't get any worse for the Braves this season (they are 7-19, the worst record in baseball), they learned today that star leadoff man LF Ruberto Yebra (.289, 1, 13) will miss the next month and a half with a... hamstring strain. Rub some dirt on it, meat. 1969 11th overall pick Chris Ward has been raking in AAA (.370, 1, 7 at Richmond) and the Braves are desperate so they'll call him up and give him an extended trial out there. May 7: A's starting SS Kellen Owen (.314, 0, 5) is having a career year with the bat but is having all kinds of trouble finding first base. It came to a head today when he committed his 10th error in this short season. I can't take it anymore! Gil Wilson (.326, 1, 5), the former Pilot, will take over the starting duties from here on out. May 7: In happier A's news (in addition to the fact that they still won that game), 1B David Decker (.320, 4, 13), signed as a free agent this offseason after spending all of the 1960s and most of the 50s with the Philadelphia Phillies, rapped out his 2500th hit, a 9th inning single off of Tigers' reliever Jimmy Goddard (1-1, 3.10). This is the 4th highest total in MLB history (Fernando Rocha criminally retired in 1967 with 2,916 hits) and I place the 42 year old's chances of getting 3,000 at -10%. May 7: Cubs RP Ryan Gurley (2-2, 9.00) has been so freaking awful, I just don't know what to do with him... he's actually struck out 9 batters in 9 innings and his control hasn't even been that bad (2 BB) but opponents are hitting .366 off of him. Yes, 2021 me knows this is all BABIP, but 1970 me has to think that he's scuffling, right? I'm going to be a meanie and banish him to long relief until he figures it out. May 8: Unionized construction workers in New York City attack about 1,000 students and others protesting the Kent State shootings in what is now known as the Hard Hat Riot. May 8: The Beatles release their 12th and final album, Let It Be. It has some bangers (I'm a big fan of "Let It Be", and of course "Get Back" is on there too) but also some horribly cheesy awfulness (who ever told Paul that "The Long and Winding Road" was a good idea?). May 8: The New York Knicks win their first ever NBA championship, winning game 7 over the LA Lakers behind 36 points and 19 assists by Walt "Clyde" Frazier. Note to self: make the next big "international" guy Clyde. Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West played all 48 minutes for the Lakers in the loss. Wilt had a 20-20 game with points and rebound (21 and 24 to be exact) but shot a Shaq-like 1 for 11 from the line. YOU KNOW WHAT? I'll try and remember to do this but let's make Clyde Frazier a MLB player, and let's say that the REAL REASON the Beatles broke up was that Paul and John and maybe George and Ringo but that might be too much wanted to be baseball players. This is my save and I can do what I want!!! May 8: The Atlanta Braves, unbelievably, are the first team to 20 losses in 1970, as they lose to the Cardinals in Atlanta today 7-1. It's a bizarre mix: I expected the pitching to suffer, but not this badly (a team ERA of 5.07, a single point ahead of Montreal's 5.08, and at that the Braves have given up a bunch more unearned runs so they've actually allowed more runs per game than the Expos at 5.8 to 5.6), but the hitting has somehow been just as bad (3.6 runs per game, ahead of only Montreal at 3.3 in the NL). I don't think I've ever seen a team collapse this badly from one season to the next in OOTP. Changes are a'comin'... May 9: When you're in a big hitting slump, facing the Cardinals at the Launching Pad is one of the better cures in the league. The Braves got 2 homeruns from 1B Dante Chairez (.284, 5, 13) and the Braves just did manage to hold off St. Louis in a barn-burner, winning 13-12. Andres Rivera (1-0, 4.43) started his first game as an Atlanta Brave and was not good, giving up 6 runs in 6 1/3 innings before giving the ball up to Seth Coakley and John Winn, but he was good enough today. The NL ERA climbed to 3.94 after this one. May 10: Twins 3B Mike Brookes (.255, 1, 12), the AL HR king in 1968 (granted, only with 24 of them), finally jacked his first one of the season to tie today's game against the Senators at 7. Brookes is still drawing walks like he's a feared cleanup man but one supposes that can't last until he actually comes through on the threat a little more often... May 10: New York's Tracy Mosher (4-4, 1.64) took a perfect game into the 11th inning when Angels 1B Pete Jennings (.348, 3, 20) blew up the perfect game, the no-hitter, and the shut-out all at once by launching his 3rd homerun of the season into the stands. Three batters later, he'd also lose his win. Amazingly, in spite of his record, Mosher isn't anywhere near the bottom in run support, as the Yankees have scored runs in bunches for him for his 4 victories. May 9: The Phillies' Bobby Kelly (.115, 0, 0) wants to start. Kelly's a former Gold Glover in the outfield who doesn't hit well enough to keep a job. Even with the Phillies struggling right now I just can't see putting him in the lineup ahead of LF Paul Stewart (.336, 1, 9) or RF Andrew Powell (.351, 1, 15). Instead, I'll stick him on the trading block for now (which, since I initiate all trades, is more of a self-reminder that I want to move him) and probably cut him if he actually demands a trade himself. May 9: Tigers CF Guillermo Thompson (.339, 0, 10) was ejected and then suspended for 3 games for arguing balls and strikes with the umpire in a 5-3 loss to the Royals. Conspicuous in its absence was any show of support from his Detroit teammates... May 10 (evening): I noticed that "last week" flips over every Monday so I'm grabbing this report after all games have been played on Sunday: 1st (1st) New York (N) 20-9 2nd (4th) Baltimore 19-10 3rd (9th) Houston 19-12 4th (7th) Chicago (N) 16-10 5th (2nd) Cincinnati 20-11 The biggest mover-uppers are the Astros above, who moved up 6 spots from the week prior. Detroit (13-14) had the worst week, dropping from 10th to 16th. And the race for the #1 pick in 1971: 21st (21st) Chicago (A) 10-18 22nd (24th) Washington 9-20 23rd (23rd) Montreal 8-19 24th (22nd) Atlanta 8-21 A couple of teams you'd expect, and at this point maybe the White Sox and Braves are just bad... May 11: Padres 2B Roberto Honesto (.281, 2, 11), an early favorite for the 1970 NL Rookie of the Year award, is going to be out for the next month and a half with a herniated disc in his back. 1970 is the Year of the Back I guess. May 11: Pirates LF Justin Lawson (.352, 3, 16) wins the NL Player of the Week after lighting up the senior circuit with a .600 average (12-20) and the majority of his homeruns (2) and half his RBI (8) on the season. The Pirates didn't fare so well, getting swept by the Astros over the weekend after sweeping the suddenly crappy Braves. May 11: Washington 1B Nick DeBoer (.324, 4, 16) reacted to the new threat on his job the same way he always seems to react: by upping his game even more. The 37 year old went 8-13 with 2 dingers and 9 RBI for the week in his new platoon 1B / pinch-hitter role. Teams In Review ----------------- May 9: I'm not necessarily going to go through this for every single team in print (although TBH, again, this really helps organize my thoughts, and now that I have a monthly stat dump, these guys aren't complete unknowns to the reader) but every 20 team losses I like to review a team's roster, make changes, panic, and so on. The Braves are the first team I'm looking at and they are in full-on panic mode right now so it seemed like a good idea to go through my thought processes: Rotation - it's been just plain awful, top to bottom, like 3 of the 4 members sport ERAs higher than 5 and the one guy who doesn't lost 19 games for the A's last year. Anyway... Jake Cari (no line in 1970) just came off the DL and he was the spot starter last year so he'll pop right in there. I'll replace Felix Carranza (3-3, 5.36). Carranza is the "best" of the 3 returning starters but a. he's still bad and b. he was 9-15 with an ERA north of 4 last year. Bullpen - I sent Roger Evans (0-0, 2.70) down to AAA Richmond to make room for Cari but no further changes are forthcoming at the moment. I strongly considered cutting Victor Reyes (0-2, 6.19), as he's been singularly awful for the Braves, but the guy is still less than a year removed from looking like one of the best relievers in the AL. Otherwise, Andres Rivera (0-0, 2.81) has been one of two Braves pitchers who's actually playing well so I'm going to expand Atlanta's rotation to 5 men so I can add him in. Catcher - C Pat Molina (.191, 1, 6) is 39 and looks like he's fading fast. The current backup Pablo Rey (.294, 0, 3) is no spring chicken himself so I called Shaun Dennehy (.260, 1, 6 at Richmond) up from AAA to be the new guy going forward. Like I said, this is panic time (although Dennehy comes into the club tired and as such Molina will likely start today). First Base - Jeremy "Grab 'Em And" Holden (.163, 0, 3) was in a prolonged slump and was losing playing time so he was the guy I dropped from the roster in favor of Dennehy. Holden can try and redsicover the swing that had him hitting over .300 last year in AAA. Anyway, Dante Chairez (.274, 3, 9) deserved a full-time gig coming out of spring training anyway so he'll get it a month late. Shortstop: Ryan Dietrich (.227, 0, 0) hasn't been hitting this year but that's kind of normal and he's played mistake-free defense, too, and the Braves need that badly. He replaced Mets castoff Elijah Patton (.211, 0, 1) earlier in the year and that replacement will continue. Left Field: With Ruberto Yebra (.289, 1, 13) out long-term, I've already called up prospect Chris "Presto" Ward (the #50 prospect in baseball according to OSA) to take his place. He supplants the current backups but they're kind of trash now, especially after I traded away the good chips to shore up the pitching staff over the offseason. Center Field: Brian Dees (.194, 4, 7) is on tenuous ground but his backup Franco Panizzi (.286, 0, 1) is a good-field, no-hit guy who hit .214 in AAA last year and I'm not quite ready to call up Bill Baugher (.312, 2, 7 in his first year above AA) just yet. For now, you get to keep that gig, Brian. Start hitting singles! Right Field: Henry Riggs (.232, 2, 8) is in a horrific slump but OSA insists he's still a "franchise cornerstone" and even if he wasn't I'd probably go the Albert Pujols route with him and use him as a replacement level player until he broke 500 HRs. Anyway, I trust he'll start hitting soon.

May 11 - May 17, 1970
Major Transactions
------------------------ May 11: The Brewers trade LF Pedro Carrasco (.270, 3, 9) to the Senators for 1B Jack Holman (.296, 1, 5 in AAA Denver) and 2B Marcos Escobedo (.408, 3, 11 in AAA Denver). Carrasco wasn't breaking into the lineup but was interesting enough for the Senators to send out a couple of unneeded parts for him. Dr. Jack Holman unsuccessfully challenged Nick DeBoer for a job last year and is now surplus to their needs with the acquisition of John Skelton. Marcos Escobedo is 31 and thus not close to a prospect and is blocked at second base twice over by Joe Nyman (.270, 2, 8) and Tyler Knight (.150, 0, 6 but he won the AL GG last year). May 12: The Cubs trade C Brent Putnam (.143, 0, 0) to the Expos for C Ian Singleton (.109, 1, 2). This is almost a mercy trade for the Cubs, as Singleton looks pretty well completely done. Putnam was their starter in 1969 but hasn't been playing at all with Greg Darrow (.355, 2, 15) and he wasn't complaining but he's too nice of a guy to not have a job in this league. (note: in real life the Expos picked up Boots Day for the equivalent, Boots being a young CF who was at least somewhat of a prospect. However, the other side of that trade involved a guy who was actually useful and not done, so as it is that's probably too much to give out) May 15: The Expos purchase P Josh Young (1-3, 5.83) from the Cardinals. Young looks completely washed to me but if there's any team who has the room to figure that out for sure it's Montreal. May 15: The Expos trade CL Nate Herod (1-0, 1.80, 4 Sv) to the Yankees for minor league 1B Willie Morales (.323, 4, 22 in AAA Syracuse). Herod is not young (35!) and the Expos now have their share of mid-30s pitchers with the acquisition of Young. Also, Herod seems useful in the short term, which makes him expendable. Morales, meanwhile, is blocked in NY so wasn't getting PT any time soon. He's slightly less blocked in Montreal although of course a guy who does nothing but hit has to do a lot of the hitting in order to find work. May 16: I was trying to set up an equivalent for the Donn Clendenon trade (where the Expos traded the 1B to the Mets for a sack of youngsters) but then realized that trade was from 1969, not 1970. I then freaked out, thinking I had the wrong year up on BBRef but nope, they got the year wrong themselves for that particular deal. GAME BORKEN I QUITE anyway nothing happened today. News ----------------------- May 11: Bad - well, at least mixed - news for San Diego as LF Davin Henderson (.250, 4, 9) injured his shoulder trying to throw a runner out from left field today. I say it's mixed because it does give the Padres the opportunity to finally give 1B/LF Carlos Gomez (.333, 2, 7) a chance to show if he can hit in a string of starts. Gomez was used as a pinch-hitter and occasional backup last year and this one but never found a way to crash into the lineup in spite of being arguably San Diego's best pure hitter since the inception of its franchise. Also, I hadn't noticed this but San Diego had signed 1B John Chapman (.241, 5, 20), the 4-time All-Star who lost his job with the Yankees last year and then was cut coming out of spring training this year. He'll be half of a platoon with incumbent Diego Garcia (.243, 3, 7) going forward. May 11: SS Marty Mendel (no record in 1970) is back from a fractured ulna and so the Minnesota Twins end their experiment with the all-Korean middle infield. Jun-Ho Baek (.211, 1, 6), recently acquired from the White Sox, goes to the bench; Dong-Hak Park (.179, 1, 6) stays at the keystone for the sake of continuity but his days as a starter are numbered, as Daniel Gilmet (.323, 1, 5) is a lock to reclaim that spot once he returns from his own injury. May 12: The 1976 Winter Olympics are awarded to Denver, Colorado (note: they will withdraw in 1972 and those Olympics will be played in Austria instead). May 12: The 7-21 Braves win 2 in a row and take the series against the Cubs with a 7-6 win in 11 innings. Both of these things are feats that have now been accomplished twice by Atlanta this season. Also, Henry Riggs belted 2 HRs; happily, he's no longer in the midst of a huge power outage and I don't have to worry if he's going to get stalled in the mid-400s in homers (he has 444 in his career). May 13: Twins 1B Brandon Samuels (.158, 0, 0) is demanding a role in the starting lineup. Samuels only plays first base, is 39 years old, and is backing up the reigning MVP. You can go look for a starting job in Tidewater or somewhere, Brandon. Good luck in your journey! May 13: Dodgers 3B Brian Maccioli (.184, 3, 8) goes down for the next 3 weeks with an oblique strain. It's almost a mercy injury, as Maccioli has been completely outclassed hitting cleanup this year. 22 year old Gustavo Reyna (.253, 0, 6 at Albuquerque) wasn't really lighting up AA but he seems like the best man in the organization right now and, well, he can't possibly do worse than Maccioli so far... May 15: Cleveland Indians reliever Bob Reyes (0-3, 5.28) is complaining about his usage. As with Samuels, I feel like this is a guy in need of reality therapy. I guess in his case there aren't amazing players in front of him in the bullpen, but... very little about him indicates to me that he should be in the starting rotation as he wants to be. Maybe I'll give him a spot start or two if someone gets hurt. May 15: Red Sox P Marco Sanchez (4-2, 3.51) went 10 innings and tied the AL extra-innings record with 13 strikeouts in that time. Predictably, the Red Sox were barely able to scratch up enough run support for him all game long and he left with a no-decision (the Sox won eventually after Bob Reyes (see above!) lost his 4th game in relief this season in the 14th. May 16: Speaking of reality therapy, Braves 2B Danny Naranjo (.182, 0, 1) asked for a trade, which, given that he's 35 and has zero value, is getting "traded" to the circular file. May 16: Yikes! A second Braves player is demanding a trade and a second Braves player is just going to get cut for his troubles. SS Elijah Patton (.211, 0, 1), who was brought in to challenge incumbent Ryan Dietrich (.230, 0, 0) but only proved to be a poorer hitting and fielding version of him, has asked his way out of the team and will get his wishes. The Braves are also eating roughly $70k in payroll to dump those guys (reserve clause!) but man, you've got to do what you've got to do about clubhouse chemistry and, let's face it, the team doesn't need mid-30s middle infielders the way this season is going. May 16: And Padres 1B John Chapman (.182, 2, 3), who's been on the roster all of a week, wants to start. This guy at least has a point. Okay, John, the universe has cut enough old men today. You can be the one who gets to prove himself. May 16: Orioles stopper Montay Luiso (2-1, 0.46, 7 Sv) gave up his first run allowed all season... on a walk-off bases loaded single by the Senators pitcher Gabe Slaughter (1-0, 0.00). Talk about tough luck. Baltimore has now lost 3 in a row. May 16: This isn't exactly an achievement per se but I wanted to point out that after going the first month and a half of the year in a homerun drought, Twins 3B Mike Brookes (.262, 3, 17) has now hit 3 in his last 4 games. The probability gods, they are fickle. May 16: Is it too early to watch the pennant race? The NL West saw the Cincinnati Reds jump out to a huge early start. Well, now they've lost 6 out of their last 7 and the Astros just squeaked ahead of them by half a game at 22-14 (Cincy is 21-14). Houston's magic number is now... 127. Yes, it is too early to watch the pennant race... May 17: Washington 2B Jeremy "The Vowel" Rzepka (.320, 0, 3), who couldn't hold onto the expansion job in Seattle last season, is so fed up with the lack of playing time that he's demanding to be released. Well, he's demanding to be traded but you know what that means... I'd even consider keeping him on until they find a buyer but a. nobody wants to buy Rzepka, and b. the clubhouse is probably only content because I apparently accidentally turned off chemistry at some point this year. Anyway, Rzepka was 33 and surplus to requirements anyway. May 17: Cubs OF Alex Vallejo (.349, 0, 2) wants to start and has a pretty decent case for it. He was Philly's starter in right last year and the Cubs' guy this year, Adam Groves (.193, 3, 8) is struggling. Still, Groves was a beast in 1968 before he missed all of 1969 with a concussion and I think it's still his job to lose at this point. That said, I'm going to start working Vallejo into the lineup a bit in both CF and RF to show those boys I mean business! Which, the Cubs' lineup is definitely not their issue this year but the more guys with at-bats, the more potential trade chips for a starting pitcher or something. May 17: Thor Heyerdahl, the Kon-Tiki guy, is at it again. The professional adventurer, who sailed across the Pacific Ocean in 1947 in a raft to prove that it was possible for people from Asia to migrate by sea to the Americas, sets off from Morocco on a boat called Ra II to prove a similar point with the ancient peoples of the Mediterranean and the American supercontinent. As you might guess from the name, this is their second attempt; the first failed when their boat took on water and broke apart around 100M before they reached the Caribbean Islands. May 17: Weird schedule today, with 3 doubleheaders (that part isn't weird since it is a Sunday) but only 5 games in the AL (including 2 of the doubleheaders) and 6 in the NL (with the other one). That adds up to a third of the teams in the league getting an unexpected day off. I was able to find out that NYC had half an inch of rain on this day, so I guess there was some kind of big storm that hit the Northeast but I wasn't able to find any specific articles on the subject. Anyway, this is TBH part of why I prefer playing the as-played schedules to the original ones. I don't plan things like rotations out in advance - too much micro when I'm GMing the entire league - so these occurrences pop up in these relentless schedules like a bad swimmer resurfacing for a second to take a gasp of air before falling under water again. On the other hand, these games will be made up, which means someone's August is going to have like 33 games in it... May 17 (evening): Power rankings galore! 1st (1st) New York (N) 23-11 2nd (5th) Cincinnati 23-14 3rd (8th) California 20-15 4th (11th) Minnesota 20-14 5th (7th) Boston 19-13 20th (6th) Kansas City 16-18 21st (17th) Cleveland 12-17 22nd (14th) Milwaukee 15-21 23rd (23rd) Montreal 11-22 24th (24th) Atlanta 12-23 Cincy was struggling but righted the ship at the end of the week - playing Atlanta (this year) will do that for you - and wrapped up as the 2nd best team. California and Minnesota leapt waaay up; the converse of that were the two AL West expansion teams having the biggest drops (Milwaukee was 14th last week but fell to 22nd and KC had an even bigger drop, going from 6th to 20th). Actually I take that back... the Chicago Cubs fell from 4th to 16th, so the former Seattle Pilots had "only" the 3rd biggest plunge. Teams In Review ----------------- May 11: Washington (9-20, last in the AL East) just missed losing 90 games for their 5th straight season, so it's not a huge surprise that they're going to need a review so early. Their badness is pretty much on all fronts: dead last in the AL (and I'm sure in baseball) in runs scored, 3rd from the bottom in runs allowed. The defense has been OK though (5th in ZR, 4th in defensive efficiency, 5th in errors). Rotation: Washington has a couple of youngsters who look more or less ready to go in AAA so it's time to cut bait on a couple of the older guys in there. If you're over 30, why are you pitching for this team? First up, LHP Dale Parks (1-2, 5.49) was a swingman for the expansion Pilots last year and so far as a starter is looking a lot better as a lefty specialist. For now, I'm going to choose to stick with RHP Brian Bruno (0-5, 6.37) on account of him still being just a year removed from posting a 2.88 ERA for this team. He's also only 27 so there's at least some reason to think he'll bounce back and/or improve. The team also has 24 year old LHP DJ Marrone (no record in 1970) just starting out a rehab assignment after missing almost a calendar year with a... stretched elbow ligament (really?). He was good in 1968 (5-8, 3.28, which, fine, is average for the Year of the Pitcher but DO THEY KNOW THIS!?) and solid enough at AAA Buffalo last season (4-4, 3.03) that he'd surely have earned a call-up if he hadn't gotten hurt. Anyway, he'll probably displace someone once his time rehabbing is done. Bullpen: LHP Danny Mojica (1-0, 6.97) has not been good this year and is too old for the team to wait for him to sort things out. He gone. The rest of the bullpen is at least somewhat young-ish and Mojica is really the only member who's gotten bombed. The bullpen ERA is middle of the pack at 3.07; these guys look more like potential trade chips than people to shuffle down to AAA. First Base: I'm sorely tempted and am giving in at least somewhat to the temptation of granting Nick DeBoer (.324, 4, 15) a bigger share of the 1B time after winning that Player of the Week award. John Skelton (.288, 4, 17) is still the regular starter vs. RHP but DeBoer is cutting into that a bit now. This arrangement should have them splitting 1B at-bats about 50/50. Third Base: Given that the team is going nowhere and they just traded off their franchise 3B, it's time to bring up some prospects. Rob Curran (.297, 2, 9 for AA Pittsfield) was the team's 9th overall pick last year and is hitting well enough in AA that I think he deserves a chance. And I mean it's not like the team's going to be hurting if he's not quite ready yet. Scouting reports indicate that he's already a better shortstop than Justin Ramey (.400, 1, 2 in 3 games since coming back from an injury) but Ramey's the incumbent, he can't play third, and the team also paid dearly for him last season. Right Field: Manuel Alvarez (.208, 0, 9) is a 3 time All Star who played 152 games for the Senators last year. The problem is, he's 35, the last of those All-Star appearances was 5 years ago now, and he's not anywhere near good enough as a fielder to justify the bad corner-OF numbers he's been putting up the last season and a half. Alvin Romero (.333, 0, 8) needs to play somewhere and at least CF Ian Everett (.091, 0, 2) can play the field at Gold Glove levels of quality. May 12: Unbelievably, Montreal (8-20, last in the NL East) is only the 3rd team I've done a review on. It's not for lack of trying, as they are dead last in the NL with 3.5 runs scored per game and 3rd from the bottom with 5.6 allowed (St. Louis and Atlanta are worse; you've seen Atlanta and I'm sure I'll be getting to St. Louis soon). That said, I'm not actually sure there's much to do with this team. They're an expansion club and there's not a great deal of talent in the organization at large. Rotation: Javier Olvera (2-1, 3.52 at AAA Buffalo) got called up like a week ago and I just forgot about him. This is (part of) why I do these things. He'll jump into the rotation in place of Kareem Robinson (0-5, 7.16), who barely got into it into the first place and was new levels of bad this year. Phil Farr (1-5, 4.81) has been pretty bad himself and is also 34 but he was also the closest thing the team had to a staff ace last season (which, he was 7-21 and by "ace" I mean his ERA was slightly below 4) so he'll get a few more starts to try to work things out. Bullpen: Cole Pritchard (0-2, 7.27) was acquired in a trade last week but I completely forgot he had a major league contract so I let him go through the DFA time without putting him on waivers so I could send him down. Instead, even though he doesn't deserve it, he'll get a few appearances in the majors for his new team, I guess. There are a couple guys in there - LH stopper Nate Herod (1-0, 2.08, 3 saves) and RH setup man Trevor Munro (0-0, 2.19) - who are actually pitching pretty well (well, superficially, which is the best type of officially!) and so I expect to lean on them / try to move them for something that might help in the future. Catcher: I've mostly already made this transition but C Ian Singleton (.109, 1, 2) has been terrible in 55 at-bats since coming over from San Francisco and so Montreal turns back to last year's guy Roberto Carranco (.233, 2, 5). Singleton's been an improvement defensively, having thrown out 48% of runners trying to steal so far this year, but there's only so far that an arm can take you. Outfield: 1B/OF Gabe Martinez (.342, 0, 3) has been doing his best Carlos Gomez impression in Montreal but while he's been getting a little bit of PT with injuries I just don't see him cracking into the lineup at the moment. He's reportedly already angry, although I haven't seen him demand a job or a trade just yet. May 14: These always seem to come in bunches... anyway, the Chicago White Sox (10-20, last in the AL West) nearly had themselves a Cinderella season last year but so far this year they're just plain terrible. The pitching has been very, very bad (2nd worst in the league in runs allowed) where it was kind of supposed to be a strength, and the offense, which wasn't great last year, has fallen further (now 8th in the AL). Rotation: There may not be a huge amount of change here because I've already shuffled things around a bit... right now the biggest question mark I see is that Gene Lueders (2-3, 6.26), the 24 year old finesse pitcher who was 12-10 with a 3.39 ERA last season, has been very, very bad. In fact, he just got knocked out of the box in Detroit yesterday, which all by itself raised his seasonal ERA by almost a run. He's weirdly striking out a lot more people than last year (6.7 K/9 compared to 3.9 in '69) but that's being outweighed by horrible control (4.8 BB/9) and a lot of dingers (7 HR in 41.2 IP). Still, I think I'm going to leave him in there for now in the hopes he finds his control. He's on watch, though! Bullpen: LH Kien-Lung Hui (1-3, 4.38) filled in the rotation a lot so far (5 starts, equalling last year's total) and he's probably the first guy back in the rotation if Leuders or recent call-ups Rich Reese (0-1, 16.20) and Tim Anderik (0-1, 4.15) get bombed. Mostly the bullpen's struggles seem to come from the top, where 24 year old Malcolm Post (1-4, 5.28, 3 Sv) has been blowing up on the regular. Like Leuders, I'm reticent to drop him because he was really good last year - a 2.21 ERA in 105.1 innings and 28 saves, the 2nd highest total in the AL - but he's also on my list. Catcher: Danny Coyle (.127, 1, 7) was supposed to replace Mario Moreno when the long-time catcher retired after the season. He has been in a bad slump and while these happen, it's gone on for too long and the White Sox need production. Nick McIntyre (.259, 0, 2) had been slowly moving into being the lefty half of a platoon out there and now it's official. Third base: Jordan Wooten (.205, 3, 7) looks like he's lost his way, which happens to 38 year olds. 29 year old Omar Dominguez is the closest the team has to a young alternative at the position. He'll start from here on out. I expect that will not make Wooten or his platoon-mate Ivan de Velasco (.094, 0, 1) happy, but... if they complain, they can always retire. Right field: The Sox traded for RF Josh Wade (.274, 0, 8) expecting him to be enough of an offensive upgrade over Jun Kim to overcome Kim's Gold Glove quality fielding. Instead, he's hit an empty .274. I don't see anything good to pull him out of the lineup yet per se (also he's relatively young at 26) but I will start to mix OF Chris Fonseca (.375, 0, 2) and OF Kyle Daly (.143, 1, 1) a bit more into the mix at that position. Given that the other two positions in the OF are manned by White Sox mainstays Willie Vargas (.347, 2, 22) and Tom Brown (.292, 3, 18), this is the only way either of those guys are going to get regular playing time. May 15: It's time to review the San Diego Super Padres! Well, fine, they're not all that super, although offensively they actually haven't been that bad (4th in the NL in runs scored, thanks in large part to being first in the senior circuit in homeruns). Pitching and defense... is another matter (2nd worst in the NL in runs allowed, 10th in starter ERA, dead last in errors). Rotation: LH Alejandro Rodriguez (1-1, 5.00) and LH Ji-man Im (4-2, 4.44) have not pitched well so far and the Pads are still in "trying to figure out who's any good" mode, so they're remanded into the bullpen. Taking their place in the rotation are RH Erik Schnipke (0-0, 0.47), who's been lights-out as their stopper this season and LH Francisco Ortega (0-0, 2.93). Let's see what sticks. Bullpen: So, um... the bullpen is leading the NL in ERA right now with a 2.47 mark. What? The proper response to this is to move people who can start out of this place and use them to shore up the ol' rotation. Chris Valenzuela (1-0, 2.87) has pitched well this year and was pretty decent in middle relief last year as well so he'll be the new stopper. I'll set Ji-man Im as the designated left-handed out getter based on being a little above replacement level for like 60% of the season in 1969. Catcher: Adam Bakke (.188, 0, 4) hasn't hit at all but he's pretty far and away the best defensive catcher in the organization and defense is an issue right now so he keeps his job. Center Field: I am not a fan of much of any aspect of Tyler Mitchell's (.222, 5, 15) game, from his iffy defense to the lack of average or on-base ability, but there is basically nobody else in the organization right now who is ready to play regular center field in the major leagues. Cody Slater (.229, 3, 5), last year's backup, is the closest but he's an even worse fielder than Mitchell (Mitchell is rated 55/80 in CF but does have a -2.4 ZR; Slater is a 45/80, which is generally below my threshold to start a player at a primary defensive position).
