With the roster expanded to 40 players, I brought up draft pick SP Steve Cholmondeley. He rose quickly up to AAA and had been there awhile. He pitched that last game against the Yanks. 6.0 IP, 3 ER, 2 K

Notable Stats for the month of August
Our best hitter was LF Endy Chavez, who hit for .344 for the month (90 AB). Our worst was C Ronny Paulino, hitting only .168 on 101 AB. If I had another catcher to try out, i would. Matt Wieters won't be back until late October, and we won't be playing anymore by then. Might as well bring up the two other catchers and see what they can do.

As far as OBP, 1B Joe Mahoney gets the nod there with a .407 OBP. Chavez only got walked 3 times (struck out 7), while Mahoney got walked 17 times (struck out 15). Our strike out king was out DH (1B) Wilson Betemit with 40 (AVG of .221, OBP of .322. He was walked 16 times as well). Most HRs, Joe Mahoney with 9. Most RBI, Joe Mahoney with 18. Most runs, Joe Mahoney with 22. Most hits, not Joe Mahoney. That would be 2B Robert Andino with 34 (Mahoney had 33).

Slugging goes to 3B Mark Reynolds with .659, who also led in wOBA with .444. Wins over replacement player, and I have no idea how this is calculated, goes to 2B Robert Andino with 3.2. Mahoney second with 2.6 and Reynolds and Hardy tied for third with 2.3.

Jason Hammel had the best pitching record for the month at 3-1. MR Hong-Chih Kuo had the best ERA for the month, giving up 5 ER in 18.0 IP. Best starter was Zach Britton with 12 ER in 36.0 IP. Best batting average given up was MR Luis Ayala with .149 in 13.1 IP. Best HR/9 was Kuo with 0.5, but Ayala had the best H/9 with 4.7. BB/9, Tommy Hunter with 0.6, Best K/9 MR Kevin Gregg with 15.1

Best WAR, SP Zach Britton with 3.6, Jake Arrieta was second with 2.5 and SP Wei-Yin Chen was third with 2.4.

SP Jake Arrieta, Zach Britton and Jason Hammel all had 3 quality starts in August. Pedro Strop had 6 saves
