Big Month for RL Rookie
Monday, June 1st, 2054: Youngster Bartolo Aquino emerged as the latest Republic League Rookie of the Month today. The young man from Cleveland deserved the honor, batting .370 with 1 home run and 14 runs batted in. Is the month of May a harbinger of things to come or just a fluke? We'll find out someday, but for now, we'll just let Aquino enjoy the limelight.

Aquino is presently hitting at a .322 pace with 1 home run and 15 RBIs. He has played in 43 games and scored 25 times.


Rodríguez Voted CL's #1 Rookie
Monday, June 1st, 2054: José Rodríguez earned May's Rookie of the Month honors in the Continental League for last month's performance. The boyish Plantana third baseman might be wet behind the ears, but he's proving that he has what it takes to play at this level.

Rodríguez hit .336 with 2 home runs, 28 RBIs and 16 runs scored this past month on his way to winning the award.

In 51 games this season Rodríguez has batted at a .341 pace with 73 hits and 4 home runs.
