State of the Diamond address
We place two of our players on the leader boards for the first time as Eddie Ingram is 2nd in the majors in hitting, trailing just Cesar Cedeno (.350) and TC Crooks is tied for third in wins with several pitchers behind Larry Dierker of the Astros (10) and Pat Dobson of the Mets (9). Cincinnati recovered from a horrendous start, but still has double digits to make up on red hot Houston, who boasts the best record in Baseball. Other leaders include Nate Colbert (SD) with 14 homeruns, Bob Oliver (KC) with 43 RBI, Lou Brock (STL) with 19 steals and Darrell Evans (ATL) who has drawn 38 walks. The Cardinals Steve Carlton has a 1.17 ERA and Joe Coleman (Texas) has taken over the strikeout lead with 89.

Top Performances
• Eddie Ingram continues to impress hitting .322 for the month of May and currently sporting the 2nd best average (.332) in the major leagues.
• Young Will Brown is handling Triple A pitching well as hw hits close to .390 in May.

• TC Crooks has been moved to the Bullpen as he works through his arm injury, allowing Ivan Carrillo to get a taste of being a major league starter.
• Ollie Brown takes over the starting job in CF for San Diego from Frank Justice after the latter hurts his groin.
• Al Mighty takes over from Enzo Hernandez as the Padres starting SS, as the youth movement is in full effect.
• Big League pitching catches up to Otto Sevihn as he hits just .168 in May.
• Willis Wilson only hits .570 in May, he deserves to stay banished to Double A.
• After slugging 8 round trippers in April, Pedro Gonzalez doesn’t go deep a single time in May.
