Well I am glad you are still following along. I do plan on spending more time posting and playing as the M's in the future, but right now I am enjoying the AAA games, and the storyline. Trust me if the M's perform in my franchise like they are in real life, then Wedge and Jack will be fired, and Ryno and Deuce will be getting called up to the Show sooner then later.

Grady was a risk and at first struggled, but his 3 HR's at the end of the month in 44 AB's puts him 5th on the team in Total HR and 1st in HR per AB. In fact I only have 7 guys on the M's with more HR's and his totals are better then M. Saunders who has 2 HR in 122 AB's. So if he can improve a little in the Avg cat, he will probably be a good pickup.

STATS ARE AS OF JUNE 4TH
(Games Back)

Pacific North
Tacoma Rainiers 34-26
Reno Aces 32-27 (1.5)
Salt Lake Bee's 31-28 (2.5)
Colorado Springs Sky Sox 30-29 (3.5)

PACIFIC SOUTH
Las Vegas 51's 39-20
Tucson Padres 33-26 (6.0)
Fresno Grizzlies 27-32 (12.0)
Sacramento River Cats 22-38 (17.5)

AMERICAN NORTH
Iowa Cubs 38-21
Memphis Red Birds 38-21
Nashville Sounds 31-28 (7.0)
Omaha Storm Chasers 21-38 (17.0)

AMERICAN SOUTH
Round Rock Express 34-25
Albuquerque Isotopes 27-32 (7.0)
New Orleans Zephyrs 21-38 (13.0)
Oklahoma City Red Hawks 15-44 (19.0)

Like the AL West the Pacific Coast North is a battle with just 3.5 games between 1st and last. The Iowa Cubs are one of the hottest teams in AAA right now having won 11 straight to move into a 1st place tie in the American North. Both Sourthern Divisions seem to be a 2 team race as Fresno and Sacremento are double digits out in the Pac-South and New Orleans and Oklahoma City are in the American South.

Yeah, that must be an oversight in OSFM, lol. Believe me, if there were someone like that who really was an A prospect, you'd have heard of him before. Chris Owings and Didi Gregorius are the only good SS's in that farm system.

It COULD be a real player that OSFM just messed the POT.

I don't think so. I googled his name and I went through the Diamondbac
ks 40 man roster and Top-25 prospects. I know in years past, some of the roster creators would put in a guy in the roster file to prove they were the ones who created it, instead of having others claim it was theirs.

I know there are guys in FA that are international guys, but I figure if he as a WBC guy he would at least be on Google.

[Deuce2223]

Also noted. I post the standing for the International League for those guy's who follow AAA and what to know how their teams are doing, but I am not going to take the time to do the stat leaders so if you want to know a certain player just let me know.

MAJOR LEAGUE STANDINGS (June 4th)
(Games Back)

EAST
Tampa Bay Ray's 36-22
Toronto Blue Jay's 34-24 (2.0)
Boston Red Sox 34-25 (2.5)
Baltimore Orioles 28-29 (7.5)
New York Yankees 25-33 (11.0)

CENTRAL
Detroit Tigers 41-15
Kansas City Royals 33-23(8.0)
Chicago White Sox 30-28 (12.0)
Minnesota Twins 28-29 (13.5)
Cleveland Indians 28-30 (14.0)

WEST
Texas Rangers 28-29
Seattle Mariners 28-30 (.5)
Los Angeles Angels 28-31 (1.0)
Oakland A's 27-32 (2.0)
Houston Astros 21-37 (7.5)

The Tigers are flat out running away with the Central, leaving the other 4 teams battling for a Wildcard spot. In the East it is amazing to continue to see New York in last place and almost with the AL's worst record (they love Houston). Tampa, Boston and Toronto will battle for the division title with the other 2 joining the Wildcard at this point.

It's crazy to think at the beginning of the season, most talked like a wildcard would come from the AL West, but instead it's a 4 team race for the division. That fact the M's are 2 games below .500 and only a .5 game out is unreal, but their 28-30 record puts them 6.0 out of a wildcard spot, so at this point I think we will have to win the division.

EAST
Washington Nationals 35-22
Philadelphia Phillies 28-30 (7.5)
New York Mets 25-32 (10.0)
Atlanta Braves 24-34 (11.5)
Miami Marlins 23-35 (12.5)

CENTRAL
St Louis Cardinals 34-24
Milwaukee Brewers 33-24 (.5)
Cincinnati Reds 33-25 (1.0)
Chicago Cubs 24-33 (9.5)
Pittsburgh Pirates 23-36 (11.5)

WEST
Arizona Diamondbacks 33-25
Los Angeles Dodgers 27-29 (5.0)
San Diego Padres 26-31 (6.5)
San Francisco Giants 25-32 (7.5)
Colorado Rockies 23-36 (10.5)

The Central continues to be super competitive with just 1 game separating the Top 3 teams. Let's face it Cubs and Pirates fans we are use to seeing our teams in last place and out of the race by June.

Like the Tigers in the AL Central, the Nationals are running away with the NL East, leaving Philly headed to the Wildcard race, to battle whatever central teams don't win the division

The NL West is like the AL West, other then Colorado/Houston, it's still anyone's to win, the way this division changes standings each month. Arizona is 3-7 in their past 10 games. Whoever doesn't win will try and join the wildcard hunt, but at this point the Dodgers are 5.0 games out of each spot, so the divison probably should be their goal.
