1/3 Pole update

The season's about a third of the way done- let's check on the Halfwits and the minor league squads:

Major Leagues

After a hot start, the Halfwits have not played well. The bright spots on offense are RF Jonathan Foster (.326-.378-.609), with 13 HRs and 54 RBI, and 3B Kelvin Franco, who is 2nd in the NL with 19 HRs. The pitching staff is led by hotshot rookie callup Gordon Forest, who is still searching for his first big league win but has a 2.25 ERA and the league is only hitting .141 off him in his first 3 starts. Like Forest, J.T. Inge and Paul Bong have both been solid although they don't have the wins to show for it. In the bullpen, Skip Eveland has been solid since taking over the closer's role.

AAA

The AAA club is only 2 games back of first, albeit below .500. 3B prospct Edward Osting is off to a hot start, hitting .297 with 9 homers and 36 RBI.

AA

In AA, prospects Kevin Millwood (2B), Paulie Figueroa (CF), and Billy Coleman (SS) have hit the ball well but have yet to show much power.
