July II Sim run

Game date: 7/31/2016

Today is the trade deadline. All trades must be completed before the next sim, or must wait until the offseason.

That said, who uploaded?

Brookyln
Cleveland
Hickory
Houston
Los Angeles
Maui
New York
Ohio
Seattle

Who's in first?

Adams Division - Cleveland is 13 games up on both Hickory and River Cities
Zotti Division - Seattle is five games up on both Ohio and Saskatoon
Signorino Division - Maui is a whopping 28 games up on New York

Since two of the three divisions are fairly safely decided, let's start asking, who's leading the wild card chase?

Ohio and Saskatoon are tied, both four games up on Hickory and River Cities

Who was awesome?

Los Angeles 1B Michael Slye was Player of the Week on 7/18
Danville 3B Brian "Enrico" Palazzo was Player of the Week on 7/25
Maui's Kevin Kepner 2-hit Brooklyn on 7/18
Seattle's Jaime Cruz 2-hit Ohio on 7/28
Ohio's Lincoln Rossetti (an original 2002 player -- he was on my Stockholm team, by the way) collected his 2000th career hit on 7/18
Maui's Jason Lefebvre had five hits against Los Angeles on 7/21

Who got hurt?

A few week-to-week injuries, but the big injury this sim is Brooklyn catcher, Beau Manning, who tore his achille's tendon and is lost for the rest of 2016.

What's next?

A special sixteen-day sim next weekend by Zev, featuring the processing of all last-minute trades, and the last games of July and the first fifteen days of August. I'll be unavailable, by the way, the next two weekends so it's all-Zev, all-the-time.
