Mepkin Abbey's Esteban Vargas will miss six weeks with a strained oblique.
Appalachian's Mike Roberts has a sprained wrist and will ride the pine for 4-5 weeks.

Odd Injury of the Sim:
Appalachian Valley has to do a better job of keeping the water off the playing field in their International Complex.  C Cesar Villereal is out for a week with a bruised thigh after he was attacked by a shark.  I think they also need to beef up their security... apparently they'll let anyone on the field. :)

Milestones: None

Batting Line of the Sim:
Maui's Don Jones went 3-5 with 2 HR, 4 R and 5 RBI  and a walk vs. Wilmington (5/29)

Pitching Line of the Sim:
Philadelphia's Juan Santiago pitched a three hit shutout with 2 BB and 8 K vs. Appalachian (5/31)

Amateur Draft:
The next sim will include the amateur draft.  Please take a moment and double check the Traded Draft Picks List before the draft and make sure that all draft picks that you are supposed to receive are listed there.  I will be working off of that list when I conduct the draft.  Complaints of missing draft picks will not be entertained after the draft.

Answer to Last Week's Trivia Question:
Michael and Fred correctly deduced that the list was the list of switch hitters who won the MVP and that the missing members of the group were Pete Rose and Vida Blue.

This Week's Trivia Question:
Who were the last two members of the Hall of Fame to play in a game for the St. Louis Browns?

Next sim:  Next *Thursday* night (we'll return to Wednesday the following sim)
