He's never going to win an Outstanding Hitter award, and would be lucky even to be named player of the week, but still, David Rivard deserves some recognition for keeping my offense churning in the midst of injuries to Brian Frison, Michael Fay, and John Sadao.
Rivard wasn't even on my major-league roster to begin the year, but made the most of his opportunity when 5th OF Maxwell Teixeira got injured in spring training (and was later released).

Some Notes for the Next Sim
Firstly, Seattle and Saskatoon are no longer tied!
Secondly, the next sim will be Saturday night, August 4. That's in about a week and a half.
Thirdly, the next sim is the last one before the trading deadline, so make sure you get those trades in.
Lastly, we've heard from Mark, so I've taken the Denver team off of computer control.

New York and Walla Walla trade
Monday, July 8, 2010: New York's GM is pleased to announce the acquisition today of OF Richard Bilbrey from Walla Walla, in exchange for minor league SP Danny Andrews.
"With the season ending injury to Juan David, we needed another outfielder, and Richard fits the bill perfectly. He's got proven major league skills, with 26 home runs last year and a .590 SLG in limited playing time this year. He slots right in in left right now for us. He's just entering the prime of his career now.
"Danny Andrews is a heck of a chip to give up in return - one of the top young SP prospects in the game. But with Freddy Thomas and Josh Giddings also in our system, we were in a position of strength there. I feel this trade should meet the needs of both teams."
