GM DIARY: End of may. It's been now 2 months of baseball in the new ABL league. The Jokers are first in their division. The secret of success: making points. Bats are really hot since the beginning of the season. Troy Tracy flirt with .400, St.John is in the top 5 RBI's and we got good production from Jennings, Stevens and Wells. In that department, everything is OK. For the pitching part, it's another story. We don't have any concern about Maurice "Gouldenboy" Gould but the others SP are a bit unproven. If we could have depth, Bob "the professor" Magee and Roberto "Jumbo" Gonzalez would have started in AAA. Since a new team can't be strong everywhere, we rushed these two in major.
The surprise right now is the professor. At only 21, he lead the team with 7 wins. Since the beginning of the season, he only had one bad start, against San Francisco. He compete hard, even if he lack experience but he learn quickly. He's definitly going to be an ace in a couple of season. For now, he gives us more then we could ask. So, the young number 19 of the Jokers is a prospect to watch closely. With the tips and the exemple of Gould, he will have a strong mentor to learn.
Bob Magee is unknown now but the professor will soon be a fan favorite here in Vegas.
