Inconstancy, that's the word who describe the most the season of the Jokers. Except Maurice Gould, who shine as the best SP of the league, the others players are just so-so. After going 5-0 in Montreal and Minnesota, the Jokers felt 1-6 to rebound with a 4-3 and 4-2 weeks. The only positive things is that the division leader is still close (only 3 games) and Las Vegas can hope to be at the top at the end of september. Bob Rudyard came back from injury and pitched very well but the team loose is best hitter, Colin St.John. Even if it's a big blow, the team need to start winning more regularly and let the excuse aside, all team have injury. Just look Maple who still in first place with most of his starting rotation on the clinic.
Las vegas could hope for a comeback and win his division but right now, we can consider them a legitimate contender for the cup. So, that leave GM Neveu in a difficult position. Does he start trading some good vets to rebuild some part of the team or he continue with his current lineup and hope Jennings, Stevens, Smith and his relief start to play better. We really thing that every player over 30 could be deal for the right price... With many teams who can legitimely believe to bring home the cup, maybe a Kevin Carey or a Bob Rudyard could be the missing piece... We really thing that the GM could move if he receive a good 2B, 3B or young SP...
On the market????
