The Planetary Extreme Baseball Alliance

It's a crowded outfield in San Juan with Rick Wilson and Robin Baldwin set to come off the disabled list. The team will have eight outfielders and some tough decisions with Wilson and Ed Lee being Rule 5 draftees. One of the players on the bubble, Michael Drew, won back-to-back extra-inning games with sacrifice flies last week. It's uncertain, however, whether his ability to hit a fly ball will salvage a .196 batting average. While Drew is out of options, Okitsugu Shimuzu (.218) could be a candidate for demotion. Rumors are GM Mike Best would like to see more of recent call-ups Estaban Miranda and Dean Walden based on their 2024 AAA numbers and past big league success. Don't be surprised if the high-priced Baldwin winds up on the waiver wire.

FROM THE MINORS: Steven Jackson's 37-inning scoreless streak came to an end Aug. 6 in a rainy, 49-degree day loss in Angoon. He survived a 70-minute rain delay in the second but then gave up 3 runs in the fourth and another 3 in the eighth. The Homer pitcher, a 2nd round draft pick, benefited from a strong centerfield wind in his next start in Anchorage, a 5-2 victory. He is now 6-1 with a 0.99 e.r.a.


---sorry folks, still trying to figure out the urls

Drew looks like fine to me. By the by, there has been some incessant croaking recently just outside my window, perhaps a 1/2 game back or so. Could I trouble you to relocate slightly farther aback the division lead?

Your two teams are sure making a run for the division lead! It is fun to watch!

Not sure if Drew should take that as a voice of support or an insult. Sorry to hear about Castro btw, but I guess I'm nine years late on that.

Things are not always as they appear ...
