In the east, the Yankees (MFL536) had a great week going 17-4 propelling them to a league best record of 51-30. The Yankees rattled off a very impressive 14 game winning streak, winning each game by an average of 4 runs. Only two of the wins were by 1 run during the streak. The Yankees took the lead in the east and now have a 7 game lead over the Braves (YCBill). The Braves went 6-15 during the week. Burley Norseman and his Astros closed in on .500 and now have a record of 40-41 after going 12-9--they are 11 games off the pace. Fench33 and the Expos had a good week going 13-8 and are now 36-45.
In the central, Generationm1 and the Athletics continue to lead the division. The Athletics went 9-12 for the week but still maintained a healthy 11 game lead over JJB92 and the Giants. The Giants went 12-9 picking up 3 games. Bigdinkent and his Rangers were 10-11 for the week and now have a record of 36-45. The Reds (Nol15736) went 9-12 for the week and now trail the Athletics by 15 games.
The Seattle Mariners (NewGuy1912) maintained a 5 game lead in the division. The Mariners were 10-11 for the week. The Cardinals (Manillacone) had an excellent week going 14-7 and are now tied with pdbaileyfl and his Indians club--both have records of 41-40. The Twins had a tough week going 5-16 and are now 27-54, 19 games behind the Mariners.
Draft results: A one round draft was held--each team had a predetermined amount of funds ranging from 22 million (Twins) to $1.5 million (East division). After the draft, for teams with sufficient funds, additional players could be picked up. Here's a look at players who will be eligible for the second half of the season.
Twins-$22 million: Cal Ripken Jr. will be joining the Twins--Cal was the first pick of the draft. Also added to the Twins roster were starting pitchers Alex Fernandez and Rick Reed, outfielders Shannon Stewart and Joe Carter and super utility man BJ Surhoff. The Twins will look very different in the second half of the season.
Rangers 6 million: Texas added Dave Steib to their starting rotation.
Expos: $1.5 million : Have not added any players
Reds: $ 2 million: Added Mike Greenwell to help bolster their offense
Astros: $1.5 million: Added Mark Loretta to the roster--Mark looks like he will be taking over as the starting shortstop
Giants: $6 million: Added Kirk McCaskill during the draft and Armando Benitez to handle closer duties
Cardinals: $15 million: Have not added any players
Indians: $7 million: Added Bret Saberhagen and Ray Durham
Mariners: $6 million: Added Carlos Delgado
Braves: $1.5 million: Added Craig Lefferts
