MUMBLES AND GRUMBLES

The only Mumbai Metro Stars blog you need to read.
by Gustavo Pok


It's been a busy week so I will get right to it friends. The Stars slid back down to .500 with a 2-4 record in two home series. The bottom line so far? They are not giving up a lot of runs but they're not scoring a lot of runs. That gets you a .500 record. The Stars lead the Bancroft in home runs but are last in runs scored. They don't have guys that get on base much and there's a couple of vets (Clapper and Mahaffey) that have had slow starts.

UPCOMING – back on the road with 3 @Athens and then 3 @Baghdad in the first taste of BURT action.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR? - The roster tweaking continues for Young. It's as though the roster is wool underwear and he's continually uncomfortable with it and is constantly making adjustments. We'll see if veteran Alonso Olvere can help get this offense going and if Clapper and Mahaffey can start to play to their career numbers.

It's the time of year to start looking at what's going on in the minors so here are some tidbits.

- IF Ivan Lovett and 1B/C Ron Kennerly (19 yrs.old) have been tearing up the ABA so far for the Lagos Wreckers who as a team are off to an 11-4 start. Kennerly (218 OPS+) has done nothing but rake since being drafted last year and his bat looks major league ready. The problem is where to play him? The defense isn't what the organization would like at catcher and he is learning 1B but it remains to be seen if he can be adequate there. Still, it's likely he will force his way into the Stars lineup at some point this year. Lovett (23yrs. old) projects to a useful bench piece especially if his defensive versatility continues to develop.

If nothing else, Kennerly looks like a nice platoon bat at DH.
