(4) - Jerusalem Hebrew Hammers 7 11 .389 -6.5 GB
7 games: 1-6
Correlation does not equal causation but, hell, we'll give GM Ben Teague points for his tweak to offense move as the Hammers tackled Sim #4 6-1. 2 of those win were complements of Harney who is making a strong case for permanent place in the rotation. Henry was acquired from the Manama Pearls in the offseason in a "like-for-like" deal with the Hammers sending Damian Theophanous:
