The Stars thought June record of 11-17 was bad. In July the Stars had there worst month of the year going 7-18 for the month. Only 7 games they won which now puts then in the bottom 6 teams and no way to come close to hitting the .500 goal for the season. The Stars have so many players that have been in a slump all of July hopefully August will bring more wins and the Stars start hitting again. The Stars do have the 4th best minors system so after 10 years of no help from the minors there is a bright light in a few seasons.
Free Agent pick up OF António Lara has been pretty steady this season for the Stars. Lara in his first season in the big leauges is hitting .260 11 homers and has 38 RBI'S. Lara biggest problem is his defense in LF. At 24 hopefully that can change a little. Lara is still young and ther Stars feel he could be on the team for a while as he is a soild hitting prospect.
DH Héctor Valentín is doing much better after a slow start. Valentín now is hitting .302 with a .331 OBP has he has picked up 25 stolen bases. Valentín is a career .330 hitter and hopefully can stay hot for the rest of the season. Like Lara, Valentín was a free agent pickup to help the Stars get there hitting back on tract. Still way to many holes on the offfense side for the Stars this season.
Valentín is only 30 and signed a two year deal that will keep him here next season as the Stars wait for the kids to make it up...

Looks like Angel Zalapa deserves a callup this September. Wilton Rivera as well. Help is definitely on the way in Valencia.
