The month of July wasn't terrible by Boise standards going 11-15 (.423). More telling is the average deficit in losses sitting at 1.5 runs. So close yet so far away. The Spuds offense averaged a meager 3.8 runs/game while pitching/defense held opponents to 4.3 per.

Josh 'Kid' Clark
24 G, 24 GS, 12-5, 3.38 ERA, 154.1 IP, 3.8 K/BB, 1.16 WHIP, +2.7 WAR
Tis a shame that Clark has to labor in obscurity but he's paid well enough for it. Dan Boman didn't have a terrible month and neither did Buddha with his 2.5 K/BB. Thomas Turner was the closest to challenge Kid and, indeed, he has been the top of the rotation with Clark posting a stat line of 23 G, 23 GS, 7-10, 4.24 ERA, 146.1 IP, 2.5 K/BB, 1.14 WHIP, +1.3 WAR.

With all due respect to Tariku Jabiri this is between Qasim and Santos. Both turned in a solid July but we'll go with the latter's 2-1 record with 6 SVs.

1B Tracy 'Jigga' Allison
120 G, 27 2B, 8 3B, 9 HR, 51 RBI, .238/.293/.380 (.673 OPS), 77 SB, +1.2 WAR
Ugh. Jigga has shown nothing on the year that would point to a solid July, but he got it together with a .843 OPS, 7 doubles, 2 triples, 3 HR, and 16 RBI while swiping 15 bases in 16 attempts. 5 players had a OPS above .770 and the surprise was Taylor who unseated rookie William Coleman in the order against RHP & LHP with Coleman used as a super-sub. Yamauchi had a solid month with 14 RBI on 3 doubles, a triple, and 4 HR.
July: SP Josh 'Kid' Clark, P Mario Santos, DH Perry Taylor
May: SP Josh 'Kid' Clark, 1B William Coleman
