Valencia Stars Report:37-37 (.500) # 3

[leejay56]

The Stars are hanging on to first place even with a .500 record. Hawaii is right behind the Stars by 2.6 games...

3B Kevin Minuso is having another great year..
Minuso is hitting .299 which leads the team and has a .393 OBP which is fantastic. Minuso last September year signed a 5-year contract extension worth a total of $42,610,000, which if Minuso keeps playing like he has will be a very good deal for the Stars...

Free Agents signings Phil Owry and Al Jones have been a bust so far...

Owry is hitting .214 with 5 homers and 18 RBI'S...Owry is not the player that the Stars needed as a DH so time will tell if he remains the starting DH...Last season Owry hit .275 which the Stars were hoping that he would come close to that batting average....

Jones has shown some good power with 9 homers so far but his batting average is .197...Jones 39 looks like his good career is coming to a end if he cant hit .250. Jones a career .280 is almost 100 points lower than his average...
