Week Fifteen Recap (10-5): All-star shimmy. Just make it green, baby

ATLANTIC CITY SHARKS  586
VERACRUZ POSSE               560




Lineup Moves:  Kept Christain Yelich on as regular dropping the oft injured Josh Harrison.  Yelich is having a down year, but has good stats over the past month and looks like he could put up numbers similiar to last year.  Off day Waiver wire starters posted a decent +22 with David Murphy doing the most damage 18 in 4 starts.

Pitching Moves: Added Aaron Nola to regular rotation with solid results (30 points in two starts).  Added Jason Motte to bullpen with mostly positive results (14).

Conclusions:  Lineup is SET, baby.  Regulars posted 300+ points, albeit in the expanded timeframe, still a very satisfying performance.  Cano seems to finally be coming around and Franco is still tearing the cover off the ball.

Pitching staff is still in flux though.  Adding Nola to the regular rotation should help to stabilize the day to day cliff jumping exercise.  Bullpen needs a bit of work.  Overall the staff posted a respectable 266, going 10-6 with six saves in an expanded 18 starts.


Pitching Staff as currently constructed:

SP Felix Hernandez
SP Aaron Nola

RP Trevor Rosenthal
RP Kenley Jansen
RP Jeurys Familia
RP Joakim Soria
RP John Axeford
RP Carson Smith
RP Jason Motte
