Commissioner Thorn:
I would like to make the following personnel moves to my beloved Funk. Consider this an effort to cut some fat and get my team out of it's "funk", as fifth place is unacceptable.
1) Please cut C Joe Torre and add C Joe Mauer. (youth movement!!!) 2) Also, replace 1B Willie McCovey with 1B Willie Stargell as my regular starter at that position. 3) Finally...here is how I would like my lineups to look without Musial during his injury. Mostly just a shuffle to try developing a new chemistry.
vs. RHP: 2B Lajoie, 3B Boggs, LF Williams, 1B Stargell, RF Puckett, CF DiMaggio, C Bench, SS Yount, P ---
vs. LHP: 2B Lajoie, 3B Boggs, LF Williams, 1B Stargell, RF Puckett, CF DiMaggio, C Mauer, SS Yount, P ---
Upon Musial's return, use these lineups:
vs. RHP: 2B Lajoie, 3B Boggs, RF Musial, LF Williams, 1B Stargell, CF DiMaggio, C Bench, SS Yount, P ---
vs. LHP: 2B Lajoie, 3B Boggs, RF Musial, LF Williams, 1B Stargell, CF DiMaggio, C Mauer, SS Yount, P ---

Dang it, Phil haha; I waited on playing games because I thought you'd make a quick change. I'll give you Bill Freehan to replace Campanella while he's on the 15-day.

Funkstown C Johnny Bench will miss a couple weeks of action with a strained hammy. Bojay, he won't need to go to the DL, so I just shelved him on your reserve roster & activated Joe Torre. Do you want Mauer to play against RHP & Torre against LHP? Have one of them as the full-time guy behind the plate?

Torre has been despicably awful...go Joe, go.

Boy, haven't had to do this in a while. Cumberland CF Ken Griffey Jr. suffered a strained a rib cage muscle while in the field, and he's expected to miss about 3 weeks of action. I placed him on the 15-day DL & signed Larry Doby to take his spot on the roster.

Again, Funkstown loses its primary catcher, Johnny Bench; he now out about 5 weeks with a strained oblique. I moved Mr. Bench to the 15-day & readjusted your catcher situation back to what it was last time he got hurt, with Mauer getting the bulk of the starts behind the dish & Torre backing him up. Is that all right with you, sir?
UPDATE: All right with him.

Adding injury to insult during Gaylord Perry's masterful performance, Jigger 3B Mike Schmidt fractured his thumb as a result of a pitch thrown by Perry. He'll be on the shelf for 4 weeks. Seth, anyone in particular you want to fill in for Schmidt as he heals up on the 15-day DL?
UPDATE: GM Thompson has informed me that he will be moving A-Rod to 3rd & picking up that glove wizard himself at SS, Ozzie Smith.

The injury bug finally struck Newark, and it sure struck hard. The Legion lost SS Derek Jeter for the rest of the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon. As a result, I moved Jeter to the 60-day DL and signed 1B/OF Harmon Killebrew to replace him.
