Major move by Miners
Southern Illinois made another trade today, and it might have landed the Miners the missing piece for its offense. The Miners acquired outfielder Javier Herrera from Rockford in exchange for three players to be named.
Herrera is third in the league in batting average (.338) and RBI (64). He already has hit for the cycle in a game this season, which is his first in the Frontier League.
You might recall that Herrera, while in the Oakland Athletics' organization, spent two years on Baseball America's Top 100 prospects list. He climbed to as high as the No. 2 prospect in the Athletics' system before a series of injuries forced him out of affiliated ball. He did not play professionally last year.

In keeping with a Major move theme, I had a major decision whether to attend the Wild Cubs game or the Doo Wop concert at the county fair.
Admission at the county fair was $6 today. (Note, $9 other days) Admission to the Wild Cubs was between $5 and $15.
Also, free parking at the fair and $5 parking for the Wild Cubs.
Economic decision made--The Fair!
If the Doo Wop concert was held at the Wild Cubs field, the concert tickets wound have been $25+ along with as charged at previous concerts $15/car.
I made the right decision to attend the fair.
Plus as a bonus, the Wild Cubs lost and the Doo Wop was better entainment.
Go Buttons!
Don't you know that, according to Stu Williams, CEP IS the entertainment capital of all of Washingtom, by God, County?
When people think of entertainment, according to the gospel of Stu, they think of CEP.
You did make the right choice. Stu's prices just don't add up to good economics - except for him.
