The Traffic wound up their last series (and homestand) by dropping the last 3 to Toronto, so they'll strike out on the road, starting tomorrow in New Orleans.
New Orleans currently sits at 21-22, 4 games back of first place Austin, 3 games behind Houston, and 6 games ahead of San Juan for third in the division. They're 4th in the NL in runs scored and 14th in ERA. This will be the first matchup of these two teams this season and they should get used to each other; they'll each play 7 of their next 13 games against each other.
Probable Pitching Matchups:
Game 1: Bert Pierre (1-2, 4.75) vs. Cookie Alvarez (6-1, 4.01)
Game 2: Tito Mercedes (4-0, 3.48) vs. Jerome Oliver (2-3, 2.59)
Game 3: Will Piper (5-0, 2.59) vs. Rich Gibson (3-2, 3.14)
New Orleans has a potent lineup spearheaded primarily by three guys at this point: Gregg Black, Matty Matos, and Ray Cepicky. If the three Trenton pitchers can keep those guys from doing damage (and that's a fairly big if), they should be able to navigate the rest of the lineup OK. The Trenton offense struggled a bit in the Toronto series and it gets no easier, as all three pitchers are throwing well so far.

Draft Upcoming
We're now in the scouting period for the upcoming amateur draft. This will be an unusual draft for the Traffic, as they have the 16th pick but will not pick again until the 5th round due to free-agent signings. GM gumbercules said they have a few positions of need in mind (likely starting pitching), but that they would likely go with the best available player. Trenton currently has 2 first-round picks (Vasco Lopez, Gary Nelson) on their ML roster, with another (Sammy Garrido) likely to get a late-season callup. Fans of the team are invited to the stadium's Traffic Cafe (located in the lower concourse near Gate C) starting at 10:30 A.M. on Saturday for the team's official draft party, with the draft starting at 12.
1st Quarter Grades- Pitchers
The first quarter grades for the pitching staff:
STARTERS
Alex Sanchez: D Was brought in to lead the staff. I know some pitchers struggle early, but 2-4 with an ERA over 5 is unacceptable. Eats innings, which is the only reason this isn't an F.
York Watson: B- Good WHIP, ERA is a bit high.
Damion Mays: INC Just got here.
Bert Pierre: C+ Like Watson, the ERA has to come down a bit, but he's been OK for a 3rd or 4th starter. Has more potential.
Will Piper: A- Only negative is he doesn't go far enough into games (averages less than 6 innings per start). When he's in there, he's unhittable at times. He's 5-0 with a 2.59 ERA.
Tito Mercedes: B Swingman has been solid in both roles- if Sanchez and Pierre aren't careful and Mercedes keeps pitching like this, a change might be made at some point this season.
BULLPEN
Bernie Corino: A Yet to blow a save (9 for 9). Had by far his best season last year, and this season has been even better thus far.
Chris Jennings: INC See Damion Mays
Karl Coleman: A+ Has gone from barely making the squad (had a 6.01 ERA last season) to a key contributor on a potential playoff team (0.89 ERA thus far).
Wesley Cora: D+ Pitched a lot of innings out of the pen so far, but I think Trenton was expected more than a 5.68 ERA.
Vince Perez: C- Another free-agent pickup to help the bullpen that hasn't helped as much as hoped.
Vic Rincon: F Was dropped from the rotation. Has an ERA over 6 in both roles and has walked almost as much as he's struck out.
Paul Ulrich: B- Has been pretty good in limited duty.

1st Quarter Grades- Hitters
1st quarter grades for the Trenton Traffic everyday players:
STARTERS
Watty Miller: A An on-base machine is just what was needed for this team in the leadoff spot. If he provided any speed, this would be an A+, but perhaps that's nitpicking.
Bret King: B+ Tailed off a little bit from his very hot start, but is still on pace to have a typical Bret King season, which means a little of everything and a whole lot of runs scored.
Cap Herrera: A+ Leads the NL in hits, and is in the top 5 in the following categories: HRs (5th), RBI (3rd), batting average (3rd), on-base percentage (2nd), slugging (2nd), and OPS (2nd). A legitimate MVP candidate.
Enrique Park: C+ So far, looks like a typical Park season (40 HR, 100 RBI) but with a lower average.
Stephen Mills: B Solid if unspectacular season so far.
Vasco Lopez: B- This could end up being his best offensive season, but some of the pitchers are struggling and he's throwing out less than 20% of runners.
Magglio Perez: B- Improving his average, but power production is a bit down.
Shawn Butler: B- Not paid to hit- good thing. One of the better defensive shortstops in the league- not dazzling, but solid.
BENCH
Miguel Cerveza: A Has been invaluable, providing offensive spark when Perez went down.
Willis Petrov: A Pinch-hitter extraordinaire has never had more than 1 at-bat in a game, yet has managed 30 ABs so far. Hitting .433 in those 30 ABs- it's almost a surprise when he doesn't come through.
Deivi Sierra: INC Hasn't seen much action since Lopez has caught almost every game. That will change as the season goes on.
Gary Nelson: INC See Sierra.

The GM corner
We interviewed Trenton GM gumbercules for his thoughts on the first quarter of the season:
Are you happy with the way the team has played during the first 41 games?
I'd have to say yes. We're back among the top teams in the NL. Obviously there are some things I'd like to see improve, but all in all I've been happy with what I've seen on the field so far.
What would you like to see improve?
The pitching in particular. We've got quality arms that are not performing up to their standard yet. I'm not all that worried, as these are guys with track records.
You made a lot of big free-agent signings in the offseason. Your thoughts on that?
I know we forfeited quite a few draft picks. But we gave up 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks and got Bret King, Wesley Cora, and York Watson in return. I think you have to look at value here. Would I be able to get someone better than King for a 2nd round pick? Better than Watson for a 4th? The answer to the first question is maybe, and the second is not very likely, even if you'd be willing to wait for those guys.
You left out Cora of that last statement. Do you regret that signing?
No. The guy's been struggling so far, but he's got a history of performing well. It's way too early to give up on a guy like him.
Did Magglio Perez just get "Wally Pipped" by Miguel Cerveza?
Not likely. Miguel is just really hot right now, so we're planning on riding the hot bat until he cools off. Expect Mags to get his regular playing time after that.
A lot was made of the top three in the order (Miller, King, and Herrera) and that none of them were on the Opening Day roster last season. What do you think of their performance so far?
Well, that was a big part of the reason that we thought this offense would be a lot better this season, and I think so far that's exactly what has happened. Cap and Watty are both in the top 4 in batting, Cap and Bret are top 5 in runs scored, Watty is second in on-base... they're among the league leaders in categories you'd want your top 3 to be good at. They've driven each other in and set up the Enrique, Stevie, Vasco, and Mags. We signed these guys to continue to do just that.
Any thoughts on Atlanta?
Other than that they're really good? We'd like to get a rivalry going with those guys, but we don't beat them often enough to be at that level yet. They might be better than last season, which is scary.

Preview: Toronto Toros
The Traffic have a 4-game set coming up at home against the Toronto Toros
Report on Toronto:
They currently sit at 17-22 (7-12 on the road), good enough for 2nd place in the NL North. They sit 7 back of Fargo for first, and are 2 ahead of both Chicago and Philadelphia. They've scored fewer runs than any team in the NL except for Philly. Their team ERA ranks 5th in the NL.
Likely Pitching Matchups:
Game 1: Rob Cather (3-0, 2.37) vs. Will Piper (4-0, 3.03)
Game 2: Willis Casey (2-3, 3.00) vs. Alex Sanchez (2-3, 4.84)
Game 3: Jesus Estrada (1-5. 6.46) vs. York Watson (2-1, 4.31)
Game 4: Hipolito Santana (1-3, 4.67) vs. Damion Mays (0-0, 7.20)
This could be a tough series, although Trenton would seem to have the advantage on paper. Toronto's pitching has kept them in games thus far in spite of their offense and a few of Trenton's pitchers have struggled (Sanchez in particular). I don't think Trenton will sweep this series.
Who to look out for:
RF Fritz Wilkerson is tied for 5th in the NL in home runs (with, among others, Cap Herrera) with 14- amazingly he only has 22 RBI. The Traffic will have to be careful when pitching to him- the fact that they are throwing 3 lefties in the series (Wilkerson is a lefty) could help.
CF Albert Castro leads the team with a .331 average, a .372 OBP, and 19 runs scored, so keeping him off the basepaths will be a priority.

Recapping the Road Trip
The Traffic played to the same record on their 10-game roadtrip as they did on the last homestand: 6-4. Here's what happened:
Salt Lake City: The Traffic lost 2 of 3 to the 1st place Shakers. They won the third game 8-2 to avoid the sweep; Enrique Park finished a triple short of the cycle and drove in 3. Will Piper gave up 1 run on only 1 hit in 6 innings.
Vancouver: The pesky Golden Otters earned a 4-game split with Trenton. The highlight was in the last game, where former Otter Miguel Cerveza (filling in for the injured Magglio Perez) untied a 3-3 game in the 7th with a 3-run shot.
Chicago: The Traffic swept the Snake Tamers in Wrigley, winning all 3 games by exactly one run. Former Chicago reliever Bernie Corino earned the save in all 3 games.
WHO WAS HOT:
Miguel Cerveza: Went 9 for 20 (.450) filling in for Perez, hitting 4 homers and driving in 8.
Watty Miller: Reached base safely 21 times (15 hits, 6 walks), hitting .340 on the trip.
WHO WAS NOT HOT:
Shawn Butler: Hit .219 on the road trip.
Alex Sanchez: In his two starts, went 0-1 with a 5.73 ERA and 10 walks.
COMING UP: They'll be at home for 4 against Toronto, then go right back on the road for a 9-game trip through New Orleans, Chicago (again), and Cheyenne. Fans, remember that tomorrow night's game is Cap Herrera bobblehead night (available to the first 18,000 fans), so make sure to get to the ballpark early.

Traffic pull into Chicago
The Traffic will start a 3-game series with the Chicago Snake Tamers starting tonight. This will be the last game of the 10-game road trip, with the Traffic going 3-4 thus far.
Report on Chicago:
The Snake Tamers are 15-21, 3rd place in the NL North, 8 games back of Fargo and 2 back of Toronto for 2nd place. They've struggled on the mound (13th in the NL in ERA) and in 1-run games (1-7).
Likely Pitching Matchups:
Game 1: Vic Rincon (2-4, 6.32) vs. Mateo Guerrero (1-4, 4.29)
Game 2: Damion Mays (3-0, 3.43 with Vancouver) vs. Jorge Guzman (1-3, 6.43)
Game 3: Tito Mercedes (3-0, 3.24) vs. Babe Broadhurst (3-3, 3.97)
The Traffic would do well to take 2 of 3 here. Game 2 seems to be the only pitching matchup that really favors them; as good as Mercedes has been, Broadhurst is a better pitcher with a much longer track record. Rincon vs. Guerrero is a toss-up. As for the offense, many of the big bats (Sean Simpson, Neifi McBride, Bernie Soriano, Ryan Snyder) have come out slow, but one pleasant surprise has been the play of former Traffic farmhand Paul Turnbow, who's hitting .280 with 11 HRs (second on team) and 34 RBI (leads team), adding 10 steals.

Trenton re-acquires Mays, gets Chris Jennings from Vancouver
The Trenton Traffic swung a 6-player deal with the Vancouver Golden Otters.
Trenton gets: SP Damion Mays, RP Chris Jennings
Vancouver gets: CF Roscoe Rigby (AAA), 3B Edwin Corey (AAA), P Pedro Hernanez, OF Hal Brinkley
Analysis: Trenton felt that its weakness was in its pitching staff, so the Traffic went out and got a starter and a reliever. Mays makes his return to Trenton (he was 28-27 in about 2 full seasons before being dealt in the trade that brought Cap Herrera to NJ) to solidify the middle of the rotation. Jennings has a good track record as a closer before faltering this season; he'll set up Bernie Corino for now.
Vancouver gets a pretty decent haul here. Rigby is a good defensive CF with a world of speed. Corey has very good speed for a 3B and should hit well-both he and Rigby should be full-time starters soon. Hernandez projects as a middle-to-bottom of the rotation type. Brinkley was included in the deal to make the salaries work, but he's got talent; Vancouver looks like they're going to give him a shot at the RF position.

Traffic lose Perez for a week
Traffic RF Magglio Perez injured his back trying to leg out a triple in last night's 6-1 victory in Vancouver. The team doctor said he was having back spasms, and that there was nothing major. It's expected that he'll be out about a week and will not have to make a trip to the DL. The manager announced that Miguel Cerveza will take Perez's spot in right and will bat 7th; Enrique Park, who has flip-flopped between 4th and 7th with Magglio all season, will go back to the cleanup spot.
