It really is the home stretch for Chipper Jones (Bolles), who ends his career after this season. He is going out in solid Chipper fashion: a two homer day on his bobble-head night recently, batting .313 with 13 homers for the Braves who may give Chipper one more post-season as well; the Braves are currently the 1st wildcard in the National League.
Kansas City's DH Billy Butler (Wolfson) is continuing to have a nice second-half of the season after his appearance in the All-Star game. 25 homers, 79 rbis and a .306 batting average.
Pitcher Darren O'Day (Kenny) is having a good season with Baltimore, 6-1 with a 2.49 ERA in 50 appearances for the Orioles in the set-up role.
West Nassau High's Howie Kendrick (2B) continues a good season for the Angels with 6 homers 42 rbi and a.282 average.
Daniel Murphy (Englewood) starts at 2B for the Mets, batting a solid .289 (4 hr 51 rbi).
Glynn Academy's pitcher Adam Wainwright is 11-10 for the Cardinals after missing all of last season with injury.
Mat Gamel (Kenny) made it up to the bigs with Milwaukee this spring before tearing his ACL in May and missing the rest of the season. He batted .246 in his 21 games.
Michael Kirkman (Lake City) is 1-2 with a 4.44 ERA in 21 outings for the Texas Rangers.
Updates on a couple of high round draft picks from last year:
Javier Baez (ACD), the first round pick of the Cubs is batting .184 in High A ball in Daytona; Patrick Leonard (Creekside) has hit 13 homers in 52 games for Burlington (Royals org.) in A ball.
