While the Tartan's have struggled this season, 48-96 going into play today, there has been one bright spot on the Major League roster. 1B Gary Bellhorn has 41 HRs, 109 RBI, and a .368 OBP in 495 ABs this season. Bellhorn, just 26, has played well enough to warrant consideration of making the roster next season, when Atlanta is expected to revamp the ML squad.
Bench Coach Anthony Ashburn had this to say, " in a season where management has left me with my hands tied, Gary has been one of the few guys that deserves to be in the line-up."

Strategic Insight
(This area of the blog will be used to record key insights learned in the Branch Rickey World.)
In no specific order:
1.) Don't under estimate the value of a good coaching staff, they can turn a dud into a competitive squad, etc.
2.) Pitching settings are one of the most important controls in the game: particularly the Call Bullpen setting, which can dramatically improve any pitchers performance (use it to reward good ERAs/WHIPs and improve bad ones).
3.) Pick a strategy that is unique and one that you can live with. (If you are in for the long haul then consider going young early, or you want to earn a free season get big league talent, just make sure you won't have regrets when your minor league system sucks.)
