APP News: The Offseason Begins
Tuesday, October 2nd , 2108
It was the best of times in the just-finished APP season. It is now the offseason in baseball. While the annual awards will be announced shortly, for many fans and some players, this is the worst of times. An old-time player was once asked what he did in the offseason. He replied, "Mostly, I just stand at the window and stare and wait for the new season." Many fans feel that way, too.
The feeling is certainly different in APP front offices, though. For those men and women, the offseason is a hectic time of roster evaluations, analysis and change. Who will re-sign? What players will we go after? Where should we send our scouts? Who will be hanging up his spikes? Each club's success for next year and beyond will be largely determined by the wheelin' and dealin' that transpires over the next several months.
You may now vote for the league award winners, the option is available in the league menu.

APP Selects Jimenez September's Best Pitcher
Monday, October 1st , 2108
When Hugo Jimenez takes the hill, he's a good bet to nail down the victory for the Greeneville Astros. At least that's the way it was in May.
He excelled with a 2-0 mark and 2.37 ERA in 2 starts. In 19 innings, he fanned 10 and walked 4.
That's why he was honored today as the Pitcher of the Month by the Appalachian League.
To date this season, Jimenez has compiled a 6-5 record with a 3.55 ERA in 11 starts.
