Another decent day overall for the ex Diamond Heels in the Pro’s (both Major & minors), with one pitcher lowering his ERA once again, while plenty of hitters had good showing in their games. One piece of bad news is that one of the ex Heels pitchers is now on the DL list, another bad twist for a guy who was first demoted and then was 0 and 2 in Triple A. Check it all out right here, on the next edition of “Heels in the Leauge” (MLB) for the games from July 30, 2009…
