AZL did not play


Player of the Day - Nick Buss, OF

Buss has been very hot and cold this season. In May, he batted .293 with 6 xbh's and 5 SB. Over the next 2 months, he batted .224 and .248 with 6 walks and 38 strikeouts. Nick is back to hot in August, with a .316 average and a 1.066 OPS in 6 games. He's main problem is his inability to hit lefties (.168 BA, .437 OPS), as he's been otherwise solid against righties (.296 BA, .813 OPS). He'll need to improve against southpaws if he wants to continue his pro career.
