Well that does it for July. However a disappointing trend continues. The number of Heels in the pros has dropped from ten to nine to now just five.

With Harvey’s surgery and Iannetta’s progressing demotion, the number could be even smaller in August. Thankfully September brings call ups, so there is always hope in the end.
