CIE Player update thread

[SelzShoes]

Josephus "Big Joey" Bricker is our first created player to make an apperance. At the Arizona tryout camp, Buck O'Neill gives the kid the start, but not a good day otherwise for the slugging firstbaseman. Hilton Smith struck the kid out 3 times. Bricker did have a solid drive to left in the late innings, but it turned into a loud out. Zero for 4 with 5 left on base, but a clean defensive game.

Josh Gibson hit a home run, and Buck O'Neill got a pinch hit single.


I'm planning on just reporting on our created players, but if you want to know how a "real" player is doing, you can ask here. Right now, only the 80 Negro Leaguers are playing. After the Arizona tryout camp, then regular spring training will begin.

[SelzShoes]

Showcasing Josephus "Big Joey" Bricker's versatility, Buck gave the kid a start at thirdbase. Joey goes 0-2 at the plate, before being removed for a pinch hitter. Didn't show much range, but was clean with what he got to. Now 0-6, with 3 strike outs in tryout camp.

[SelzShoes]

Two of our created players saw action in the same game. Josephus Bricker was back at firstbase; finally getting his first two hits (singles) of the tryout. However, he struck out 2 times as well.

Winston Lafayette got the start in the game, and other than two innings where he was constantly behind the hitters, was pretty good. 7 innings, 2 walks, 4 hits, 2 earned runs and 5 strike outs.

Achilles Brown also got a start today for his squad, and was very impressive. Complete game, 3 hits, 1 walk, 9 strike outs, 1 earned run, and fielded his position brilliantly.

[fantastic flying froggies]

This thread is a great way to track the progress of our players without cluttering your main dynasty.

[SelzShoes]

This thread is a great way to track the progress of our players without cluttering your main dynasty.
Yeah, I just clutter the board, much more considerate of me :rolleyes:

[SelzShoes]

Joey Bricker has his second straight 2 hit day. With SS John Kennedy tweeking his back, there is chance he will see a few more games at third as they may have to move players around.

[SelzShoes]

Joey Bricker picks up another single (and RBI). Now it may not seem impressive with what he is doing, but I really think Bricker is moving up in terms of guys who will be in a Major League camp for ST. Pitching is dominating the tryout camp, with 3 squads hovering around .200 and one at .220 for batting average. Among firstbasemen, I think (figures not in front of me) Bricker is near the top. O'Neill is crushing the ball, but he is mostly pinch-hitting, since, in his words, "That's what my role for Baltimore will be." Buck Leonard is struggling, Lyman Bostock Sr, no one has really caught up with the pitching. Now, as the camp winds down and arms start to tire, this could change, but Bricker is in a good spot for the time being.

[SelzShoes]

Because it has been bugging me:

Buck O'Neill 3-6, 2B
Joey Bricker 5-17, 2 RBI, 8 K
Buck Leonard 4-17, 2 2B, HR, 2 RBI, 2 BB, 4 K
Luke Easter 1-5, RBI, K
Showboat Thomas 1-5, 3 K
Lazaro Salazar, 1-5, 2B
Jim West 1-6, RBI, 2 K
Lyman Bostock Sr 1-9, 3 K

[SelzShoes]

Achillies Brown has a bit of a stumble in his second start. 8 IP, 8 hits, 6 earned runs, 2 BB and 4 strike outs. There is still time for this guy to get back on track before camp is over.

Joey Bricker on the other hand, has a very good day. Launching a 2 out Grand Slam against Don Newcombe. Two more strike outs though, which is worrisome to the scouts. Still, Buck is giving the kid every chance in the world, that could be the difference if it comes down to him and another firstbaseman.

[SelzShoes]

Joey, Joey, Joey. Playing 3rd, goes 0-4, with 2 more strike outs. Buck then sits you the next game to get a couple other guys some swings.

[SelzShoes]

Just when I tell myself that I'm going to cut back to only doing reports every 3 games (because, I have overdone it a bit to start--it's my first interactive, forgive me) all three of our Negro Leaguers appear in the same game. I will start doing reports for every 3 games though to keep this under control tho

The good: Josephus Bricker. 3-4, 2 HR, 2B, 4 RBI, but 1 K. That's 13 strike outs on the camp, with no walks. Right now, that's the only flaw in his game. Ok, scouts would like a little more range, but 10 clubs have intial interest.

The not-so-good: Winston Lafayette. 6 IP, 10 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 7 K. He has a problem with right handed hitters, which could be a problem in an era prior to the loogy. Four clubs have interest.

The bad: Achilles Brown. 6 IP, 7 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 2 HRA. After a masterful debut, Achilles has given up 10 ER in his last two starts. Four clubs have interest.

[SelzShoes]

Over the last 3 games:

Joey Bricker, 3-11, 6 K (4 in one game). If he makes contact, he is deadly.

Winston Lafayette, retired 1 batter (Suitcase Simpson) on a line shot to short to end a game.

Achilles Brown, more of the same, 7 IP, 10 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 8 K. He really needs to pick it up, he set the expectations high with his first game, and just hasn't pitched up that well since.

[SelzShoes]

As we reach the halfway point of the tryout camp; this 3 game set:

Joey Bricker, 0-7, 3 K; part of a 0-12, 7 K skid

Winston Lafayette, no game

Achilles Brown, 7 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 8 K; better than he had been going

[SelzShoes]

This 3 game set:

Joey Bricker, 3-6, 2 RBI, 3 K, HR, 1st BB, 1st error

Winston Lafayette had a bounce back game, 8 IP, 6 H, ER, 2 BB, 7 K

Achilles Brown did not appear in any games

[SelzShoes]

From a 4 game set

Joey Bricker, 2-10, RBI, 3 K

Winston Lafayette 2 G, 1.2 IP, H, K

Achilles Brown, 7 IP, 10 H, 5 ER, BB, 3 K

There is a little over a week left at the tryout camp.

[SelzShoes]

After a 6 game set, 2 games to go!

Joey Bricker 5-20, 6 K. Steady, but needs to do more.

Achilles Brown, 2 GS, 15.1 IP, 14 H, 6 ER, 3 BB, 19 K. Good set for him.

Winston Lafayette, 2 GS, 13.1 IP, 12 H, 6 ER, 3 BB, 13 K. A little dip in his production.

[SelzShoes]

Joey Bricker is the only player to perform in the last two days, going 0-6, K.

Final camp totals will be posted later, along with some other numbers from the camp!

[SelzShoes]

Pitching dominated the tryout camp, but the dominance started to wane at the end. Here is the camp totals (each squad had 30 games)

AVG HR R AB H 2B 3B BB K OBP SLG OPS SB
.244 102 488 4105 1002 162 29 326 919 .303 .372 .675 38

ERA IP HA R ER HRA BB K OAVG BABIP CG SHO
3.58 1074.1 1002 488 427 102 326 919 .244 .292 20 5


The 2.8 to 1 strike out to walk ratio is a little misleading, as 3 batters combined to have 4 walks to 104 strike outs! Remove those players and the ratio drops to 2.5 to 1, still a little high, but more in the range I had hoped for. Stolen bases were also alot lower than I had expected, but it is hard to steal if you are not on base. With those numbers in mind, let's look at our created players first.

Josephus Bricker got most of the attention in the update thread, since he was the sole created 'everyday' negro leaguer.

G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG OPS
26 89 22 1 0 4 13 5 1 0 0 36 0 0 .247 .256 .393 .649

G GS PO A DP TC E PCT INN RANGE
First Base 24 24 204 12 21 217 1 .995 197.0 9.91
Third Base 2 2 1 2 0 3 0 1.000 16.0 1.69


Not bad defensively, and ok offensively until you look at his K/BB ratio. Yes, Bricker was one of the three players who had no strike zone judgement. If not for that, he would be going to a major league camp. As it stands now, he will be (at Buck O'Neill's suggestion) be playing for the Kansas City Monarchs (but more on the Negro Leagues later)

Winston Lafayette was our veteran pitcher created and was, overall, the best performing of the 3 created players.

G GS ERA IP HA R ER BB K CG CG% SHO QS QS%
9 5 2.75 39.1 34 16 12 7 39 0 .0 0 4 80.0

Helped himself by being unscored upon in relief as well as being a reliable starter. Six clubs have an interest in Lafayette, so depending where he signs (I have to ask his creator about this) he could be a top of the rotation starter. I like his chances to succeed in the CL, but could be a difference maker in the PCL.

Achilles Brown was our young pitcher created was not as strong as Lafayette in his performance. However, being a young lefty, he will actually get an invite to a major league camp. If his performance does not improve at spring training, I suspect he will be let go, rather than be sent to the minors. Like Lafayette, will have to PM his creator to see where he might go.

G GS ERA IP HA R ER BB K CG CG% SHO QS QS%
8 8 4.40 59.1 59 34 29 14 55 1 12.5 0 3 37.5

If he does make a team, it should be as a bullpen pitcher with an occasional start.

I post some other camp performances either tonight or Tuesday

[SelzShoes]

So, we had 81 players at the tryout camp, ranging in age from 19-41. Hall of Famers and fringe players. After tryout camp, we have three groupings of players.

Group 1: 27 players have been invited to Major League Spring training. This does not included the 7 players signed by Kansas City. These are the players who can make an opening day roster.

Group 2: 16 players who have a team holding their major league rights, but will be playing in the Negro Leagues.

Group 3: 38 players who did not get an offer or have their rights held by a CL/PCL club. These players are free agents, but it does little good as long as the NAL is still all white. NAL clubs will start integrating in 1947. These players will be playing in the Negro Leagues as well. (Why no, I haven't figured out the best way to do this yet, but I'm open to suggestions!)

So here are the players in group 1 and how they performed at the tryout camp.

Of our created players, Achilles Brown and Winston Lafayette are in group 1; Joey Bricker is in group 2.

After this, I'm going to finish the Washington roster for that thread. I have one more interlude post, and then I'm going to start working on PCL/CL rosters. After that, we'll start spring training.

Josh Gibson, C
The only catcher to make the grade, even though a lot of teams need catchers. Scouts were disappointed he did not show more power, and his throwing arm was less than stellar. But Gibson did hit for the third highest average at the camp, even without the power, he would be a great hitting catcher.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
28 87 28 1 1 5 13 13 11 0 0 11 1 0 .322 .398 .529
Right now Buffalo, Cincinnati, Hollywood and Minneapolis are his likely destinations. Is demanding "Paige Money" ($50,000) to sign, giving the Stars a leg up.

Luke Easter, 1B
Showed good power, but needs a bit more contact to be a middle of the order hitter.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
25 58 15 3 1 4 11 7 8 0 0 17 0 0 .259 .348 .552
PCL bound.

Buck Leonard, 1B
If he wasn't 38 years old, the .256 average and 23 strike outs would not be as big a worry. Yes he has league leading power, but how close to the end is he?
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
28 90 23 4 0 8 18 15 10 0 2 23 0 0 .256 .324 .567
Buffalo, Cincinnati and Minneapolis are willing to sign Buck, but only if they get Gibson too. Otherwise, probably will go to the PCL.

Buck O'Neill, 1B
Going to Baltimore to "assist" Ruth as the Babe learns how to manage. Had pretty good camp with the bat too.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
21 30 9 2 0 1 4 3 2 0 0 0 0 0 .300 .344 .467

13 7 1 0 1 3 2 1 0 0 0 0 .538 .571 .846
Defensively a mess, but that's not his job.

Lazaro Salazar, 1B
Surprised scouts with strike zone judgement and defensive skill. Line drive contact hitter, might be a good No. 2 hitter for someone.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
27 69 19 5 0 2 14 10 12 0 0 12 0 0 .275 .383 .435
Several teams interested.

Lick Carlisle, 2B
Would add speed, but a 36 year old singles hitter shouldn't be this valued; espcially with substandard defense.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
27 70 19 0 1 1 8 8 8 0 0 2 1 0 .271 .346 .343
Looks to be another PCL signing.

Martin Dihigo, 2B
If I had to do this over, I would have made him a pitcher, but I needed another infielder in camp, so I took advantage of his legendary versitility.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
30 104 31 6 0 4 13 19 21 0 1 31 0 0 .298 .413 .471
Columbus, Oakland and Phoenix are the only teams interested. His being 40 has alot to do with that.

Larry Doby, 2B
Played a good defensive second base. Showed the kind of power the scouts wanted from Gibson and is still growing as a hitter.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
30 106 26 3 1 7 20 19 20 1 1 30 0 1 .245 .367 .491
Baltimore would have to be the front runner, with Minneapolis, Oakland and Phoenix on the fringe.

Sammy Hughes, 2B
One of the plesant surprises at camp. Played all over the field, hit for average and some power.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
23 73 23 9 1 2 9 14 8 0 0 5 0 0 .315 .383 .548
Oakland would be a great fit, but Minneapolis is there too.

Chuck Harmon, 3B
Something about this kid caught the eye of a couple PCL clubs. Plays the outfield too.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
16 25 6 0 0 1 4 7 3 0 0 4 1 0 .240 .321 .360
PCL would be good for him, he'd get a chance to play.

Lester Lockett, 3B
A very well-rounded camp for Lester.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
22 66 23 7 0 2 7 13 7 2 0 5 0 0 .348 .427 .545
Buffalo is where I think he will end up.

Minnie Minoso, 3B
This guy had the "wow" factor all camp. Didn't post the best numbers, but was clearly the best player.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
29 87 27 7 4 1 14 16 12 1 0 5 3 0 .310 .400 .517
Perfect for the Yankees, but they aren't intergrating. Whoever he signs with will be very happy for years to come.

Pat Patterson, 3B
Several good players showed themselves at third, but it is a tight market for thirdbasemen.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
22 49 15 4 1 0 6 9 5 1 0 5 0 0 .306 .382 .429
Brooklyn needs a stop gap 3B to keep the spot warm for some youngsters, but nothing is a given for Patterson right now.

Parnell Woods, 3B
It is hard to shine when you share the same position as teammate Minnie Minoso.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
24 53 15 3 0 1 4 8 6 1 1 11 0 0 .283 .361 .396
Still he did enough to get a look-see from one of the usual suspects.

Willie Wells, SS
Overall, the worst performing postion of the camp. Wells could be a good back up and pinch runner for some team.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
30 107 34 6 1 1 15 10 6 2 1 15 1 0 .318 .362 .421
Lots of bad teams need a shortstop. The underperformace of the shortstops was one of the biggest disappointments for scouts.

Jimmy Crutchfield, OF
He just gets on base. It is what he does. If you've got the thumpers behind him, he'll score 120 runs.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
30 105 34 6 1 0 15 14 20 0 0 21 5 0 .324 .432 .400
Phoenix, Oakland and Seattle are in most interested.

Sam Jethroe, OF
The Jet had a very good camp. Not the best, but top 5.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
30 101 25 4 1 7 26 18 13 2 0 32 3 0 .248 .345 .515
I can see his middle of the order booming to end up in Oakland or Baltimore.

Lennie Pearson, OF
Another one of those just all around solid lines.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
29 85 27 4 0 1 13 8 11 2 0 11 0 0 .318 .408 .400
I'm a little surprised there isn't more interest, but Hollywood or Seattle will be there.

Ted Strong, OF
The low average scares off alot of clubs, but the power numbers are real.
G AB H 2B 3B HR RBI R BB HP SF K SB CS AVG OBP SLG
30 106 25 4 2 3 8 14 15 0 0 16 0 0 .236 .331 .396
Still a decent level of interest, should land into a good spot.

A relative small number of teams (6) are interested in black pitchers. Because of this there could be five or six clubs with half a rotation of black pitchers. Since pitching wins championships, these could be the players who really tip the scales for the team that signs the right two or three pitchers.

[SelzShoes]

I just started playing Spring Training games yesterday. I'll have an update on how our created players are doing (hopefully) by this weekend. I have at least 5 more storylines to start for ST; but we should have the regular season starting (hopefully) by the end of the month.

[SelzShoes]

Well, I couldn't wait to do a player report. It's very exciting to have gotten this close to the actual factual season!
All teams have played 8 games.

Baltimore Athletics
P Winston Lafayette 2 G, 1.1 IP, 4 ER, 1 BB

Wasn't really ready for his first start after thowing an inning in relief a couple days earlier. Has to have a really bad spring not to make team, so let's give him a mulligan for this quarter.

Buffalo Bison
P Achilles Brown GS, 3 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 3 K

Can't really tell where he stands yet. Next update should have a better idea.

OF Graham Walker 2-5, BB, 2 K

Graham needed a couple retirements to have a shot to win a bench spot on the Bison; he didn't get them. Right now, he has to put up numbers too good to ignore. He's maybe 6th on the OF depth chart right now.

Columbus Clippers
P Owen Hunter 1 IP, 2 K

Will he get enough innings to show what he can do?

Hollywood Stars
2B Maximus Meridius 9-22, 2B, 2 HR, 4 RBI, BB, 2 K

With Weintraub gone, Max has to provide power. Good signs early. Starting job is assured.

3B Harley Gathers 3-11, HR, 2 RBI, BB, 3 K

No real competition in camp for Harley; his job to lose.

SS Vince Cressio 4-19, 2B, 2 RBI, 4 K

Vince is struggling a bit, but consider two things: 1) there are only 2 'true' shortstops in camp; and 2) Vince is outperforming by a wide margin over the other guy. I can't say he's is winning the job at this point, but Barkley definately is losing it.

Minneapolis Millers
SS Wally Klukas 1-8, 3 K

On the good side, none of the four shortstops in camp is doing much hitting. If everyone is equally bad, do they try to win with Vets or build with kids? At this point, it is looking like the minors for Klukas.

Phoenix Cowboys
SS Rabbit Donovan 6-27, 2B, RBI, 3 BB, 5 K

Early stumble by Rabbit has made Clem Koshorek the leader in the position battle. It's not over, but Rabbit needs a little streak here.

Portland Beavers
OF Charlie Denton 14-26, 3 2B, 3 RBI, BB, 4 K

Has established himself as the offensive lynchpin of the Beavers.

1B Jimmy Fitzpatrick 4-18, 3 R, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 2 BB

I think Jimmy, as nice as these early numbers are, really needs a good spring. Hal Trosky's number are superficially close enough to Fitzpatrick to have both make the roster. That's just lost AB's for the Beavers.

Sacramento Salons
2B Anton Gogolak 8-23, 5 R, 2 2B, HR, 6 RBI, 2 BB, 2 K

In mid-season form. There is little infield talent, so his job is in no danger.

Salt Lake City Saints
SS Dashiell Spivey 6-11, 5 R, 2B, 3 RBI, 4 BB, 0 K

While Dash is having a superlative spring; the rest of the Saints are sadly lacking. Expect more of the same the whole season.

San Diego Padres
P Rod Lockheart 8.2 IP, 9 H, 6 ER, 4 BB, 8 K

May not open the season as the No. 1 (Bud Byerly has shown No. 1 stuff), he's still in the top of the rotation. Couple more starts should get the kinks out.

[SelzShoes]

Halfway through spring training--at least in playing. In the storyline, I've got one more "beginning of ST storyline" I'm working on, then we've got some of the ST stuff. So much to do.

All teams have played 16 games.

Baltimore Athletics
P Winston Lafayette 4 G, 8.1 IP, 7 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
The short outings have not helped him. Has given up 14 hits and 12 runs; left handed hitters are killing him. Right now he's still in the mix for the 10th pitching slot. Unless we get a little bit more, it's either mop up in the majors or start at AAA.

Buffalo Bison
P Achilles Brown 3 GS, 9 IP, 15 H, 8 ER, 5 K
Too many other lefties in camp are pitching much better. Needs a couple shut down starts, 6 or so innings; he can still work back onto the staff, but not in a large role. Similar situation as Winston Lafayette.

OF Graham Walker 5-12, 4 R, RBI, 3 BB, 3 K
If only there was some power in those numbers. Right now the only rookie OF looking to head north is Gus Zernial, because, Gus hits the ball a long way. Now, if the Bison decide to play Roy Cullenbine at first more or less regularly; then I can see Graham making the team. Right now, he's first in line from AAA.

Columbus Clippers
P Owen Hunter 1 IP, 2 K
Bad news, did not make an appearance over the last 8 games. Will be starting a AAA.

Hollywood Stars
2B Maximus Meridius 18-39, 13 R, 3 2B, 3B, 5 HR, 10 RBI, 4 BB, 5 K
They guy I thought would be Meridius' no. 1 back up (Jack Merson) is lost for the season with a torn hamstring. The pressure on our created players to perform is increasing.

3B Harley Gathers 7-24, 2B, 3B, HR, 2 RBI, 3 BB, 8 K
Picked up the performace a bit the last set of games. Strike outs are a little worrisome.

SS Vince Cressio 12-37, 2B, HR, 9 RBI, 6 BB, 6 K
Red Barkley had to sit out a couple games with a minor injury, and the kid takes advantage. It will take a serious collapse by Cressio and similar surge by Barkley for him not to start.

Minneapolis Millers
SS Wally Klukas 3-15, 2 R, RBI, BB, 4 K
Is now sitting 3rd for the shortstop job. It will be interesting to see where in the minors he ends up. The Millers also have 19 year old Willy Miranda in camp, also struggling. I wouldn't think they would put them both at the same level--both need to play.

Phoenix Cowboys
SS Rabbit Donovan 9-43, 3 R, 2B, 2 RBI, 5 BB, 7 K
3-16 string would be bad enough, but Rabbit also had a bad week with the glove. This is a winnable job for Rabbit, but only if he raises his game. 3 or 4 guys are ahead of him for the last infield spot.

Portland Beavers
OF Charlie Denton 23-51, 8 R, 5 2B, 3B, 4 RBI, 5 BB, 9 K
Showing all the signs of have a phemoninal season.

1B Jimmy Fitzpatrick 9-31, 7 R, 2B, 4 HR, 11 RBI, 3 BB, 3 K
Good numbers, but again, Trosky is hanging close. For the good of your team, you must bury Hal Trosky.

Sacramento Salons
2B Anton Gogolak 15-43, 8 R, 7 2B, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 4 BB, 4 K
The big news for the Solons was Jungle Jim Rivera breaking his hand and being out 6 weeks. Instead of a kid who can hit and run and field all over the place, 36 year old Jo-Jo White will be asked to hold down the fort a few weeks.

Salt Lake City Saints
SS Dashiell Spivey 11-24, 8 R, 2B, HR, 10 RBI, 6 BB, 2 K
I think the Saints can put together a passible line up around Spivey, but this is going to be a deadball team. Lots of little ball, because there is almost no home run power here. Better have good pitching, because this is not a club that can come back.

San Diego Padres
P Rod Lockheart 21.1 IP, 23 H, 10 ER, 6 BB, 22 K
Had a dominating outing followed by another average one. I still think he ends up in the top part of the rotation. A couple guys are having really good springs, so right now I'd have Rod slotted for the 4 spot.

[Vince]

Great to see Lockheart and Cressio getting it done. I hadn't caught up with this dynasty in a while, good to see it still going strong. Keep up the good work!

[fantastic flying froggies]

what's the difference between blue and red ?

[SelzShoes]

what's the difference between blue and red ?
Players in blue are on the opening day roster as of this moment
Players in red have some work to do to make the roster, as of this moment.

[SelzShoes]

In some ways, both players are not performing to expectation. That is good for Cressio and bad for Lockheart.

Shortstop is not a deep position for the Stars. Vince and Red Barkley are the only "true" shortstops on the major league ST roster. Neither guy was doing too good out of the gate, but when Barkley developed blisters on his fingers and sat for a week--the kid took off.

I don't know if he has to hit this well during the season for the Stars to win; but if he can't do the job, the Stars have really no other option. That is a problem all of the PCL/CL expansion clubs have--after a couple of starters, there is no bench strength. A big injury to one player could kill a season.

Cressio has not been very good early with the glove. But the rest of the club should be able to pick up thier play. I like him as a No. 2 or 7/8 slot with the Stars.

Lockheart I really expected to be a big time starter--and he did show me something in his 3rd start. Otherwise, he's been very ordinary.

If you figure there are 15 pitchers in camp (I've played with Era, league and team settings for max. pinch hitting and relief pitching) and 10 are going to make the roster; here is where Lockheart sits.

Right now 3 players won't make the team because of underuse. If the manager won't use them now, he won't use them later. 1 guy has already pitched himself out of a job, so in reality we have 11 pitchers for 10 spots. So, as long as he isn't the worst pitcher on the roster for the last half of ST, he's going to make the club. While I see him ending the season as the No. 1, we have to wait to see where he starts the season. Bud Byerly, Bill Klinger, Al Brazle, Luis Tiant, Eddie Lopat and Ed Wright are all ahead of Rod in the pitching charts right now. 7th place on a 10 man staff. Still, better than No. 1 at AAA.

I still think by the time ST ends, Lockheart will be at worst No. 3 in the rotation, if not higher. He has given up a high number of EXBH to right handed hitters which has hurt him this spring.

If there is a created player or "real" player you'd like a semi-coherant ramble about, go ahead and ask. I'll do my best to accomidate.

[SirFozzie]

I'd ask for one about Donovan, but god, it's depressing.. he looked to be a starter, and now may not even make the roster?

[SelzShoes]

I'd ask for one about Donovan, but god, it's depressing.. he looked to be a starter, and now may not even make the roster?
Rabbit Donovan is letting a great opprotunity pass him by. I really think he is good enough to be the everyday shortstop; but the performance hasn't been there.

Each team will have 5, maybe 6 infielders. Right now, Donovan is behind Clem Koshorek, who is probably the starting shortstop now. Mark Christman has the 3rd base job and Sammy Hughes will man second. Of the remaining 6 infielders, Harry Malmberg hasn't played enough to win a spot; and Stu Martin hasn't hit a lick. Of the remaining 4 infielders, Rabbit is the fourth best.

All is not lost. Randy Jackson and Gil Torres are both passable in the depth chart, so a strong finish could get him a back up job. Got to make the squad first, right.

Whoever ends up on the team, this looks to be a real punch and judy club. A firstbaseman or outfielder who can leave the park would help the club. But I don't know if the projected firstbaseman can leave the infield, let alone the ballpark.

[Izulde]

How does Wally stack up against Willy in terms of potential in the eyes of the scouts, etc? It sounds like barring a move, they'll be competing against each other over the next couple seasons to determine who is the future shortstop for the franchise.

[SelzShoes]

All teams have played 24 games; we are 3/4 of the way through spring training. At this point it is going to take something special to make a roster if you haven't locked a spot up yet.

Baltimore Athletics
P Winston Lafayette 5 G, 15.1 IP, 8 ER, 2 BB, 15 K

Needed a great outing and got it. 12 K with no walks, spot on team is assured. On the fringe of the rotation, next performance is all about what his role will be with the A's.

Buffalo Bison
P Achilles Brown 5 GS, 16 IP, 24 H, 11 ER, BB, 9 K

He is just on the the wrong side, the 11th man on a 10 man staff. He can't have a bad outing and he needs better than average. Gut check time.

OF Graham Walker 6-21, 5 R, HR, 2 RBI, 3 BB, 7 K

A 1-9 slump has taken him out of consideration for the opening day roster. He made an impression, and is on the the top of the list for OF call-ups.

Columbus Clippers
P Owen Hunter 1 IP, 2 K

Another appearanceless set of games. Did you make manager Harold Anderson mad?

Hollywood Stars
2B Maximus Meridius 25-60, 17 R, 4 2B, 3B, 5 HR, 13 RBI, 6 BB, 9 K

Save some for the regular season.

3B Harley Gathers 11-33, 8 R, 2 2B, 3B, 3 HR, 6 RBI, 3 BB, 10 K

Is rounding into form nicely. This could be the best hitting infield in baseball.

SS Vince Cressio 13-41, 2B, HR, 9 RBI, 7 BB, 10 K

1-14 slide, while Barkley goes 6-12. Still, I think he makes the club, maybe getting 2 starts a week at first.

Minneapolis Millers
SS Wally Klukas
I'll do a bit more detailed look at Wally in a future post.

Phoenix Cowboys
SS Rabbit Donovan 12-59, 4 R, 3 2B, 3 RBI, 7 BB, 11 K

Didn't do much to help his cause, but a couple other guys went into free falls. He's right there for the 5th infielder spot. Not on the club at the moment.

Portland Beavers
OF Charlie Denton 28-79, 12 R, 7 2B, 3B, HR, 9 RBI, 7 BB, 13 K

In a bit of a slump . . . for him. All-round great numbers.

1B Jimmy Fitzpatrick 18-45, 9 R, 3 2B, 6 HR, 14 RBI, 5 BB, 5 K

Finally put Trosky away. Love the power/average combo.

Sacramento Salons
2B Anton Gogolak 16-63, 10 R, 7 2B, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 8 BB, 9 K

1-20 slump and he is still has no competition for the second base job. The Solons will have a good starter at all four infield positions, but the back ups will give nothing in terms of offense. If they can stay healthy (and Rivera combes back ok), a run at the PCL title is a possiblity.

Salt Lake City Saints
SS Dashiell Spivey 16-42, 8 R, 2 2B, HR, 10 RBI, 8 BB, 3 K

Roy Hughes is putting on a late charge for the starting job, but Spivey's power and discipline should keep the job safely in hand.

San Diego Padres
P Rod Lockheart 32.2 IP, 37 H, 17 ER, 12 BB, 39 K

Another "Bad Start/Good Start" set of games. Hasn't really improved his position from the last set. Still a shot to get in the rotation IF he has a couple good appearance.

[SelzShoes]

How does Wally stack up against Willy in terms of potential in the eyes of the scouts, etc? It sounds like barring a move, they'll be competing against each other over the next couple seasons to determine who is the future shortstop for the franchise.
Minneapolis Millers
Wally Klukas Age 19 6-25, 3 R, 2B, 3 RBI, BB, 6 K, SB

Leaving Mike Milosevich out of the picture, there are two other players Wally is battling for the long time job with.

Tod Davis Age 21 8-30, R, 2B, 3 RBI, 0 BB, 6 K
Willy Miranda Age 19 2-20, BB, 3 K

Defensively Range Pct
Miranda 6.75 .879
Klukas 3.93 1.000
Davis 7.60 .983

At the moment, none of these three player will make the opening day roster.

Tod Davis as the oldest, is probably the one closest to being "ready". This guy could be a decent backup infielder if things break right. But I can't see him being a long term starter for the Millers. He's a contact guy who might, in a good year, hit .270. Combine the absence of power and speed, Davis has a dead end career. Looks to be a fabulous defensive shortstop, but there isn't enough potential for the Millers to make him the No. 1 guy.

Now the player Klukas has to worry about is Willy Miranda. The Cuban switch hitter has struggled this spring, both in the field and at the bat, but scouts aren't down on him. The skill set is perfect for a Lead Off/No. 2 hitter for some team. Enough power to keep the outfielders honest, and decent enough legs to not kill rallies. Miranda is a safe choice to bet on; his offensive skill set fits with the ideal shortstop.

But neither of the above have impressed the scouts like Wally Klukas. Now, he is probably doing the Millers a favor by not having a great spring. The celing is so high for Wally; the power/average combo could make him one of the most lethal hitters in any league. But as close as his performance has shadowed Davis, it is too early for Wally. There is a "swing first" mentality that causes the scouts to pause. Miranda makes contact, Klukas can have trouble doing the same.

Both Klukas or Miranda could be moved for a veteran "difference maker" if the Millers can get into the race. I would think Miranda would be more likely to be traded. Miranda is closer to his peaks than Klukas: Willy isn't going to get much better than he his today. Wally will get a lot better, and even if he fails to reach his peak--he'll still be a better hitter than Miranda.

I think we break this season with Davis and Klukas at AAA, and Miranda at AA. By end of next season I think someone will be moved, and the other will have the job waiting for them. Along with Ray Jablonski and Roy Hartsfield, the Millers have foundation for a solid infield crew for the next decade.

I'm glad to see my friend Winston came through!

[SelzShoes]

I'm glad to see my friend Winston came through!
I'm glad so many of the created players are doing so well. At the moment (with 1/4 of ST to go) I'd say we have 9 players who should make their team. 2 Players are on the borderline of making the club and only 3 are definately in the minors.

My current plan is to finish out ST play this week. Then spend the next couple weeks getting the opening day rosters/depth charts/pitching staffs set up; while still keeping the ST storylines going. I'd like to think the actual regular season could start by the end of May, but early June is probably more likely.

I forgot to note that it is also likely that if the Millers keep both Miranda and Klukas, one could be moved to 2B--probably Klukas, since his range isn't quite as good as Miranda's.

[Sublime 2]

Wow Meridius is crushing the ball in spring-ball. Sucks that Owen Hunter isn't seeing the innings but IIRC he was the young guy i made, so maybe he can pick it up.

edit: I just caught up on this today, looking great!

Hunter is the kid pitcher; if he had gotten some innings, I think he could have made a run at a spot on the pitching staff. The Clippers have a fairly veteran staff:


Pitchers Age W- L ERA SO
Marv Breuer 31 17- 16 4.35 148
George Caster 38 48- 80 4.97 421
Jess Dobernic 28 0- 1 13.50 1
Tom Ferrick 31 8- 10 3.77 30
Art Herring 40 16- 25 4.78 150
Al Hollingsworth 38 34- 67 4.28 374
Les McCrabb 31 10- 15 5.32 55
Archie McKain 34 25- 20 4.27 182
Bobo Newsom 38 133-122 4.25 1308
Jack Salveson 32 4- 6 4.48 50

So breaking the club was a tall order to begin with. Getting regular starts at AAA will probably be better for him, long-term, than hit or miss time with the Clips. Scouts think he'll be a very good starter, but we just haven't seen enough from him.

Meridius has been everything the Stars could hope for and more. And with Merson's torn hammy and Weintraub's retirement, Max will be expected to provide 150-160 games of such production (remember, we have a 168 game sked). I still think the Stars are the best team in the PCL, but the gap between them and the Seattle/Portland/Sacramento trio has shrunk considerably since the beginning of ST.

[Izulde]

Fantastic writeup on Wally, thanks :) I do agree he'd be a better fit for second, given how critical range is at shortstop.

[SelzShoes]

Anytime any of you want some words on your player (or any player for that matter) just ask.

Regular updates will come after each week of gameplay.

Spring Training will end tonight.

[SelzShoes]

Spring training is over; however spring training storyline post will still be made for a little while. The next project is setting the 24/25 man rosters, depth charts, and pitching staffs. This could take a couple weeks. The next player update will be on opening day. Each player's debut, either at the major league or minor league level, will be noted. Thereafter, at the end of each week of play, a report will be done. I'll answer a direct question about any player as you'd like as well.

The roster designations are NOT final at this point. A player has not "made the team" until I post their team's roster in the roster thread. It is conceviable a player I think has made the team really hasn't.

Baltimore Athletics
P Winston Lafayette 7 G, 27.1 IP, 14 ER, 2 BB, 22 K

Had a big hiccup in his second to last start (3.1 IP, 5 ER), and then came right back with a big time start (8.2 IP, 1 ER). Didn't walk a batter over his last 20 IP. Pretty sure he starts the season on the major league roster, but I think he's going to start in long relief. The big question is will he ever get left handed hitters out (they hit .447 off him in the spring)? Unless he conquers that part of his game, I don't see him getting out of the bullpen very often. Control makes him very valuable; possible innings eater.

Buffalo Bison
P Achilles Brown 6 GS, 21.1 IP, 28 H, 14 ER, 2 BB, 12 K

He was better, but I don't think it was good enough. There is a group of 4 that's right on the edge of that 10th spot. I like the control; but he needs at least 1/2 year at AAA. Scouts liked him more and more as camp went along.

OF Graham Walker 8-32, 8 R, 2B, HR, 2 RBI, 4 BB, 9 K

Ends camp 3-20, but made an impression. Look, Lloyd Waner will probably retire after this season; and Felix Mackiewicz might put up superficially good numbers, but what kind of future do you have if you can't win the job outright from a 40-year old? Buffalo was the surprise team of camp (21-11, best record of the CL/PCL teams)--they may not be in a rush to call Graham up this year. I think I'm getting another possible thread for next season with these two. Basically this year, Gus Zernial will hit home runs. If there are enough men on base, they'll win.

Columbus Clippers
P Owen Hunter 1 IP, 2 K

Forget about this, just throw like you can at AAA. The staff is older, that means injuries and retirements. Mid-season could be your time.

Hollywood Stars
2B Maximus Meridius 31-79, 21 R, 5 2B, 3B, 6 HR, 16 RBI, 9 BB, 14 K

Big numbers, early PCL MVP canidate?

3B Harley Gathers 15-46, 8 R, 3 2B, 3B, 3 HR, 8 RBI, 3 BB, 10 K

Started slow, but after that: Professional Hitter. Really nice 1-2 punch for the Stars.

SS Vince Cressio 16-65, 2B, HR, 10 RBI, 8 BB, 14 K

4-38 slide, and Red Barkley was white hot. He isn't a lock to make the club now, he is part of a "3-guys, 2 roster spots" combo. I don't think he'll be in the minors long, but that's where this slump has put him. I said this was the only way Cressio couldn't make the team--slump with Barkley getting hot. Turned heads early, and that gets the name out there.

Minneapolis Millers
Wally Klukas 8-34, 4 R, 2B, 4 RBI, BB, 7 K, SB

Very consistent throughout camp, but not enough power yet to bring put him on the major league roster. The Millers were also a camp surprise (20-12) on the arm of the pitching staff. I suspect Miranda could be moved for a firstbaseman--the combo of Dahlgren and Limmer hit a combined .116 this spring.

Phoenix Cowboys
SS Rabbit Donovan 18-78, 7 R, 5 2B, 8 RBI, 9 BB, 13 K

Finally started hitting, but is it too little too late? I think it was just enough.

Portland Beavers
OF Charlie Denton 39-107, 18 R, 8 2B, 3B, HR, 9 RBI, 9 BB, 16 K

Expect these kind of numbers all year.

1B Jimmy Fitzpatrick 21-57, 11 R, 4 2B, 7 HR, 16 RBI, 8 BB, 9 K

Slowed down a bit, but still showed good power.

The pitching just isn't there guys. Be content to put up really nice numbers for this season, and hope for a better tomorrow.

Sacramento Salons
2B Anton Gogolak 19-76, 14 R, 8 2B, 2 HR, 11 RBI, 13 BB, 13 K

He's slumping out of camp, but the Solons did have the best PCL record (18-12) in spring training. This club can absorb a slump, but with both Jorgensen and Rivera out to start the season, the margin of error shrinks.

Salt Lake City Saints
SS Dashiell Spivey 19-51, 11 R, 3 2B, HR, 11 RBI, 11 BB, 4 K

Another very good player on a not so good team. Harry Brecheen and Spivey will be the most frustrated players in baseball by the end of the season.

San Diego Padres
P Rod Lockheart 46.2 IP, 44 H, 17 ER, 15 BB, 53 K

Ends spring with 14 shutout innings. Only question left is did he make the rotation? Bud Byerly has a hurt arm. They may want him to pitch himself healthy in the minors, giving Lockheart a better chance to start. It will be close.

[Vince]

Ouch...rough end of the Spring for Cressio.

[SelzShoes]

Since I’ve heard back from most of our player creators the feeling among them is to wait to post rosters when I can also do depth charts/pitching staff at the same time.

Since we do have a few players “on the edge” of making the team, I will notify the creators when I know the roster status of their player(s).

Depending on what I can get done this weekend, the opening day rosters are around 2 weeks from being set up. In the meantime, I do have some storyline post that I need to get on the board, so there will be some CIE action going on between then and now.

[SelzShoes]

A bit of a surprise here; I thought neither created player would make the squad and they both did!

Graham Walker is Lloyd Waner's backup in CF; which I take to mean he will be the everyday man about halfway through, unless the Bison are as good as thier spring indicates. Walker was the last OF/1B to make the team, so his spot isn't safe.

Achilles Brown also made the team by the skin of his teeth. Tenth man on a 10 man staff. Don't expect alot of innings or quality innings; and if there are struggles, the kid will be on a train out of town.

[SelzShoes]

Winston Lafayette as expected, has made the A's. There is a chance he could be starting, but we won't know that for awhile. At worst could be a Fred Marberry type, getting important relief innings.

[SelzShoes]

Owen Hunter as expected is sent to the minors. What was not expected was that he was sent to AA. The Clips did sign an abundace of veteran pitchers (albeit not good ones) so, AA is were the innings will be. Right now the goal should be work into a AAA pitcher.

[SelzShoes]

Wally Klukas, who I thought would start the season in the high minors, will actually start the year in A ball. But this is not a bad thing, as we get a picture of the Millers' long range plans. Both Miranda and Klukas are at A, which makes sense if the Millers are going to keep both players. One will move to second, with the other at short. This way the two of them will develop together and be comfortable moving through the system. Both players will at least end the season in AA, maybe even AAA if they show enough. The Millers have committed themselves to developing talent; so even a late peak in the show is possible, but 1947 is more realistic an arrival time.

[SelzShoes]

All three of our created Stars make the club.

Maximus Meridius and Harley Gathers had locked up a roster spot early in camp. The only question is do they have enough help on offense to win the PCL.

Vince Cressio does just enough to keep a back up job with the Stars. If the Stars need to add another OF/1B, I think he could be the one farmed out.

[SelzShoes]

Rabbit Donovan makes the club by the slimest of margins. He is the last infielder to make the squad--which has been true of every "on the edge" player we have had. His hot streak at the end of camp was just enough.

[SelzShoes]

Jimmy Fitzpatrick and Charlie Denton make the team. Heck,these two are the 1-2 punch that will get the Beavers going. It will be news if these two are not the offensive leaders of this club.

[SelzShoes]

Anton Goglak ended the camp in a terrible slump, but he was so far ahead of the next best second baseman it did not matter. With Eddie Lake and Spider Jorgensen (when he gets healthy) he'll be a part of a very good offensive infield for the Solons.

[SirFozzie]

Allllright! Know Rabbit won't get to play much, but at least he's on the team :)

[SelzShoes]

Dashiell Spivey, be prepared to be the most dominating player on the PCL's worst team. I'd like to have some words of hope, but i can't see any right now.

[SelzShoes]

Rod Lockheart was the most frustrating created player for me to watch this spring. In his 8 spring starts, only 3 were as dominting as I though he could be. Thankfully for Rod, the last 14 IP (0 R, 0.71 WHIP) were what was expected from him, so that bodes well for the future.

[SelzShoes]

Allllright! Know Rabbit won't get to play much, but at least he's on the team :)
Got to make the club first. After spending most of the spring off the roster, that last 1/4 of ST, Rabbit started doing little things managers like to see: getting on base and showing a little power. While Gil Torres and Mark Christman kept sinking in the charts, Rabbit picked up his game just enough.

If his season long performance is more in line with the last 1/4 than the first 3/4, he will be a valued bench performer. The biggest worry for Rabbit should be the weakness at first base for the Cowboys. If a trade is made before Donovan can establish himself as the top back up infielder, he'll probably be sent to AAA. He has to start strong.

Keep your eyes now on the Roster thread. I'll soon be posting the Opening Day rosters, line ups, pitching staffs and some general comments about the squads.

[SelzShoes]

Winston Lafayette will open the season as the relief ace of the A's. He didn't lose the 4th rotation spot by much, so there is a good chance he'll move into the rotation at some point in the season. Right now, all the important late innings will be yours.

[SelzShoes]

One of our mulitiple player teams; both players made the team, here are their roles.

Graham Walker will start the year as Lloyd Waner's back up in centerfield and the number 2 or 3 option for pinch hitting. It doesn't look like a whole lot of AB at this point. Probably would have been better served at AAA, but the Bison are throwing all the kids into the fire. If he can make the best of the chances he gets he'll get more playing time.

Achilles Brown barely made the staff, but Jewel Ens shows confidence in the young hurler. Achilles will be the No. 2 guy out of the bullpen. There is still a gap between Brown and making the rotation. It can be done, but a bad inning could be a huge setback--depending on how many innings he throws. Not the best situation, but not the worst situation either.

[SelzShoes]

Owen Hunter is the number 2 prospect for the Clippers and will start the year in the rotation at AA Providence. As the Clips figure to move some of their veterans for prospects; a major league appearance is not out of the question for this season.

[SelzShoes]

Wally Klukas will start his career with the Class A Troy (AL) Trojans, batting 3rd and playing short. The Millers are moving Miranda over the second. Klukas is the Number 1 prospect of the Millers.

[SelzShoes]

Maximus Meridius will hit number 4 in the order and be one of the best offensive players in PCL. I really think he could win the MVP, if enough guys get on in front of him.

Harley Gathers will be getting on base alot for Meridius--but may drive in more runs. One of the top hitters in baseball, may split the MVP vote with Meridius.

Vince Cressio is starting the season as the number 1 back up at short. Maybe 1 game a week at this point. Great group of veterans to play with.

[SelzShoes]

Rabbit Donovan starts the year as the number 1 backup at short. He will probably get some games at second as well. But Rabbit is in probably the hardest situation for any of our major league roster players. The guy who is the everyday shortstop is the number 8 prospect in the organization, Rabbit is number 1. Both are good players, Clem is closer to his peaks right now; Rabbit has the long term upside. The problem with having just kids to deal is usually teams in the pennant chase don't like to deal for kids. They'll do it in the off-season, but not in-season. Phoenix, like Minneapolis with Klukas/Miranda, has to decided do they keep both Donovan and Koshorek or move one for pitching? Probably won't find out until the off-season.

[SelzShoes]

Charlie Denton will hit 3rd in a potentially potent Portland offense. With Parnell Woods hitting 2, Denton will be hitting with men on alot. If Newsome gets on consistnetly, Denton should pass 100 runs and 100 RBI.

Jimmy Fitzpatrick will get all the RBI that Denton doesn't get. He has good protection in the 5 spot, so this clean up hitter will clean up. Will challenge Meridius of Hollywood for the top slugger of the PCL.

[SelzShoes]

Anton Gogolak had a very unpleasant end to his spring, going into a 4-34 slump over the last weeks. It could have been worse, he was 1-29 before a couple pinch hits. All in all, he did have a good spring, starting very hot. He will bat 5th versus right handers and 3rd against lefties. I think the 3rd slot might be too high, as he struggled against lefties. There really isn't the depth here for anyone to challenge his spot, so I don't think there is danger of him losing the job. Should be a key bat for a pennant contender.

[SelzShoes]

Dashiell Spivey will have an MVP type season for probably the worst club in baseball. Hitting third, he is the most important cog in the offense. If he is hitting, they have a chance to win the game. Overall the RBI and Run number will be lower than expected because the terrible offense surrounding him. Could be moved for "major league ready" kids.

[SelzShoes]

Rod Lockheart starts off as the #2 starter, behind Eddie Lopat. It tells you something about how good he is when I thought he underperformed and ends up the number 2. Could be frustrating season depending on how good the offense turns out to be. Needs to get off to a quick start. The staff is so deep, an early slip could result into a trip to the bullpen, which may be hard to get out of.

[SelzShoes]

Josephus Bricker will play for the Kansas City Monarchs. His major league rights are owed by the Phoenix Cowboys. If Big Joey can draw a walk or two, a real problem for him in the tryout camp, I can see Joey playing in the PCL this season.

[Vince]

Good to hear that both Lockheart and Cressio made the team. Sad that Cressio's not the starter, but worse things could have happened.

[SelzShoes]

What good timing you have.

All 3 of our created Stars made their debut on opening day. Not a very good day for the trio.

Harley Gathers 1-5, 3 K

Max Meridius 0-5, 3 K

Vince Cressio 0-1

Both Gathers and Meridius came up empty with men on base; Max had a chance to bring Hollywood closer in the 9th and failed to get on base.

Cressio came into the game as a pinch hitter for Allie Clark in the 7th. He didn't get a chance to swing as Mike Kreevich was picked off to end the inning. Cressio stayed in the game and lead off the 8th, failing to get on base.

[SelzShoes]

Winston Lafayette 1.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 1 HRA

I brought in Winston trying to keep the game close and for 6 batters he was doing the job. Reiser's homer didn't mean much in terms of the outcome, but I would have liked Winston to get out unharmed. He'll have to have a good string of outings to stay in the hunt for a rotation job.

[SelzShoes]

Buffalo Bison

Graham Walker collected a 9th inning pinch-hit single in his first appearance. Lloyd Waner, who Graham is backing up, hit two doubles however, showing he is not yet ready to call it quits.

Minneapolis Millers

Wally Klukas went 3-4 in his first game with the Troy Trojans.

Phoenix Cowboys.

Rabbit Donovan flew out to center in his pinch-hit appearance.

Salt Lake City Saints

Dashiell Spivey went 0-4 in his first game. If he could have gotten a hit or two, Harry Brecheen's great performance might not have been wasted.

Portland Beavers

Charlie Denton had a nice little game, 1-3, with a run, walk and a stolen base. He also had two strikeouts, which isn't as good, but opening day jitters (or the rain) may have played into that.

Jimmy Fitzpatrick did what he was supposed to do, 2-4, a run and RBI. I expect monster seasons from both of these players.

Sacramento Salons

Anton Gogolak was part of a very balanced and even attack by the Salons on opening day. 1-4 and run and RBI.

[Izulde]

Great start, Grandpa. :)

[SelzShoes]

Buffalo Bison
Achillies Brown came in after the horse was gone but did his job. With two runners on and the Blues threatening to extend the lead even further, Brown got a strike out and fly ball to end the inning. He was removed for a pinch hitter in the next half inning.

San Diego Padres
Rod Lockheart pitched a good game but showed some problems late in the outing. In the 6th, Lockheart walked two men, though he did not give up a run. In the 7th, a lead off single was followed by a home run from left-handed Aaron Robinson. Rod will have a lot of loses like this during the season.

Negro League
Joey Bricker made his first start for the Monarchs, going 0-4 with 2 strikeouts.

[SelzShoes]

Great start, Grandpa. :)
He's gone ice cold since, but it was a nice start.

Something for Grandpa to worry about (see roster thread for complete list) is of the 9 Negro Leaguers Minneapolis holds the service rights to, 5 are infielders. Only one (31 year old Bus Clarkson) is the only shortstop, still, it isn't like the Millers are short on shortstop prospects.

BTW, Wally Klukas is rated the 6th best prospect in all of baseball!

[SelzShoes]

I'll post players' stats after every week of play. If you would like a more indepth 'report' feel free to ask. If you don't have a created player and would like to know about a 'real' player, you can ask that here as well.

Winston had a very rough first week in the majors, he was trusted with two leads and lost them both. His second week was the type of pitching Ruth was hopeing for.

His problem is not the number of hits, but how many are for extra bases. Four of seven have been at least a double. Thankfully the control has been impecible and has limited the damage.

But I will tell you this--Ruth likes Lafayette and I would not be surprised if Winston is in the rotation. The starters have been wild and that has made for a real fight for a club with little power. Those first two outings can be written off as jitters. We know he can get outs, but can he limit the extra base hits? That will be the question when the move happens.

[SelzShoes]

Has not appeared in a game for the AA Providence Chiefs. Was traded from Columbus with Martin Dihigo and Dan Bankhead to the Brooklyn Dodgers. He has been assigned to AA Mobile Bears where he is made the number one starter. This is the #3 pitching prospect in baseball, and the Clippers wouldn't pitch him. Now Ralph Branca will be a good pitcher, but Hunter will be better longer I think.

He has hit .250 in that role, which is decent for a rookie pinch hitter. Lloyd Waner has been struggling as the starting centerfielder. I don't think Waner will get better, he can only worse at this point. If Walker can sneak in a few more hits he will be the starter. The performance of fellow rookies Chuck Harmon and Gus Zernial will make it easier for the club to push aside Waner somewhat greatful.

Brown did not get into a game this last week. The dreadful Bison (2-10. 0-6 at home) need to do something drastic--Brown in the rotation is one of the shake up's being contemplated. I get the feeling Achillies will be yanked in and out of the rotation all season long.

After starting the year in a 4-24 slump, Max is finding his groove as a hitter. However, there are signs he still has a way to go before really showing how potent his bat can be.

In an effort to be a 'patient' hitter, he has been hitting behind in the count consistantly. The walks are great but this era does not look to kindly on the high strike out rate. The limited evidence shows that when Max is aggressive in the box, the hits go up and the strike outs go down. The Stars would like to see more run production from the presumed PCL MVP.

There isn't a lot of competition for the starting role, so it will take injury or 'falling off the cliff type slump' to pull Max to the bench.

Hog has been Mr. Automatic for the Stars. Getting the hits to continue an inning or drive in the run; he has been super consistant. With Meridus starting to find his groove, Harley should start scoring lots of runs.

His power has been of the doubles variety; I like that thinking from the third slots. What I don't like is the lack of walks. Granted he has been making contact--lots of contact--he is not going to hit .400 for the season.

Harley is the early team leader in several catagories. It has to be frustrating for these two to know they are performing at high levels while the rest of the offense stagnates. They need another bat or two to help the Stars out.

Could one of those bats be on the team already? Vince lost the starting job in spring training more than Red Barkley won it. And two weeks into the season, Cressio is on the brink of winning the job back. The fans are taking a shine to the kid. Just like Minnie Minoso out east, when Vince enters the game, something is about to happen. Something good is about to happen.

Everything this team has asked of the young shortstop he has done. With his spark for a full game might help pull the pre-season favorite Stars pull out of fifth and back into a fight for the PCL title.

Grandpa Wally has been haveing trouble at the plate ever since his debut. On the plus side, noone else in the organization is hitting either. Miranda is getting a look in centerfield, effectivley eliminating him as a competitor for the future SS job. Tod Davis at AA Sherbrooke is not doing anything either. Scouts are still high on Wally, so once he gets his swing down should cruise through the organization.

It is hard to get a read on how well Rabbit is doing. Good job pinch hitting and has been good with the glove. He just can't seem to get good wood the second time around. His pinch hits have been early in the game or when there is no one left on the bench.

In danger of being farmed out, but a couple hits would go a long way to staying on the team. And as long as starter Clem Koshorek struggles, there is a slim shot at starting.

The most amazing thing about Jimmy's early season RBI binge is the relative lack of extra base hits. He has just put his effort into meeting the ball and not mashing it, as he could. His production with a runner in scoring position is phemoninal.

The numbers just speak for themselves--when the power comes he'll put up MVP numbers.

Unless of course the MVP voters go for his teammate Denton. Denton's number are not as big as Fitzpatrick's right now, but I think this is a good picture of what his whole season will be like. Both guys will score and drive in over 100 runs, it will be hard to chose among them.

The oddest thing about Denton is while he is 8 for 8 with steals, he has hit into 3 double plays already.

Gogolak is part of four hitters who is keeping hope alive for the Salons. He gets big hits and is playing like a star. However, his supporting cast is costing the Salons' wins.

Gogo should be the anchor in the three spot, but more often than not, he is where the hitting starts. The Salons did make some changes to the pitching and position players, but I'm not sure they have the hitting to contend for the PCL crown. Gogolak, if he maintains this level of production, gives Sacramento a chance. And if one or two more start finding the holes, then a pennant there might be.

Dash is one of the leading hitters, with Connie Ryan and Paul Waner, of the worst pitching club in major league baseball. Because of a inadequate pitching the Saints have to outslug their rivals everyday. Spivey is certainly doing his part in that matter. The power isn't quite there yet, but he can do marvlous things with the bat. Saints will have to decide whether to trade Spivey or build around him.

Without much surprise (and despite a subpar last start) Rod has established himself as the Pads number one starter. Control has not been as exceptional as it could be, but he makes enough hitters miss to not let it hurt. Lefties seem to have the power stroke locked in--this could cost runs down the line.

San Diego is hanging around .500 on the strength of its arms. In a roster shake up many of the rookies who started the season with San Diego have been farmed out for some veterans. If this group can do more with the bat, then a guy like Rod has a chance to be the pitcher of the year in the PCL.
