Just a quick run through of where our Spotlight players are as season 1906 gets underway:

Ed Head is currently an unsigned FA and I don’t hold much hope of him making any further appearances in the league.

Otto Hess is heading the rotation for Bridgeport, the Giants’ PSL club, where he has so far gone 3-2 with a 5.62 ERA. He seems destined to play out the remainder of his career (he is in his age-33 season now) in the minors.

Arnold Hauser has made just 2 plate appearances so far this season for Wichita Falls, going 0-for-1 with a walk and a run scored.

Rawmeat Bill Rodgers is at Reading and has also only seen limited game time, hitting .154 with 2 ribbies in 26 AB.

After a solid season for Fort Worth last year, Dave Rozema is struggling so far in ‘06, with a blowout ERA of 10.12 in just 2+ IP.

Dickey Kerr was traded in the offseason from Cleveland to the World Champion New York Highlanders, where he has made a bright start for his new club with a 3-1 record and sparkling 1.70 ERA.

Harry Lumley continues to be an integral member of the Chicago White Sox, although for him 1906 has begun indifferently with a .284 BA and just 5 RBI.

Johnny Broaca is now holding down the closer’s role for the Phillies, where he has so far gone 3-2 with an ERA of 3.38 in 40 innings of work.

Craig Shipley is stuck at Cedar Rapids and isn’t getting much playing time at all, having gone just 1-for-3 to this point.

After starring for the NL Champion Chicago Cubs last season, Tom Tresh has again started promisingly with a .294 BA and 6 RBI.

Curt Roberts, Cy Seymour and Ray Starr are all now former players.

More updates at the end of the year.
