Spring Training: Week 2

All these 3-3 weeks are giving me not-so-pleasant flashbacks of last year's disappointing season... Good news is we are still healthy! Joe Brown did his best to cement his roster spot, four appearances across 6.1 innings with 4 hits, an earned run, and unearned run, 2 walks, and a strikeout. Pug did not, 4 hits, 2 runs, 4 walks, and 2 strikeouts in 3.1 innings pitched. Papenfus tossed a 1-hit "shutouts" with a hit, 2 walks, and 2 strikeouts. Fritz and Quinn would've done the same if it wasn't for unearned runs, with Milt allowing 2 hits, 4 walks, and an unearned run with a strikeout while Eddie was charged with a pair of unearned runs, a hit, 3 walks, and a strikeout. Harry Parker looked much better, 4 hits, a run, and a walk in his 4 innings. Dick Lyons was roughed up a bit, 5 hits, 3 runs, and a strikeout in 4 frames while Jim Lonardo allowed 4 hits and 2 runs in his 4 innings. Luke Conway still didn't get an innings, so I'm hoping moving him to the setup role will help. He's the only pitcher without an inning and we don't have a setup man listed. Everyone else has two or more frames.

Leon Drake quickly shook off his rust, 7-for-15 with a double, triple, RBI, and 3 runs scored in a much improved week. Billy Hunter hit two homers and drove in five while finishing 5-for-12 with a triple and five runs scored. Leo Mitchell was 5-for-13. Harry Mead was 4-for-10 with 2 doubles, a homer, and 4 RBIs. Freddie Jones was 4-for-7 with a double, homer, and 3 runs scored and driven in. Everyone but Tip Harrison got into a game this week, and all 35 players have at least one plate appearance in the Spring. I don't plan on sending anyone down until next sim, but the minor league season starts a day after the FABL season, so I don't have a need to clear the roster yet. I'm still debating on the bench, but I have a pretty good idea how the bullpen is going to end up. I know I will have to cut a lot of guys I'd prefer not cutting, and I haven't had much luck trading some of my guys who are too talented to waive, and I know will get claimed.
