Spring Training: Week 2
A near perfect week for the Cougars saw them finish 5-1. Chicago leads the CA with Cincinnati, as both teams sit at 8-4 and a game above the Philadelphia Sailors.
Who's Hot
RHP Joe Brown: He ran it back, 4 frames with 2 hits, a run, walk, and strikeout
RHP Hooks Camp: His outing this week was much better then last, 5 shutout frames with 5 hits, a walk, and 5 strikeouts
2B Clark Car: After a rough first week, the Cougars new second basemen was 6-for-15 with a double, homer, 4 runs, and 4 RBIs
2B Ossie Grogan: Same for Grogan, who this time was 5-for-11 with a double and steal
RHP Milt Fritz: Another start with no earned runs from Fritz, as he looks to earn the fifth spot. He went 4 with 5 hits and a walk, and has now allowed 10 hits and 2 walks in 8 spring innings
LHP Johnnie Jones: Sure, he walked 4, but he didn't allow a hit and struck out 2 in a 4 inning relief outing
LHP Dick Lyons: The 41-year-old allowed just 3 hits in 4 shutout innings
CF Aart MacDonald: He was awful last week, but the out of options outfielder went 5-for-10 with a double, 2 RBIs, and 3 walks
RF Cliff Moss: Hard to have a better week then the veteran Cliff Moss had; 7-for-10 with a double, RBI, 2 runs, and 2 walks
2B Ollie Page: Back-to-back good weeks for middle infielder Ollie Page. The now 32-year-old was 0-for-2 with a walk and run on his birthday, ending his 5-for-12 week with a double and triple. Page is hitting an impressive .429/.478/.619 in 24 Spring PAs
C Solly Skidmore: Big first Spring week for our top position prospect, as Solly Skidmore was 5-for-12 with a double, 2 runs, and 4 RBIs.
1B Dick Walker: Walker somehow matched Moss, 7-for-10, but with a steal and 3 RBIs, to go with his pair of runs scored
Who's Not
3B Bill Graham: The non-roster infielder was just 1-for-8 with 3 strikeouts
RHP Jim Lonardo: A non-ace like performance from Jim Lonardo, who was tagged with 9 hits and 5 runs with 2 walks and a strikeout in 4 frames, while picking up the only loss of the week
RHP John Little: The spring has not gone well for the 26-year-old, who allowed 9 hits and 7 runs (2 earned) with 2 walks and 3 strikeouts. He went 3.2 innings, his second outing of the spring. He now has 5.2 innings with 12 hits, 4 walks, and 4 earned runs
C Steve Mountain: Definitely overshadowed by Solly, Mountain was 0-for-8, but he did walk three times
