Despite going just 3-4, we still hold a share of the Spring lead in the CA. Instead of Cincinnati, who is now a game behind us, we are tied with the 12-7 New York Stars. Mike Taylor is back and healthy, returning to the roster. We now have four catchers as I'm letting Solly stick around. Just five more games left, and each starter except Lonardo (who already made his) will get a fourth start. None of our starters have ERAs above 3 in this very small sample.

Who's Hot
RHP Joe Brown: One more start for Joe Brown, who has allowed a single run in all three of his four inning starts. This one he allowed his most hits (3), but with his fewest walks (0) and most strikeouts (5)
RHP Ben Curtin: Our stopper goes 9.1 in five games, finishing 1-0 with 7 hits, 2 walks, and an unearned run
RHP Ira Hawker: The young righty made two pen appearances, picking up a save in 10.2 innings with 6 hits, 3 runs, 4 walks, and 2 strikeouts
CF Bunny Hufford: Just 6 PAs for one of our top prospects, but the talented outfielder reached base in all but one of them. He was 4-for-5 with 2 doubles, 2 runs, a walk, and RBI
RHP Donnie Jones: If Milt Fritz wasn't also throwing gems, Donnie Jones would be guaranteed a roster spot. The talented youngster allowed 4 hits in 4 shutout innings. He is still 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA and 1.08 WHIP
LHP Cal Knight: The southpaw allowed his first run in 10 Spring innings. Knight has allowed just 4 hits with 4 strikeouts and 6 walks
RHP Jim Lonardo: His second start of the Spring last week was rough, but Lonardo threw back-to-back 4 inning shutouts this week. Discounting his one poor start, our ace has 12 scoreless with 7 hits, 2 walks, and 3 strikeouts. He finishes his Spring with a 2.81 ERA and 1.25 WHIP
LHP Dick Lyons: Another great start for Dick Lyons, 4 more innings with just 3 hits and a run
RHP Harry Parker: Same for Parker, 3 hits, a run, 3 walks, and 2 strikeouts to maintain his 2.25 ERA
1B Dick Walker: Is there a Spring MVP? If so, it should go to Dick Walker. The veteran first basemen was 6-for-15 with a double, which actually dropped his Spring line to .500/.553/.559

Who's Not
3B Bill Graham: He'll get a few more starts this week despite an 0-for-7 week
2B Freddie Jones: He homered again, but was just 1-for-9 on the week
RF Rich Langton: Tough week for the veteran outfielder, going just 1-for-13 with a walk
3B John Lawson: Same goes for John Lawson, just 2-for-12, although he is still hitting .344/.421/.531 so there is really nothing to worry about
SS Skipper Schneider: The young shortstop has not gotten off to a great start, 3-for-14 this week as he's hitting .216/.268/.351 in 41 PAs
LHP Ed Wilkinson: The former 4th Rounder had a scoreless frame in his debut last year, but has now allowed a run in three of his four appearances this Spring. He has allowed 6 hits and 3 solo homers in 2.1 innings pitched
CF Orlin Yates: Looks like AAA for Yates, going 0-for-11 in a rough showing
