Spring Training: Week 4

Finished up the Spring 2-3 to drop to second and 14-10. We finished two games behind the Stars, something I hope does not continue into the regular season. Most cuts will be made today, but I won't have a finalized roster until tomorrow.

Who's Hot
RHP Pug Bryan: Pug Bryan didn't start the spring well, but his last outing was impressive. He went 4 with 2 hits, a walk, and 4 strikeouts. He allowed 5 hits and 3 runs in his first start, and finished with 9 hits, 3 runs, 5 walks, and 8 strikeouts in 8 innings. I haven't decided if he's breaking camp with us, but he finished on the right side
2B Clark Car: Nice week for Car, who went 4-for-11 with a pair of doubles and 3 runs scored
RHP Donnie Jones: A strong final start for the Mole Killer, who allowed 5 hits, a run, and a walk with 6 strikeouts in 4 solid frames. Donnie finished the Spring 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 4 walks, and 9 strikeouts
LHP Dick Lyons: Dick Lyons matched Donnie Jones' 1.69 ERA with a 4 inning shutout in his final start. It was his second this spring, allowing 4 hits and 3 walks with a strikeout
CF Orlin Yates: Just 8 trips to the plate for Yates, but he doubled, singled twice, scored twice, and picked up a walk

Who's Not
RHP Milt Fritz: Fritz finally caved, allowing 6 hits, 5 runs, and 4 walks in his fourth four inning start. He did strike out 3, one more then the combined total of his first three starts, but it's looking like Donnie Jones will take the five spot
3B John Lawson: Our star slugger made just one start, going just 1-for-6. Still, he doubled, walked twice, and was hit
CF Aart MacDonald: No hits for Aart in an 0-for-7 week with a walk and run
2B Ollie Page: After a hot start for Page, he really cooled off, going just 1-for-13 with a pair of walks. He's actually heading to AAA as he would accept a minor league option while Johnny McDowell would not. I didn't want to DFA Tip Harrison, so Page was an unexpected casualty
