Well, I couldn't wait to do a player report. It's very exciting to have gotten this close to the actual factual season!
All teams have played 8 games.

Baltimore Athletics
P Winston Lafayette 2 G, 1.1 IP, 4 ER, 1 BB

Wasn't really ready for his first start after thowing an inning in relief a couple days earlier. Has to have a really bad spring not to make team, so let's give him a mulligan for this quarter.

Buffalo Bison
P Achilles Brown GS, 3 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 3 K

Can't really tell where he stands yet. Next update should have a better idea.

OF Graham Walker 2-5, BB, 2 K

Graham needed a couple retirements to have a shot to win a bench spot on the Bison; he didn't get them. Right now, he has to put up numbers too good to ignore. He's maybe 6th on the OF depth chart right now.

Columbus Clippers
P Owen Hunter 1 IP, 2 K

Will he get enough innings to show what he can do?

Hollywood Stars
2B Maximus Meridius 9-22, 2B, 2 HR, 4 RBI, BB, 2 K

With Weintraub gone, Max has to provide power. Good signs early. Starting job is assured.

3B Harley Gathers 3-11, HR, 2 RBI, BB, 3 K

No real competition in camp for Harley; his job to lose.

SS Vince Cressio 4-19, 2B, 2 RBI, 4 K

Vince is struggling a bit, but consider two things: 1) there are only 2 'true' shortstops in camp; and 2) Vince is outperforming by a wide margin over the other guy. I can't say he's is winning the job at this point, but Barkley definately is losing it.

Minneapolis Millers
SS Wally Klukas 1-8, 3 K

On the good side, none of the four shortstops in camp is doing much hitting. If everyone is equally bad, do they try to win with Vets or build with kids? At this point, it is looking like the minors for Klukas.

Phoenix Cowboys
SS Rabbit Donovan 6-27, 2B, RBI, 3 BB, 5 K

Early stumble by Rabbit has made Clem Koshorek the leader in the position battle. It's not over, but Rabbit needs a little streak here.

Portland Beavers
OF Charlie Denton 14-26, 3 2B, 3 RBI, BB, 4 K

Has established himself as the offensive lynchpin of the Beavers.

1B Jimmy Fitzpatrick 4-18, 3 R, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 2 BB

I think Jimmy, as nice as these early numbers are, really needs a good spring. Hal Trosky's number are superficially close enough to Fitzpatrick to have both make the roster. That's just lost AB's for the Beavers.

Sacramento Salons
2B Anton Gogolak 8-23, 5 R, 2 2B, HR, 6 RBI, 2 BB, 2 K

In mid-season form. There is little infield talent, so his job is in no danger.

Salt Lake City Saints
SS Dashiell Spivey 6-11, 5 R, 2B, 3 RBI, 4 BB, 0 K

While Dash is having a superlative spring; the rest of the Saints are sadly lacking. Expect more of the same the whole season.

San Diego Padres
P Rod Lockheart 8.2 IP, 9 H, 6 ER, 4 BB, 8 K

May not open the season as the No. 1 (Bud Byerly has shown No. 1 stuff), he's still in the top of the rotation. Couple more starts should get the kinks out.
