All teams have played 24 games; we are 3/4 of the way through spring training. At this point it is going to take something special to make a roster if you haven't locked a spot up yet.

Baltimore Athletics
P Winston Lafayette 5 G, 15.1 IP, 8 ER, 2 BB, 15 K

Needed a great outing and got it. 12 K with no walks, spot on team is assured. On the fringe of the rotation, next performance is all about what his role will be with the A's.

Buffalo Bison
P Achilles Brown 5 GS, 16 IP, 24 H, 11 ER, BB, 9 K

He is just on the the wrong side, the 11th man on a 10 man staff. He can't have a bad outing and he needs better than average. Gut check time.

OF Graham Walker 6-21, 5 R, HR, 2 RBI, 3 BB, 7 K

A 1-9 slump has taken him out of consideration for the opening day roster. He made an impression, and is on the the top of the list for OF call-ups.

Columbus Clippers
P Owen Hunter 1 IP, 2 K

Another appearanceless set of games. Did you make manager Harold Anderson mad?

Hollywood Stars
2B Maximus Meridius 25-60, 17 R, 4 2B, 3B, 5 HR, 13 RBI, 6 BB, 9 K

Save some for the regular season.

3B Harley Gathers 11-33, 8 R, 2 2B, 3B, 3 HR, 6 RBI, 3 BB, 10 K

Is rounding into form nicely. This could be the best hitting infield in baseball.

SS Vince Cressio 13-41, 2B, HR, 9 RBI, 7 BB, 10 K

1-14 slide, while Barkley goes 6-12. Still, I think he makes the club, maybe getting 2 starts a week at first.

Minneapolis Millers
SS Wally Klukas
I'll do a bit more detailed look at Wally in a future post.

Phoenix Cowboys
SS Rabbit Donovan 12-59, 4 R, 3 2B, 3 RBI, 7 BB, 11 K

Didn't do much to help his cause, but a couple other guys went into free falls. He's right there for the 5th infielder spot. Not on the club at the moment.

Portland Beavers
OF Charlie Denton 28-79, 12 R, 7 2B, 3B, HR, 9 RBI, 7 BB, 13 K

In a bit of a slump . . . for him. All-round great numbers.

1B Jimmy Fitzpatrick 18-45, 9 R, 3 2B, 6 HR, 14 RBI, 5 BB, 5 K

Finally put Trosky away. Love the power/average combo.

Sacramento Salons
2B Anton Gogolak 16-63, 10 R, 7 2B, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 8 BB, 9 K

1-20 slump and he is still has no competition for the second base job. The Solons will have a good starter at all four infield positions, but the back ups will give nothing in terms of offense. If they can stay healthy (and Rivera combes back ok), a run at the PCL title is a possiblity.

Salt Lake City Saints
SS Dashiell Spivey 16-42, 8 R, 2 2B, HR, 10 RBI, 8 BB, 3 K

Roy Hughes is putting on a late charge for the starting job, but Spivey's power and discipline should keep the job safely in hand.

San Diego Padres
P Rod Lockheart 32.2 IP, 37 H, 17 ER, 12 BB, 39 K

Another "Bad Start/Good Start" set of games. Hasn't really improved his position from the last set. Still a shot to get in the rotation IF he has a couple good appearance.
