1928 Spring Training Week #4

We finished 12-12 during spring training this year. Our best hitter was easily Roy Myers who led the team in doubles, homers and RBI's. There were in fact a lot of solid hitters this spring which gives up some hope going forward. Tomorrow we are set to start the season in Washington and will actually play the Eagles six straight to start the season. After careful deliberation I think we will start the season with a five man rotation and four guys in the bullpen. They are:

Starters:

25 year old RH Bill Jenkins. Bill was 9-9 last season and we are looking for him to take that developmental step forward.
32 year old RH Ernie Henderson. Ernie gave the Minutemen 274.2 innings of work last season. He was 16-18 with a 3.96 ERA .
33 year old LH Jack Holland. Holland has had a decent spring and we are hoping he carries that into the regular season.
24 year old RH Wilbur Laramee. Wilbur tore it up in single A last season going 19-7 with a 2.53 ERA. This will be a big jump all the way up to the big league club, we are hoping for the best.
26 year old RH Phil Sunshine. He will round out the rotation. He has had a rough spring but we didn't have a lot of options here. Sunshine is young. I would rather see what I have with a 26 year old than a guy in his mid thirties.

Bullpen:

Stopper = 30 year old LH Dode Jefferis. Dode had a solid spring and this looks like the best role for him to be in.
MR 28 year old RH Howdy Bowman
MR 27 year old RH Dick Alexander
LR 29 year old RH Verdo Burt
I'll just say collectively with these guys that I hope their use is limited....
