4/20/70 Off Day News

We have April 20 off, so it's a good time to take a look at prospects, and it's also the day that the weekly awards come out. Those are always interesting to see.

First, let's look at the weekly awards. The American League player of the week was Tigers CF Jim Northrup, who hit .545 this week. The National League player of the week was Giants C Dick Dietz, who hit .462 with 5 HR.

Now let's check in with our best prospects.

1. SP Rich "Goose Gossage" 0-1 3.38 ERA 8 IP at Duluth (A)
2. RF Brian Downing- no stats- rookie ball hasn't started yet
3. LF Joseph Talley .304 BA .448 OBP 0 HR at Appleton (A)
4. 1B Lamar Johnson .348/.400/.522 1 HR at Appleton (A)
5. SP Ken Frailing 1-1 3.60 ERA in 15 IP at Chicago (MLB)
6. RP Terry Forster- no stats- rookie ball hasn't started yet

The top 5 teams in the power rankings are:
1. Minnesota Twins
2. Milwaukee Brewers
3. Baltimore Orioles
4. California Angels
5. Chicago Cubs

We are 23rd of 24. Only the Royals are worse.
