Pastime Baseball League – Baseball Bi-Weekly
Vol. 2, Monday, April 20, 2009 (cont.)

Southern League Profiles

Record: Last 2 Weeks (7-4), Overall 10-5

2-Week Synopsis: Swept 4 at Alabama, Split 2 vs Louisville, Lost both at Charlotte, Won 2 of 3 at Los Angeles

Leaders:
Avg - Deacon White .373
HRs - Cap Anson 5
RBIs - Deacon White 17

Wins - Jesse Tannehill 3
ERA - Jesse Tannehill 0.39
Ks - Tim Lincecum 28

Top Performance: Cap Anson was 2-for-2 with a pair of homers, 4 RBI, 2 walks and 2 runs scored in a 6-5 win over Los Angeles on April 17.

Injuries: Aubrey Huff is set to come off the DL any day now and says he's fully recovered from the high ankle sprain suffered during spring training March 23.

Round Trip (Four miscallaneous points about the team):
1) Deacon White has hit in all 15 games so far for Memphis.
2) White's team-leading average has Oscar Charleston beat by 2 points.
3) The expected punch of Charleston and Ichiro Suzuki hitting back-to-back has been stalled by Suzuki's slow start. He's batting only .255 and has yet to draw a walk.
4) The most remarkable part of Jesse Tannehill's amazing start? He's posted that 0.39 ERA over three starts while striking out 2 batters.

Record: Last 2 Weeks (3-8), Overall 4-9

2-Week Synopsis: Swept in 4 at Orlando, Swept in 2 at New York, Swept 2 at Philadelphia, Lost 2 or 3 vs Las Vegas

Leaders:
Avg - Fred Carroll .345
HRs - Topsy Hartsel 3
RBIs - Topsy Hartsel 8

Wins - Doc McJames 2
ERA - Doc McJames 2.28
Ks - Doc McJames 24

Top Performance: Mark Prior threw a complete game 4-hitter, striking out 11 while allowing only 1 run - a 9th inning RBI double to Lip Pike, in a 9-1 win against Las Vegas April 17.

Injuries: Seth McClung - disabled since March 18 with a sore shoulder - is eligible to come off the 15-day DL at any time, though the team says he is likely 2 weeks from returning.

Round Trip (Four miscallaneous points about the team):
1) Topsy Hartsel was named Southern League Player of the Week last week, having hit .476 (10-for-21) with 3 homers, 7 RBI and 4 runs scored.
2) There is some definite potential in this rotation, but this is a poor lineup. Ross Barnes and Sam Thompson are going to have to carry things, as beyond that there is little there. This team has scored a Southern League-low 43 runs so far.
3) Dontrelle Willis has been knocked around horribly so far, giving up 24 hits over 13 2/3 innings in his 3 starts to the tune of a 10.54 ERA. While excellent in his last start, Mark Prior had posted a 14 ERA in his first two outings as well.
4) Running hasn't been part of manager Tony LaRussa's game so far, but he's picked his spots. The Knights are 3-for-3 in steals...Curtis Granderson has 2 and Topsy Hartsel has the other.
