Cleveland Blues 54-86 7th AL
Overview: In an attempt to create a new Cleveland tradition, the Blues have become the first team to have an official cartoon mascot: Chief Wahoo, the blues-singing Indian. He likes the blues so much, he cannot stop grinning even though the blues are supposed to be sad! We hope that the on-paper presence of Chief Wahoo will make fans forget the horrible legacy of baseball in this city. They still aren't going to games but we are confident that just one winning season - just one! - will cause them to find their love for the game. Will this happen in 1903? Let's not go too crazy. But it should happen by the end of the decade. Unless the team is attacked by bees, which is not unlikely given the history of baseball in this town.

Detroit Tigers 53-87 8th AL
Overview: We admit it. We really don't know what we are doing. Two consecutive last place finishes probably caused you all to guess this anyway, but we wanted to state it for the record. Detroit seems to be a nice enough place and should turn into a nice baseball town once we figure all this out. One encouraging point, we think, is that everything was bad last year. That means that no one person will have the finger pointed at them. We do so hate confrontation.

Louisville Colonels, 88-52 1st AL
Overview: Military precision beats... well, it beats anything else. That was what 1902 proved. Despite playing in the smallest city of all the 16 major league teams, the Colonels prevailed in the American League due to a rare combination of grit, hustle, and talent. Should one expect more of the same? We'd say yes. The top two stars on the team, Johnny Gruelle and Paul Bump, are relative rookies to this game. Fire up the bugles and raise a 76 gun salute! The Colonels are here!

New York Giants 80-60 4th Place NL
Overview: Others may not view the acquisition of the Baltimore Orioles by owner John T. Brush as a move worthy of truth, justice, and freedom. Those are wrong. We did it, therefore it is good. Why do so many question this? The American League is a pack of fools if they think they can really compete against the venerable National League, and the ease of our little takeover just proved things. Sorry to sound so mean about this, but it's truth. Again, the first of the Three True Virtues. And with this buttressed lineup and our new manager John McGraw, we plan on vaulting to the front of the league with pure greatness.

Baltimore Orioles/New York Highlanders 83-57 5 GB
Overview: Given the way this team was savagely rent asunder by the conniving mountebanks at the Polo Grounds and in Cincinnati, it is amazing that this team still managed to finish 2nd in their league. They never really had a chance of staying in first place but the youngsters not only made a "game" of it, they showed that they might just be the foundation of a club that will have to be reckoned with for some time to come. That dynasty, should it exist, will happen in Hilltop Park, just outside of Manhattan Island, a state of the art facility that should have Giants cranks flocking to see their crosstown brethren.

Philadelphia Phillies 49-91 8th NL
Overview: One can make bromides about how the mighty are due for a fall but the slip of the Phillies into the cellar of the National League was a mere side effect of the scientific nature of the new ownership. This Philadelphia team will act on hypotheses and no, they will not always be correct. It is only in the end that this process will result in a step forward. Therefore, the fans ought to remain patient. Sometimes that feminine intuition practiced by the other clubs gets them quicker positive effects, but it also leads them down worn-out trails best traveled by bears.

Philadelphia Athletics 73-67 4th AL
Overview: It just goes to show where athletic prowess can get you. Unlike our counterparts across the city, the Athletics are on the
rise. In just our third year of existence, we appear poised to be the team that breaks the deadlock on the first division by the existing major league clubs that created the American League. Last year ours was the only of the new clubs to win more games than we lost, and now that Baltimore/New York seems poised to fall by the wayside, we feel we should finish at least third and perhaps higher. Pitching Garrison "Rube" Lindsley Code:
Year Team Age G W L IP H R ER HR BB SO CG Sh ERA 1900 Washington - NL 23 50 6 4 106.2 90 35 20 0 23 61 0 0 1.69 1901 Washington - AL 24 30 15 11 251.1 214 97 61 10 34 206 23 2 2.18 1902 Philadelphia - AL 25 36 24 10 319.1 303 131 94 8 62 197 31 3 2.65 starter. Perhaps it could be said that he would never have been able to carry things if he hadn't joined the A's and our tough workout regimen. Lindsley responded to his critics by winning 9 more games pitching 70 more innings than the season before. Claude Cugnoni Code:

We aren't making that argument as we believe that you go out on the field and prove your mettle and do not make excuses. Whatever the case may be, Cugnoni is most certainly a member of this rotation in '03. Martin Cheney Code:

Initially he jumped to the Washington Nationals, but seeing that he wasn't going to make the team agreed to be transported to the A's in exchange for third baseman Bailey Hamilton. It worked out well for both Cheney and the city of Philadelphia. Riordan Rowell Code:

Pittsburgh Pirates 82-58, 3rd NL
Overview: It not be easy to talk like a Pirate. Nar. But talk - and use thar typewriter contraption - we must because it be our chance to discuss our team. We are not like those dorky idiot semi-pirates that solve a bunch of puzzles and collect thar booty only to spend it on pastel-colored clothing. No, we make ye walk the plank if ye talk like that. We had thar National League pennant stolen from us, we say, and that will not happen again.0

St. Louis Cardinals 83-57 2nd NL
Overview: Pitching and defense, that is the name of the saintly game. We have come to the conclusion that the best way to preach our Word to the masses is by deflecting their team's hitting and causing their driven orbs to fall lightly into our fielders' hands, and then pushing just enough of our own runs across to be victorious. A 2-0 victory means just as much in the standings as a 14-5 one, after all, but only the former will cause people to look back upon the game as a turning point in their lives. We were nearly victorious in this aim last year despite losing some of our less saintly men, and we feel we can only be better in the years to come. That was our third 2nd place finish in 5 years. The bridesmaids will become the brides soon. Just you wait.

Washington Nationals 78-62 3rd AL
Overview: It appears that our penchant for diplomacy may have gotten the better of us in 1902. Is it a bad thing to want to ensure that the entire American League is able to prosper? Please bear that in mind, gentle reader, when you remember some of the trades that we made. At one point, for example, we had 6 starting pitchers but only needed 4. Sure, we could have used those extra 2 people later on, but Philadelphia was able to utilize them immediately and as a result we have a clear victory in one of the battleground cities. We believe we are still first in the American League, if not in wins then by leadership.

Together At Last!
The American and National Leagues have announced a truce to their ongoing war. Effective immediately, the Americans will respect the contracts that National players are under and vice versa. "It's a real win for both leagues", said Philadelphia Athletics manager Connie Mack. "I'd much rather concentrate on knocking my opponents' heads in than knocking out a whole different league." The parties agreed to the current set-up of two eight-team leagues. As announced, the Americans will have a team in New York City but will stay out of the Pittsburgh market (where the Louisville Colonels have been rumored to go). The league as a whole shall be governed by a three-man commission consisting of both league Presidents and Chicago Cubs owner Samuel "Bucktooth" Varmint. The two circuits will be separate and equal and have concurrently running schedules. The reserve clause will continue to be in effect, although any players who have jumped from one league to another will be held to their current contract. Finally, and perhaps most importantly for you, dear fans, the leagues will agree to play a best-of-nine winner-take-all series between the top teams at the end of the season.

Chris Langdon Found Dead
Detroit Tigers Pitcher Committed Suicide SAN FRANCISCO - The man known to Detroit fans as the Birmingham Bunter was found dead in his hotel room today. Self-inflicted asphyxiation seems to have been the culprit. Langdon reportedly left behind a note that blamed "women and gambling" for his untimely demise. Langdon was 14-16 last season for the Tigers. Just 26 years old, he was expected to be the anchor of their rotation.

Thrift Training
Here's the Thrift Training in action with the first 3 teams:
Boston Beaneaters ----------------- Manager: Jeremy Neary is pretty equal at handling each aspect of the game, as well as all three different kinds of players. Alan O'Heron badly needs a curve ball and Neary is just the man to teach him. Skills: 113/92/110 for a low C. Result: 34, an Ignore. Hope the endurance bonus helps! Bench Coach: Hunter Batson is no great shakes at anything, but is a little better at teaching pitching. He will pass. 6/1/2007: With Carmelo "Bones" Latini hitting lights-out but not holding it up on the defensive end, the time has come to train him at the position. Skills: 76/69/191, a C. Result: Good, but will the performance morale hit make him demand a trade? Hitting Coach: Steve Koepke is solid at teaching hitting and excels with rookies and regular players. Eric McNeice is not known for working hard but he is smart. He'll try to learn Open Stance. Skills: 139/144/132, for a C. Well, he's not going to last long without a change anyway. Result: a 46, just barely enough for "Good". McNeice may still have a career yet! Pitching Coach: Dean Martin isn't the greatest pitching coach in the world and is best suited for youngsters. He'll pass. Boston Red Sox ---------------- Manager: Jeff Sass is good at teaching both pitching and hitting and is a whiz with young players. He's the best on the team at teaching fielding, and somebody in the majors needs to learn third base. That man will be 20-year-old Kevin Adams, who is still young enough to bounce back from possible mistakes. Skills: 194/109/146, for a B. Result: 34, an ignore, meaning Adams only gains 50 points in 3rd base from "The Morgan"'s tutelage. Looks like he'll be learning the position in spring training. Bench Coach: Ron Kays is better at teaching fielding than anything else and handles all players equally (which is not that well). Pass. Hitting Coach: Ryan Jamfrey is all right at teaching hitting and teaches rookies better than anything else. Pass. Pitching Coach: Bob Ives is okay at teaching pitching but does not handle rookies well. Pass. Brooklyn Superbas ---------------- Manager: Ned Hanlon is great at teaching fielding, and handles players in their prime and vets well. He'll work on teaching farmhand Werner Oland to Choke Up because if he doesn't learn this soon he never will. Skills: 144/104/99 for a C. Result: Good. He's still not that great at avoiding 'em, but he is better. Bench Coach: Chad Morris was a real find. The 31 year old first-year coach is good at teaching hitting and fielding and excellent with all player types. It's time Nagai Kafu made the transition from so-so second baseman to terrific slap hitter with Be Aggressive. Skills: 165/126/189 for a B. Result: Ignore. Oh well. Hitting Coach: Sheamus Hassard is fantastic at teaching hitting to vets. He also does well in teaching the skill to rookies and regular players. He's going to try to turn Tyler Salters into a major-league quality hitter by imploring him to be aggressive (after all, it's not like he can possibly walk any less than he already is). Skills: 200/184/152, for a B that is oh so close to an A. Result: Good! Hassard does it again. Pitching Coach: Erik Lawson is okay at teaching pitching to vets. Pass.

3 more Thrift Trainings:
Chicago Colts ---------------- Manager: Jimmy Murphy isn't really all that good at anything. He's adequate at teaching hitting and handling veterans. Since I'm making it a house rule that the managers *have* to instruct somebody on something (otherwise, why are they there?), he's going to try to save Max Bonizo's career by Opening up his Stance. Skills: 78/72/189 (I chose a stance skill specifically so I could use Bonizo's great baseball IQ) for a low C. Result: Ignore. Congratulations, Cubbies! Bonizo will now be able to dodge out of the way of any hit batsman but is otherwise unchanged. Bench Coach: Steven Handy really should be the manager here. He's a stud at teaching pitching but is okay at the other two categories as well. He is better with young players than older ones. His mission this spring training: to teach Henry H. Laughlin a new pitch... the dropshoot (sinker). Skills are 178/149/107, good enough for a B. Result: a GREAT result! Somebody gve Steven Handy a raise! Hitting Coach: Conroy Savery is actually not quite as good as Hardy at training hitters, and he's not as good with any of the three ages. He's going to try and teach young SS Ettore Missaghi to draw a few more walks by convincing him that Patience is the Key. Score: 146/103/140, for a B. Result: Excels! Pitching Coach: Alan Cook is okay at teaching pitching and handles vets the best. Glenn Spiller is just about toast anyway, so teaching him the Curve Ball won't do that much harm. Skills: 117/140/143, a C. Result: Ignore. Ah well. He had a nice, long career. Chicago White Stockings ---------------- Manager: Tim Linker is best at teaching hitting and fielding, and handles all three ages adequately. He's going to teach Frank Raines to play first base, since Raines is not a really great fielder at 2nd and 1B Dax Dickinson came out of nowhere last year and could therefore disappear right back to nowhere. Skills: 145/120/84, a C. Linker's excellence at teaching fielding overcomes Frank Raines' mediocre Work Ethic. Result: a Failure. Fortunately, all Failures in fielding mean are that the player just doesn't learn the position all that well, but Raines is also peeved at Linker for asking him to do something he didn't want to do. Bench Coach: Gregorio Cardia isn't very good at anything. He is best at teaching pitching to vets, I guess. Pass. 3/20: With Dax Dickinson out for the first month of the regular season, Cardia will impart to Tim Gillett the secrets of first base. Skills: 48/56/125, a D. Result: Good, just barely. Hitting Coach: Conan Robinson is still learning the ropes and is okay at teaching hitting to rookies and players in their prime. Pass for now. 5/25/2007: The White Sox are filled to the gills with infielders and as such need to teach someone to play the outfield. That someone: Branson Sellars. Skills: 109/72/60, a D. Result: A bust! Not only does he not learn the position, his stats take a hit. Bad, bad news. Pitching Coach: Ray Burrowes is adequate at teaching pitching but doesn't really handle any of the ages well. Given that one of the reasons I created Thrift Training was to give Matt Nutt an opportunity to de-learn some of his pitches, I'm going to ignore my instinct to Pass and instead will have him unlearn the Cutter. Skills: 71/76/55. Wow, Matt Nutt is not a smart man. That's going to go off the D column. Result: Nutt surprises everyone with a Good result. Cincinnati Reds ---------------- Manager: Keeley Murch is just a good all-around coach, but is best at teaching pitching to rookies and players in their prime. He will try to get Joshua Williams back into the pantheon of elite pitchers by teaching him how to throw the nickel curve (Slider). Skills: 180/141/99, the closest B yet. Result: Excels. This is just unfair. Cincinnati gets another great pitcher on an already solid staff. Bench Coach: Scott Conwell is one of the best fielding coaches in the business. He is also attuned to exactly how to teach older players. Given that Ed Scalf's career is winding down, he's been entrusted to teach him the finer points of playing left field. Skills: 196/200/29. Wow. How did Scalf stay in the league this long with a Work Ethic that poor? That's a B by 6 points. Result: Good. Looks like Scalf will be playing a new position in '03. Hitting Coach: Cory Rennison is a top-flight hitting coach. The only thing keeping him from being the best in the league is that he's only above average at handling vets and prime players. He is going to secretly and clandestinely replace Kent Cashion's bats with a special cork-filled model. Shh! Don't tell the commish! Skills: 197/117/169, for a highish B. If only Rennison was better at relating to vets... Result: GREAT. The ball is really flying off of Cashion's bat now! Pitching Coach: Don Anderson is only great at teaching pitching, but that's all he's asked to do. He specializes in turning the careers of veterans around. He's going to try to stave off some of the effects of aging by teaching 35-year old Big Bill Copeland the Circle Change. Skills: 183/163/115 for a B. Result: Excels. Look out, National League!

Cleveland Blues
---------------- Manager: Darryl Davis is one of the best in the business at teaching pitching and is very solid at teaching hitting as well. He handles vets and prime players the best but is great with rookies as well. He's going to teach Bill Hawkins the forkball (I'd teach him the nickel curve/slider but he doesn't throw fast enough), as he is about to go under the threshold at which the game won't let you effectively start. Skills: 200/182/128 for a high B. Result: Excels. Bench Coach: Mac Bergstrom doesn't really do anything well. Keep him away from hitters. Since there isn't much to lose, he will teach Chad Werrett the art of first base. Skills: 62/74/198 for a C that would have been a D if it weren't for Werrett's great work ethic. Result: Good. Looks like Werrett will be backing up first this year. Hitting Coach: Bartolome Grafals is also not very good. But he is also cheap! Pass. Pitching Coach: Colson isn't that great either. Looks like this is pretty much a one-man coaching staff. Pass. Detroit Tigers ---------------- Manager: Bryan Mertz is pretty good at all three skills, particularly hitting, and does not handle veterans well. His mission: to teach Bob "Pencil Case" Trantham the art of patience. It's a risky move but the kind of thing a young team needs to do. Skills: 129/118/9. Mertz is, how shall we say, stubborn. Yes, Trantham has a 9 work ethic. Yikes. Incidentally, they get a D. Result: Failure. Bench Coach: Griffin Salomans is really only useful teaching vets how to pitch. Pass. 3/18: With their starting SS out for the next 3 months, Griffin will attempt to instruct 3B Max Fitzgerald in the ways of the position. Skills: 44/90/33, a D. Result: a Failure, which still means he gets a *little* extra experience at the position but is not happy about the ordeal. Hitting Coach: Richard Canavan has even less utility than Salomans. He is mediocre at teaching rookies how to hit. Pass. Pitching Coach: Bill Davis is okay at teaching rookies and players how to pitch. Pass. Louisville Colonels ---------------- Manager: For a reigning league champion, Luis Sanlatte is not much of a manager. He should handle veterans only, and then just for pitching and fielding. Because he likes to tinker, he will work with Kelan Quarton on learning the Curve Ball. Skills: 83/89/27 for a D. This will not work out well. Result: A costly Failure. Bench Coach: Vittorio Brando is adequate at teaching pitching and is best with older players. Pass. Hitting Coach: Tim Mitchell is perhaps a better managerial candidate than Luis Sanlatte. He teaches fielding the best and works well with youngsters. He's going to teach Zander Bostic to Chop at the Ball. Skills: 105/121/170 (Bostic has a Loyalty of 180 so we used his speed instead) for a C. Result: Good. Maybe Bostic *will* be able to hold that first base job. Pitching Coach: Benjamin Hitchcock is a one-trick pony, teaching pitching well, especially to older folk. He'll be tasked with teaching Jesse "Rawhide" MacLagan the nickel curve in an attempt to push him back into front-line quality. Skills: 150/165/86, a C thanks to MacLagan's iffy Work Ethic. Result: Good. New York Giants ---------------- Manager: John McGraw is a stud at teaching hitting especially and works well with all kinds of players. Because this is my game, I am giving him a boost of one letter grade when he teaches Patience is the Key. He will impart his teachings upon young CF Ray Pearl. Skills: 192/165/118, for a B that is magically transformed into an A by McGraw's specialty. Result: The rarest of all outcomes, a Bust! Ray Pearl, we hardly knew ye. Bench Coach: Dave Dubois must have compromising pictures of the owner or something because there's no good reason why he's on this team. Pass. Hitting Coach: Luhan Philcox is solid at teaching hitting to all player types. Pass. Pitching Coach: Don Birtles is a whiz at teaching pitching to older players. He is entrusted with teaching the Circle Change to Nathan Woombill so that he can more effectively pitch in McGraw's 3-man rotation. Skills: 200/171/190. We chose the change-up because Woombill is a very smart man. That is an A. Result: Excels.

And the rest...
New York Highlanders ---------------- Manager: Von Craufurd is excellent with the kids but in terms of straight teaching skills is only average. He will work on teaching Bill McAcounich the skill of Be Aggressive. Skills: 177/116/176, a B. Result: Good. Bench Coach: Craig Nault works well with others. His specialty is in teaching fielding. He will try to teach Lonan Eve how to play center field. Skills: 160/144/199. Always a pleasure to work with a man like Eve! That's a B. Result: Good. Hitting Coach: Jim Weatherhead works with vets better than kids. He's actually semi-adequate at instructing fielding. Pass. 5/24/2007: With Lonan Eve coming back from an injury, veteran Valentin Lochilosurdo has an increasingly small role on this ballclub. Weatherhead will attempt to expand this role by teaching him first base. Skills: 119/71/192, a C. Result: GREAT. Pitching Coach: Raymond Kieran does the same. Pass. Philadelphia Phillies ---------------- Manager: McGrath Adger is ideally suited to teach fielding to vets. He'll go away from his strengths a little bit to teach Left Field to youngster Bill McAlduie. Skills: 91/130/33. McAlduie does not have the greatest work ethic in the world but this is probably the only way he keeps a job in the majors. That's a D. Result: Bench Coach: Kel Williams is just not very good all around. Keep him away from anybody but veterans. Pass. 5/29/2007: With Lou Mahwhinney putting out offensively like he should be a starter, a change needs to be made at catcher. He'll learn the ins and outs of left field. Skills: 28/53/171, a D. Result: Good. Will Mahwhinney's attitude improve with playing time at the new position, or will the hit to his Performance morale knock him down to the point where he demands a trade? Hitting Coach: Glenn Cawse is pretty awful as well, and likewise should only teach rooks. Pass. 6/20/2007: Albert Einstein is a rookie, and what's more, he needs to learn himself some shortstop right quick. Skills: 167/68/23, a D. Man, is this guy bad. Good thing Albert has a strong Work Ethic because otherwise this could be disaster. Result: Good. Einstein's attention to detail saves the day! Pitching Coach: Greg Bold is an ace at teaching pitching to youngsters. He will be entrusted to teach John Boyd Orr the secrets of the nickel curve (Slider) and try to arrest the steep decline in his potential over the last couple years. Skills: 191/174/24, a C in spite of Orr's lackadaisical approach. Result: Good. Philadelphia Athletics ---------------- Manager: Norbert Whiteley specializes in teaching hitting to veterans. He is only average at dealing with youngsters. He's going to make a last-ditch effort at saving Norman Dobbins' career by teaching him to Choke Up at the plate. Skills: 163/149/28 for a C. Result: Excels. Nice spring training for the A's. Bench Coach: Dave Thaxton isn't terribly great but is okay at teaching pitching. Pass. Hitting Coach: Sloan Miltead excels at instructing vets on hitting. He's going to try to teach George Marshall to put the ball into play earlier in the count to avoid strikeouts (Be Aggressive). Skills: 173/143/67, a C. Result: Excels. Pitching Coach: Sean Highland is only okay for a pitching coach. He's about comparable to Dave Thaxton, actually. Pass. Pittsburgh Pirates ---------------- Manager: Dave Wilke is just along for the ride. Unfortunately he's the manager of this club. He's best at imparting fielding wisdom to rookies, which is to say that's about the only thing he's not bad at. He will teach Jon Wellwood, the 4th OFer going into the season, how to play center field. Skills: 86/79/63, a D. Result: Good. Bench Coach: George Blevins is a solid all-around coach who specializes in hitting and works well with all ages. Pass. Hitting Coach: Owen Serginson is probably the best in the league at teaching old bat-dogs new tricks. He's going to concentrate on the one weak link in the lineup, SS Monk Eastman, even though he's not a vet by any means. The training? Choke Up. Skills: 200/124/190, a B. As he gets older he'll be the recipient of A's with this hitting coach. Result: Excels. Let the accolades begin! Pitching Coach: Jonathan Magee handles older players better than younger ones but is an all-around ace. Pass. St. Louis Cardinals ---------------- Manager: Alvin Pahl is a solid coach, with specialties in fielding and handling veterans. This is tempting fate, but he's going to try to teach 2B Dave "Dominicani" Bulwer 3rd so that he can get both Woody Randles and Paul Woolcock in the lineup. Actually, since he's just plain fantastic at avoiding errors, this should be a low-risk move. Skills: 158/176/153 for a B. Result: Good, which may or may not be enough added experience to field the position successfully. Bench Coach: Lawler Gahlan is more or less equally matched with all coaching skills and handles vets the best. Pass. 5/29/2007: It's time to try and train Fred Jacobsen to Choke Up on the ball and stop swinging for the fences. Skills: 148/139/55, a C. Result: Failure. Ah, darn. I was hoping that he could kind of resurrect his career. Hitting Coach: Fiorenzo Celi is no great shakes against anybody. Pass. Pitching Coach: Jimmy Richards, because of his great ability to work with any age, is likely the best pitching coach in baseball. He'll be tasked with helping Gianfrocco Amocacci consolidate his excellent debut season by teaching him the Forkball. Skills: 199/186/129, a high B. Wait 'till this guy's paired with someone with an awesome Work Ethic or baseball IQ. Result: Sadly, things don't work out so well. Failure. Washington Nationals ---------------- Manager: Rooney O'Merry is the best man in the game at teaching hitting to vets and players in their prime. He's only average at teaching fielding and rather poor, actually, at pitching (although his charisma with the players will still help him avoid low letter grades). He's noticed that Behellagh Pennefather's predilection towards the long ball is hurting his game, so he'll impart on him the virtues of Choking Up. Skills: 195/194/91 for a B (too bad this isn't the lively ball era, because this man's Greed is through the roof). Result: Excels, *just* missing a GREAT mark. Bench Coach: Teague Candlemaker is really good at teaching hitting as well, especially to vets. Pass. 4/28: With the injury to Donoghue Boffin in left field, the time has come to teach Kemal Ataturk how to play that position. Skills: 123/139/65, a C. Result: Good. Hitting Coach: Given the strengths of Candlemakers and O'Merry, it's only fitting that Girard Kagan is such a stud at instructing rookies. Pitching Coach: Anlon O'Mackey also works better with young'uns than veterans. He's going to work on teaching minor league starter Mohammed Mossadegh to unlearn the slider. His endurance is pretty high already and this will hopefully reduce the bit of arm trouble he's already gained in his short career. Skills: 200/200/85, a B. Result: Good.

"I'm just seeing the ball better, I guess," he told the Thriftlon Reports. "Why are you guys bugging me about this?" Having hit just .249 last season, the 25-year old is trying to make the transition from hacker to slugger. ![]() Boston Red Stockings: The rest of the team may not be able to push the ball out of the infield, but "Flyboy" Billy Mitchell is hitting so well that the American League bestowed its Player of the Month award upon him. Mitchell hit .409 last month with 10 runs and 11 RBIs. He was especially potent from the 7th inning on, batting .435 during that time. The remainder of the team is batting just .230 (114 for 496). ![]() Brooklyn Superbas: The Superbas are not off to a good start at all. However, the one exception (as always seems to be the case with this club) is SP Jonathan Gaines. On April 29, Gaines five-hit the defending champion Cincinnati Reds en route to a 4-2 victory, the only one earned by the team this season. "I'm just happy to get the opportunity to start", he told us when asked about the direction of the team. One wonders how long he'll retain this sunny disposition. ![]() Chicago Colts: Martínez Bajana at first refused to leave April 8's Saint Louis-Chicago game after he suffered a fractured elbow while throwing a pitch. But his manager convinced him not to be foolish. "I'm a competitor," the feisty Chicago reliever said. "I'll play through just about anything." Given time to reflect on the situation, he knew it was in his best interest to get immediate treatment. The injury is expected to keep Bajana out of action for 7 months. Bajana was 6-8 with a 3.89 ERA last season and was fighting for a spot in the Colts' rotation at the time of the injury. ![]() Chicago White Stockings: If one wants to know why the White Stockings are currently in the cellar, one need look no further than the pitching staff. Of the five men in the rotation and reliever Matt Nutt, only SP Larry MacCaa has an ERA of under 3. He has nothing to show for his work, as he's 0-2, but that is hardly uncharted territory for him: his career record includes 130 losses against just 87 victories. ![]() Cincinnati Reds: Big Bill Copeland has not given up an earned run in 2 starts so far this season. As you'd might expect, he is 2-0. Though his opposition - the Chicago Colts and the Brooklyn Superbas - are not exactly strong contenders, it is a good sign. ![]() ![]() Cleveland Blues: Could this be the year a Cleveland team makes it out of the second division? So far, two starters - Bill Hawkins and Sean Nickerson are 3-0 and the team ERA is a tiny 2.51, good for 2nd in the league. Both highlighted pitchers are crafty veterans who get their opponents out with guile and trickery. The Blues will take success any way they can get it. ![]() Detroit Tigers: The loss of Chris Langdon over the offseason was sure to hit the Tigers hard, but who knew it would be the hitting that was most affected rather than the pitching staff that he was a part of? So far, the club is dead last in the AL in hitting and runs scored and were recently shut out twice in the same week. "Chris was so smart, we kind of relied on him to change the signs around," said OF Henry "Fire" Hosler. "It's been kind of rough having to figure out how to do that on our own." ![]() Louisville Colonels: Despite all the talk during spring training of Jesse "Rawhide" MacLagan's new pitch and vastly improved effectiveness, it was the reigning Pitch of the Year award winner Johnny Gruelle that was named the best hurler of the month by the AL. Gruelle won 3 games and lost 1 with a 1.22 ERA in April and thus far has allowed the fewest baserunners per 9 innings in the league. ![]() New York Giants: With veteran Dante Bommarito taking the lion's share of the at-bats in center field, rumors abound that Ray Pearl is on the outs with manager John McGraw. "I ain't sayin' nothin' to you people" was all we could get in response from the man some call "The Little Napoleon." So far, Pearl has just 6 at-bats and no hits in 2 games. ![]() New York Highlanders: Who is responsible for the hot start of the Highlanders? We have to point to manager/catcher Von Craufurd. He's been making all the right moves as the skipper, but we have to say that it's easy to look good when you have a backstop who's hitting .333 with 7 two-base hits in 48 at-bats. ![]() Philadelphia Phillies: George Darbyshire let his bat do the talking in April and the National League heard him loud and clear. He made plenty of noise as he put together a sparkling .417 batting average and this offensive outburst is the prime reason he was honored as the hottest hitter of the month. Darbyshire's month-to-remember saw him accumulate 15 hits, no home runs, 6 RBI, 5 runs, 5 walks, along with a .488 on-base percentage. ![]() Philadelphia Athletics: The ball hasn't quite bounced the way the A's would like but they do have to be impressed by the play of young keystoner George Marshall. Marshall was brought in from the Giants and there were doubts that he'd ever live up to his massive potential. Well, so far he is getting there. He's hitting .364 with a team-high 4 steals in the A's first 13 games. Additionally, he's committed just 2 errors to date and holds a solid .974 fielding average. ![]() Pittsburgh Pirates: The National League scribes have announced April's Pitcher of the Month and have given the award to Kenneth Cudlip of Pittsburgh. He was one tough cookie on the mound last month and has the numbers to prove it: 2-0 record, 0.00 ERA, 2 GS, 18 IP, 9 HA, 1 BB, 9 K, .141 OBA. ![]() St. Louis Cardinals: Thanks to Dave Bulwer taking a lot of extra time this spring training to learn how to play third base, Paul Woolcock was able to stay in the lineup this year and has really responded. He's at .382 right now, hitting leadoff for a resurgent Cardinals squad that's 2nd in the NL in hitting. ![]() Washington Senators: He missed the second half of last season with a torn muscle in his arm, so the Nationals were concerned that he wouldn't be back to normal. Brian "Heavy" Pike, however, has made the front office forget he was ever hurt at all. To date he has completed and won all three of his starts, has a 2.05 ERA, and has struck out more than twice as many batters as he's walked (14 to 6).

Pritchitt, of course, left in an offseason trade to the Pirates, where he is lighting up the league. The answer to the question, at least so far, is 23 year old Alan O'Heron, who is 4-2 with a 2.18 ERA and 36 strikeouts in 57.1 innings. O'Heron is also known around the clubhouse as the man who will get in your face when you aren't hustling like you should be. That kind of leadership can only help the Bostons. Updates: LF Steven Corliss .289 BA in 80 AB, 3 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, 15 R, 9 RBI, 16 SB ![]() ![]() Boston Red Stockings: Granted, they were against the lowly White Stockings, but back to back shut-outs are something to be proud of. Keith Gages started things off on the 8th of May with a 6-hitter. Then, to prove that Chicago-ing the Chicagos was no fluke, Mike Green followed things up the next day with a whitewashing that saw him yield just 3 hits and 1 walk. Updates: Flyboy Billy Mitchell .340 BA in 140 AB, 4 2B, 3 3B, 14 R, 18 RBI ![]() Brooklyn Superbas: What's the matter with 3B Terrence Swarbrick? He was and SS Devlin Shaner were the backbone of this ballclub last year but so far the two of them have combined for just 11 runs and 9 RBIs. Swarbrick is batting just .197 and is having the same glove issues that made him a mixed blessing last year (14 errors in his first 21 games). He's reportedly distraught over the team's horrendous start, but if he wants to move on to a better team he's going to need to show them a reason to trade for him first. Updates: Jonathan Gaines 2-3 1.77 ERA 40.2 IP 16 BB 19 K ![]() Chicago Colts: The Colts' rough start is beginning to take on historical proportions. We don't have statistics on bad starts but will can tell you this: if this keeps up it will be just the 2nd time in club history that the Colts finished 3 consecutive seasons not in first place. Pitcher Henry H. Laughlin is already 0-6 and well on the way towards breaking Jesse "Rawhide" MacLagan's team-record 25 losses in 1897. Updates: P Martinez Bajana Out for the season ![]() Chicago White Stockings: Is there a contest in the Windy City to see who can field the worst team? The White Sox, facing long odds at even returning to .500, let alone contending this year, have decided that they can lose just as easily with youngsters as they can with a veteran pitching staff. Veteran hurlers Orran Meager and Bob Shank were let go and Rino Dallaliglio was sent to serve as a player-coach for the minor league club. In their place, they called up Jim Cox, a 22 year old whose previous major league experience consisted of 8.2 innings with the 1900 Cleveland Spiders. Matt Nutt, previously the extra man on the staff, will also move into the rotation. Updates: P Larry MacCaa 0-5 3.51 ERA 41 IP 12 BB 11 K ![]() Cincinnati Reds: It's a wonder that the Reds have been able to stay within striking distance of the Pittsburgh Pirates considering the way they've been hitting. Their batting average of .227 is 2nd to last in the National League. One reason is SS Drake Gates, who played through a head injury he probably shouldn't have. He's still fighting off its effects and is hitting just .240. Updates: P Big Bill Copeland won his 250th game on May 5. 5-1 0.98 ERA 5 IP 7 BB 24 K ![]() Cleveland Blues: Although his career is also winding down, it is readily apparent that OF Kevin MacKeochan is not going to be a lame duck the way Nivens O'Mulvaney or Valentin Lochilosurdo were. So far, hitting cleanup for this surprising ballclub, he's hitting a respectable .279 and his experience has allowed him to coax 17 walks from opposing hitters, 1 free pass away from the league lead. Updates: P Bill Hawkins 5-1, 1.46 ERA, 55.1 IP, 23 BB, 37 K P Sean Nickerson 3-2, 2.00 ERA, 45 IP, 11 BB, 15 K ![]() Detroit Tigers: In the course of 3 seasons with the Tigers, OF Gary O'Larkin has gone from starter to occasional pinch hitter back to starter again. With the preseason injury to Dan Wilson, who played in 129 games last year, O'Larkin was forced to take over the starting center field job. He has risen to the occasion, batting .269 and scoring 8 runs in 16 games at the Detroit lead-off position. Update: P Chris Langdon is still deceased. ![]() Louisville Colonels: Paul Bump is a human dynamo. He can beat you any way it is possible for a hitter to beat you: laying down a bunt, pushing the ball to somewhere the infielders are not, poking the ball between the outfield and the infield, or driving it into the gaps. He now has 276 hits in 876 career at-bats, a mark that would be good for 8th best in league history if he had the plate appearances to qualify. And this despite playing in the depressed offenses of the 'aughts. Update: Johnny Gruelle 4-2 with a 1.53 ERA, 59 IP, 7 BB, 35 K ![]() New York Giants: What is going on with the Giants' hitting? Don't ask Cody "The Punisher" Plummer, because whatever ailment is striking the rest of the ballclub, he does not have it. He's hitting .342 but to hear manager John McGraw, that's completely unimportant compared to what the Little Napoleon calls an "on base percentage" of .445. "Pitchers are so yellow, they'd rather give him four wide ones than pitch to him," the skipper told us. Update: OF Ray Pearl .235 BA, 1 2B, 3 3B, 2 R, 4 RBI ![]() New York Highlanders: One of the qualities that has allowed Von Craufurd to lead his charges to first place in the league at this point in the season is that he's been able to reclaim pitching prospects that John McGraw abandoned in his brief push to excellence. Case in point: Fionn Kempson, who now leads the team with 5 wins and is 12-5 since Craufurd penciled him into the rotation last July. "The kid can pitch" is all the manager had to say. All we have to say is: he's no kid. Update: C Von Craufurd .366 BA, 12 2B, 9 R, 7 RBI ![]() Philadelphia Phillies: To everybody outside the system, it looked like the Philles were going to be releasing P Jimmy Baker. He'd just come off of an 8-21 season, including 6-20 in the National League, and at age 32 he did not figure into the future plans of this club. Maybe it's best to always assume that this science-minded team is going to do something that doesn't jibe with established wisdom. Baker, so far, has proven his critics wrong. He's just 3-3 this year but has been quite stingy with the walks (8 in 49 innings) and runs (a 2.51 ERA). Update: George Darbyshire .392 BA, 6 2B, 3 3B, 2 HR, 14 R, 15 RBI, 1 SB ![]() Philadelphia Athletics: The major-league record for strikeouts in a season is 239 but don't tell Rube Lindsley that. Actually, you can probably get away with telling him. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed. "When I heard about that, I was like, oh my god, wow!" said the Moreno Valley, California native. "That is totally tubular. Qual." Lindsley is on pace, according to our resident stat guru, to whiff 307 hitters this season. To date, he has 57 of them, which goes well with his 5-3 record and 2.72 ERA. Update: 2B George Marshall .362 BA, 14 R, 3 RBI, 9 SB ![]() Pittsburgh Pirates: Jon Choate missed all of last season with torn ligaments in his ankle and was, at best, a question mark going into this season. We'll admit that we didn't agree with Pittsburgh's trading off incumbent 1B Mark Lucott off to the Beaneaters (Choate's old job, left field, was taken by the younger and more agile David Cook). Choate so far has been a cog in that powerful Pirates' machine, batting .312 with 19 runs batted in on the season. Update: P Ken Cudlip 5-0, 1.65 ERA, 45 IP, 7 BB, 21 K ![]() St. Louis Cardinals: The Saint Louis Cardinals will lose the services of second baseman Woody Randles after he sustained a scratched cornea while colliding with a player at a base in today's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. When asked about the injury, he took a philosophical approach. "Worse things can happen in life," Randles said. "The key now is to stay positive." His trainer said he is expected to be sidelined for the next 3-4 weeks. Randles is batting .233 this season in 20 games with 1 home run, 12 RBIs and 9 runs scored. He has 17 hits in 73 at-bats, 9 walks and a .313 on-base percentage. Randles has played in 20 games. Update: 1B Paul Woolcock .420 BA, 1 2B, 2 3B, 11 R, 7 RBI, 6 SB ![]() Washington Senators: With a .385 average that ranks 2nd in the league, Kayne McMartin has been tearing the cover off the ball. So why has he been sitting out the last few games? "He turned his ankle," said manager Rooney O'Merry. "2 years ago, we played things safe all year and you saw the results. Last year, we think we were trying to hard to win one game at the expense of the season." Kayne McMartin is completely on board with his coach on this. It doesn't hurt that his replacement, Jeremy McCullough, has 8 hits in 25 at-bats on the season. Update: P Brian Pike 5-1, 2.06 ERA, 52.1 IP, 13 BB, 29 K

The 35-year old played for the Cincinnati Reds way back in the inaugural season of 1892 and has played for the Colonels and Beaneaters since then. He has a career record of 209 wins versus 148 losses but so far this year he's just 3-6. More distressing is that he's managed to strike out just 18 batters in 74 innings on the year. He made quite a living by getting batters to hit the ball to a fielder, but with all these "cyclone" pitchers on the mound today, this strategy only ends in losses. Updates: LF Steven Corliss .299 BA, 5 2B, 2 3B, 2 HR, 20 R, 7 RBI, 18 SB, on the disabled list with a bad knee P Alan O'Heron 6-3 2.02 ERA, 84.2 IP, 38 BB, 54 K ![]() Boston Red Stockings: He wasn't in their original plans, but Carmelo "Bones" Latini has managed to argue and then play his way into this lineup. The outfielder has been regarded well by this team for some time, but marks of .237 and .224 in '01 and '02 led them to believe that he would be, at best, a 4th outfielder. Earlier this year he got into a huff and nearly walked off the team. Rather than deal him (which is what many critics think the Red Stockings should have done), they inserted Latini into the lineup in place of slumping Eddie Hoddell. He has responded well, hitting .364 and scoring 13 runs in 55 at-bats. Updates: Flyboy Billy Mitchell .329, 4 2B, 3 3B, 25 R, 24 RBI P Keith Gages 5-4. 2.58 ERA, 83.2 IP, 24 BB, 41 K P Mike Green 5-5, 1.23 ERA, 88 IP, 21 BB, 56 K ![]() Brooklyn Superbas: With Terrence Swarbrick dispatched to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for veteran John "The Primary" Acton, the onus for the bad start falls on SS Devlin Shaner. Shaner, a career .311 hitter, is batting just .177 on the year. What is the reason for the slump? Nobody seems to know, least of all Shaner himself. "There's a lot of pressure on me to hit well, but then again there's always been a lot of pressure. All I can say is, I know I'm better than this." Manager Ned Hanlon recently dropped Shaner down to 8th in the lineup but should the star start hitting again, he will surely go back to the heart of the order. Updates: Jonathan Gaines 3-5 1.83 ERA 64 IP 19 BB 31 K Terrence Swarbrick (now with St. Louis) .205, 3 2B, 9 R, 8 RBI, 2 SB ![]() Chicago Colts: He doesn't have the good baseball face and that is perhaps how he remained unsigned for so long, but SS Ettore Missaghi continues to amaze those who thought he'd never amount to anything in the majors. Missaghi now holds a career .314 average in 582 major league at-bats. This year he has added power to his game, slapping 11 extra-base hits out of 43 overall. The lack of offensive output around him has limited him to just 10 runs and 15 RBIs but there is no doubt that Ettore is here to stay. Updates: P Martinez Bajana Out for the season P Henry H. Laughlin 2-7 3.55 ERA, 71 IP, 31 BB, 14 K ![]() Chicago White Stockings: In this lost White Stockings season, it is time to find good news wherever it can be found. One high point is relative unknown Roy MacCodrum, who is leading the team in hitting with a .284 average. This speedster also has 12 steals and 5 triples and is second on the club with 16 runs scored. He is one of 2 American League center fielders to turn 2 fly-outs into double plays this season. Updates: P Larry MacCaa 1-7 2.41 ERA 71 IP 24 BB 23 K P Jim Cox 2-2 4.00 ERA 36 IP 13 BB 7 K ![]() Cincinnati Reds: Mike Altmann seems to play his best when his back is against the wall. Altmann is the team's starting 3rd baseman but turned 33 this year. On May 2, he collided with Pittsburgh Pirate Alfred Eberhart on a play at first base and couldn't see straight for several games afterward. He didn't re-enter the lineup until the 11th. In the interim, rookie George Pointer hit a blistering .375, leaving Cincinnati Reds rooters to wonder if they were seeing the replacement. However, Altmann has had 27 base knocks in 72 attempts since coming back (also a .375 clip), rendering the point moot. Updates: P Big Bill Copeland 6-4 2.20 ERA 90 IP 12 BB 37 K (and 0-2 with a 5.82 ERA last week) SS Drake Gates is out for another week with an eye injury. Guess who's taking his place? We'll give you a hint: his first name starts with a 'G' and his last rhymes with 'Mointer'. .247 BA 2 2B 1 3B 1 HR 16 R 11 RBI 6 SB ![]() Cleveland Blues: Heading into the season, manager Doug Davis had a novel solution to the problem of how to keep C Chad Werrett into the lineup: rather than keep him behind the plate, where he'd need to be substituted for constantly, he planned on shifting the agile hitter around from catcher to first base on a daily basis. Unfortunately, Werrett did not get on board with this and, according to sources within the clubhouse, demanded that he make all of his appearances at catcher from here on out. Is the anger affecting his play? Werrett is hitting .243 with just a fraction of the power he showed last year. Updates: P Bill Hawkins 6-4 2.32 ERA 81.1 IP, 33 BB, 51 K P Sean Nickerson 4-4 2.61 ERA 72.1 IP, 18 BB, 27 K LF Kevin MacKeochan .267 BA 4 2B 4 3B 1 HR 21 R 17 RBI 1 SB ![]() Detroit Tigers: Call it Hosler and the Fire Hydrants. Henry "Fireman" Hosler is at this point the lone bright spot on an anemic Detroit Tigers offense. His average of .320 is nearly a hundred points higher than the team's .238. For a man with his dedication to play, he's not that bothered about the tough start. "We'll get better eventually, I'm sure. In the meantime, Detroit's a nice, big city with lots of nice, big endorsement opportunities. I don't plan on being a firefighter forever, you know." Update: P Chris Langdon is still deceased. CF Gary O'Larkin .280 BA, 4 2B 4 3B 1 HR 15 R 10 RBI 4 SB ![]() Louisville Colonels: Jerry Watson had one of his most memorable months in May. Not only did he earn the 6th Player of the Month award of his career, he won his 250th game in the process. "Magoo" was 6-1 with a 1.50 ERA for the month, striking out 44 and walking 10 in 66 innings pitched. "It's all about being a good role model for the kids," he said about his accomplishments. "Some guys would hoot and holler. Me, I'm just going to keep working at it and before you know, I'll be at 300 victories." No pitcher has yet reached that mark, although teammate Jesse MacLagan is close. Update: Johnny Gruelle 7-3 with a 1.33 ERA, 95 IP, 10 BB, 66 K OF Paul Bump .355 BA, 5 2B, 5 3B, 2 HR, 27 R, 17 RBI, 7 SB ![]() New York Giants: Bill Haddon is at it again. A year removed from tying the single-season wins record with 34, Haddon is pacing the league in that category once again with a 9-2 mark. May saw him win 8 games against just 1 loss, good enough to take the Pitcher of the Month award. Haddon combines a tricky fast ball with a trickier change-up and pinpoint control. His record of 63 strikeouts vs. 8 walks represents the best such ratio in the National League. Update: OF Ray Pearl .179 BA, 1 2B, 4 3B, 4 R, 8 RBI 1B Cody Plummer .276 BA (.253 for the month, .160 last week), 4 2B, 2 3B, 23 R, 12 RBI ![]() New York Highlanders: Out of all the new Highlanders, perhaps LF Bob Donley has escalated his game the most for "Uncle Vonnie", the team's nickname for their lovable player/manager. Donley looked decent enough in 56 games with the old Baltimore franchise in 1902, but nothing could prepare the league for his '03: a .386 average (good for 2nd in the league), 26 runs, 22 RBIs, and 12 extra-base hits. The only thing he doesn't do is run. Update: C Von Craufurd .319 BA, 15 2B, 2 3B, 12 R, 16 RBI P Fionn Kempson 7-1 1.83 ERA 69 IP 15 BB 40 K ![]() Philadelphia Phillies: Lou Mawhinney is not happy about his situation. He has a strong enough bat that he could be one of the top catchers in the league but Stephen Getchell isn't going anywhere so they're trying him in the outfield. "Look. I can take the losing. I just don't like getting messed around with. Start me or sit me. Just make up your mind." So far, Mawhinney's hitting .340 with 7 RBIs in 50 at-bats and could provide some punch to the lineup. Update: 1B George Darbyshire .366 BA 10 2B 5 3B 2 HR 21 R 22 RBI 1 SB P Jim Baker 4-4 2.53 ERA 67.2 IP 9 BB 17 K ![]() Philadelphia Athletics: Along with Marshall, Doonan Elmes is pretty much why this team is 2nd in the AL in hitting. The 28-year-old right fielder is hitting .400 on the season. He missed a couple weeks with a hip injury but returned as though nothing happened. Update: 2B George Marshall .400 BA 1 2B 1 3B 31 R 6 RBI 14 SB P Rube Lindsley 9-3 1.92 ERA 93.2 IP 18 BB 80 K (on pace for 273) ![]() Pittsburgh Pirates: Although the Pirates couldn't possibly keep up the torrid pace with which they started the season, Ned Kelly Jr. did everything he could to make it so. He was named the NL Player of the Month for May after batting .316 with 31 runs scored. With Johnston Long temporarily out of the lineup, his production is sorely needed. Update: P Ken Cudlip 6-3, 2.33 ERA, 81 IP, 16 BB, 47 K 1B Jon Choate .317 BA, 10 2B, 3 3B, 17 R, 35 RBI, 3 SB ![]() St. Louis Cardinals: Looking to upgrade their pitching staff, the Cardinals traded off unused outfielder Galimberto Eccelino and future karmic considerations to the Pirates for equally unused starter Teh-Huai Wang. "It is okay," said manager Alvin Pahl. "Wang is a good hurler for a heathen and besides, karma is not a Christian concept and therefore does not exist." Wang, who was 15-16 last year with Pittsburgh, is 1-1 so far in 3 starts with a 3.12 ERA and nearly 3 times as many strikeouts as walks (17 to 6). Update: 1B Paul Woolcock .377 BA 2 2B 2 3B 15 R 8 RBI, 8 SB IF Woody Randles .233 2 2B 1 3B 1 HR 9 R 12 RBI 2 SB. He'll be back in about a week. ![]() Washington Senators: Behellagh Pennefather led the charge of the Nationals into second place in the month of May, and for his heroics the league granted him his first Batter of the Month award. He crushed the ball at a .360 clip, walloping 4 home runs, scoring 18 times, and driving in 24 batsmen. He's hitting .307 for the year in what looks to be his breakout season. Unfortunately, he won't repeat: a sore knee figures to keep him out of the lineup until at least mid-June. Update: P Brian Pike 7-3, 2.29 ERA, 86.1 IP, 20 BB, 48 K 2B/SS Kayne McMartin .361 BA, 13 2B, 1 3B, 29 R, 9 RBI, 4 SB

Merwin, who has been a member of the franchise since it began, is hitting just .261 this year, 30 points below his career average. Manager Jeremy Neary is flummoxed as to why he's slumping at the plate. "He looks like the same Ernie Merwin I remember all these years," he told us. Updates LF Steven Corliss .305 BA, 5 2B, 2 3B, 2 HR, 21 R, 7 RBI, 19 SB P Alan O'Heron 7-5 2.20 ERA, 110.2 IP, 44 BB, 63 K P Jeremy McKinney 4-8 3.06 ERA 100 IP 31 BB 23 K ![]() Boston Red Stockings:The rest of the team may be scuffling so far in the month of June, but Red Stockings third baseman Ken Vine has been slugging up a storm, leading the club in steals, average, hits, and runs at the ripe old age of 38. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone wants my job," said Vine to our intrepid beat reporter. "But I'm not giving it up without a fight." Vine is hitting .385 on the year, which would be the highest average of his career since 1896. Updates Flyboy Billy Mitchell .328, 5 2B, 3 3B, 28 R, 26 RBI P Keith Gages 5-8. 2.97 ERA (0-4, 3.98 in June), 83.2 IP, 24 BB, 41 K P Mike Green 7-6, 1.26 ERA, 114 IP, 22 BB, 72 K OF Carmelo "Bones" Latini .264 (.164 in June) 5 2B 21 R 10 RBI 6 SB ![]() Brooklyn Superbas: On June 8, Duane "The Anvil" Bryant showed that he might just turn into a good player, notching his first career shutout against the Philadelphia Phillies. Bryant scattered six hits over the course of the game, striking out three and walking the same number. He currently posts 6 wins against 5 losses - no mean feat considering the awfulness of this team - and has an earned run average of just 2.21. Updates Jonathan Gaines 5-5 1.76 ERA 82 IP 20 BB 42 K Terrence Swarbrick (now with St. Louis) .220, 4 2B, 1 3B, 16 R, 10 RBI, 2 SB Devlin Shaner .190 BA 7 2B 2 3B 23 R 7 RBI ![]() Chicago Colts: One mark of a bad baseball team is an inability to keep up with the times. In a season where players are stealing bases with raw abandon, the Colts are seemingly satisfied with staying glued to the bases. Their team leaders in steals is CF Herbert Chapin who has just four. He might have more if he could ever get on base; so far on the year he's hitting just .219. As a result, despite batting leadoff the whole year he has just 22 runs scored to his name. Updates P Martinez Bajana Out for the season P Henry H. Laughlin 3-8 3.58 ERA, 88 IP, 40 BB, 21 K SS Ettore Missaghi .319 BA 6 2B 7 3B 23 R 20 RBI ![]() Chicago White Stockings: We still have no idea where this guy came from. We've looked far and wide but so far as we can tell, 1B Dax Dickinson just appeared one day and asked for a major league job. He's hitting .306 on the season despite missing the first month with a bad knee. How long can he keep this up? We don't know because we don't know how long he's been doing it in the first place. Updates P Larry MacCaa 5-7 2.44 ERA 107 IP 34 BB 31 K P Jim Cox 2-5 4.20 ERA 60 IP 23 BB 10 K CF Roy MacCodrum .271 9 2B 6 3B 20 R 14 RBI 13 SB ![]() Cincinnati Reds: Who's leading the Reds in victories? No, it's not Big Bill Copeland. It's not Tommy Wace either. It's cagey veteran Joshua Williams, who has rediscovered his stuff this year and is 9-3 with an ERA of 1.99. Williams is the 2nd winningest pitcher in National League history, just one game behind Giants ace Nathan "Pretty Bird" Woombill (who's also a resurgent 10-4). Williams has notched every one of his victories with the Peoples' Ballclub. Updates: P Big Bill Copeland 8-5 2.05 ERA 118.2 IP 18 BB 50 K SS Drake Gates .295 BA (.455 since returning from the injury) 4 2B 1 3B 2 HR 20 R 17 RBI 10 SB 3B Mike Altmann .313 BA 3 2B 2 3B 18 R 17 RBI ![]() Cleveland Blues: More good news for the sad Cleveland cranks: the Blues have one of the best young players in the game. SS George "Krazy Kat" Herriman loves to doodle, but also enjoys swinging a hard stick. In 154 career games played, Herriman's hitting an even .300. Just 25 years old, he's getting better every year. Right now he's pacing the team with a .313 average and 27 runs batted in. Updates P Bill Hawkins 7-4 2.52 ERA 107.1 IP, 45 BB, 70 K P Sean Nickerson 4-7 2.63 ERA 99.1 IP, 25 BB, 42 K LF Kevin MacKeochan .273 BA 7 2B 4 3B 1 HR 28 R 21 RBI C Chad Werrett .244 7 2B 10 R 9 RBI ![]() Detroit Tigers: The Tigers don't have a staff ace so much as they have a staff mediocrity. Their pitching staff is surprisingly old for such a bad group: Reardon "Chuckles" O'Mullany and Ken Wilson (not pictured because he looks like a sockeye salmon) are the only members of the rotation under the age of 30. O'Mullany is tied for 3rd in all of baseball with 8 losses but is the only man on the team with an ERA anywhere near the league average of 2.95 (his is 3.25; actually, Ken Wilson's is 2.45, but he's only thrown 45 innings and, again, salmon-face). Update P Chris Langdon is still deceased. CF Gary O'Larkin .268 BA, 4 2B 4 3B 1 HR 17 R 12 RBI 6 SB LF Henry "Fireman" Hosler .311 BA 10 2B 19 R 10 RBI ![]() Louisville Colonels: It's been that kind of year for the Colonels. 2B Fergus McKnight won Player of the Week honors this past week and promptly hurt his knee sliding into second base. He'll miss a week and a half to two weeks. He's hitting .311 on the season, including 10 hits in 15 tries in the last seven days. The defending AL champion Colonels as a whole just cannot seem to get healthy and therefore get past the Washington Senators and the upstart New York Highlanders. Update Johnny Gruelle 11-3 1.24 ERA, 131 IP, 12 BB, 89 K OF Paul Bump .335 BA, 7 2B, 5 3B, 3 HR, 34 R, 23 RBI, 10 SB Jerry "Magoo" Watson 9-4 2.03 ERA 119.2 IP 26 BB 87 K ![]() New York Giants: We started the year out spotlighting Giants hitters but that seems rather unfair as it is their pitching that is leading them to the top of the National League. All three of their major starters have earned run averages under 2 and at least 10 victories. John "Big Six" Pearson is #3 on the team in terms of innings pitched, but on any other staff he'd be the stopper. Pearson's 10 victories come against just 4 losses and through 124 innings he has yet to issue his 10th free pass. Update OF Ray Pearl .188 BA, 2 2B, 4 3B, 4 R, 10 RBI 1B Cody Plummer .272 BA, 8 2B, 2 3B, 1 HR, 26 R, 24 RBI Snoopy Haddon 11-3 1.58 ERA 125 IP 9 BB 78 K ![]() New York Highlanders: We've seen 3B Pablo Picasso's painting and all we have to say to the man is, do not quit your day job whatever you do. It doesn't look so much like people as a bunch of crazy shapes and rectangles thrown together. His people look like angular flounders. Fortunately, he can hit. Just 21 years of age, he's over the .300 mark (.302) and would be a prime candidate for AL Rookie of the Year except that he played too much last season to qualify. Update C Von Craufurd .305 BA, 18 2B, 2 3B, 1 HR, 14 R, 23 RBI P Fionn Kempson 7-4 2.22 ERA (0-3, 3.33 for the month) 93.1 IP 20 BB 55 K LF Bob Donley .359 BA 16 2B 2 HR 34 R 32 RBI ![]() Philadelphia Phillies: It may be premature to call him "The Belting Backstop" but C Stephen Getchell is just plain pounding the ball. Despite its poor record, Philadelphia leads the National League in home runs with 16. Getchell is responsible for nearly a quarter of that total (3) and on top of that is hitting .325. We can see why Lou Mawhinney is an outfielder now. Update 1B George Darbyshire .352 BA 11 2B 5 3B 3 HR 21 R 22 RBI 1 SB P Jim Baker 5-6 2.88 ERA 93.2 IP 14 BB 21 K C/OF Lou Mawhinney .312 5 2B 10 R 10 RBI and is now only vaguely unhappy about his situation ![]() Philadelphia Athletics: It was a major bummer to see Doonan Elmes traded off to the Louisville Colonels, but Connie Mack and the Philaelphia Athletics feel they got a lot in return. All three of the players they got in the trade are currently on the roster. We all know what Ray Cable can (and can't) do: he can hit but hasn't played a full season since 1899. He's 33 and is showing his age. That being said, Ulysses S. Grant III might already be a better player. He earned the call-up after hitting .368 in the minors. He is the grandson of the Civil War hero and President of the United States. Finally, C Wally Hanley doesn't have Grant's pedigree but hit an equally impressive .358 before moving over to the City of Brotherly Love. Update 2B George Marshall .345 BA (.146 in June) 1 2B 1 3B 39 R 7 RBI 17 SB P Rube Lindsley 11-4 1.80 ERA 124.2 IP 26 BB 112 K (on pace for 296) RF Doonan Elmes was traded to the Louisville Colonels on the 9th for Ray Cable and 2 prospects. .355 BA 8 2B 1 3B 1 HR 26 R 25 RBI ![]() Pittsburgh Pirates: With his team sitting on top of the league, reigning MVP Johnston "Captain Kid" Long is once again leading the way. He's maybe just a little bit off of what he was doing last year: a .308 average to date, 31 runs scored, and 20 steals are all among the league leaders but not actually leading the league anymore. The worst that can be said about the man is that he is a sometimes indifferent fielder. Update P Ken Cudlip 8-4, 2.27 ERA, 107 IP, 17 BB, 61 K 1B Jon Choate .310 BA, 11 2B, 3 3B, 22 R, 38 RBI, 4 SB RF Ned Kelly Jr. .319 BA 18 2B 6 3B 3 HR 43 R 23 RBI 6 RBI ![]() St. Louis Cardinals: RF Toby Mudd doesn't seem to realize that his team is having a very disappointing season after contending for a league title in 1901 and 1902. Mudd is hitting .298 right now, a bit off from the .331 that he put up last year, but when you take the level of offense of the league into account he's really doing just as well. Update 1B Paul Woolcock .335 BA 3 2B 2 3B 23 R 12 RBI, 9 SB IF Woody Randles .253 (.318 since returning) 2 2B 1 3B 1 HR 12 R 12 RBI 2 SB P Teh-Huai Wang 1-3 3.07 ERA 44 IP 18 BB 23 K ![]() Washington Senators: The Nats are soaring to a close 2nd place mark in the American League due to their great hitting. Despite playing in spacious Griffith Stadium, they're 2nd in the AL in runs scored with 284. Leading the charge is 1B Matt Barlow, who's hitting .336 and despite his age (he turns 37 in November) has swiped 11 stolen bases. With 2 more hits, he'll have 2,000 in his career. Update P Brian Pike 9-4, 2.32 ERA, 112.1 IP, 25 BB, 69 K 2B/SS Kayne McMartin .309 BA, 18 2B, 1 3B, 35 R, 12 RBI, 7 SB OF Behellagh Pennefather .329 BA 8 2B 5 3B 5 HR 31 R 41 RBI 13 SB
