Relief Pitchers
1.) Jose Cordero - 0-1 / 9.95 ERA / 6.1 inn / 6-6 K-BB
2.) Yohan Pino - 6-1 / 1.45 ERA / 43.1 inn / 55-11 K-BB
3.) Frank Mata - 4-2 / 2.45 ERA / 25.2 inn / 13-7 K-BB
4.) David Shinskie - 5-5 / 2.57 ERA / 49 inn / 39-12 K-BB
5.) Danny Vais - 1-2 / 2.23 ERA / 40.1 inn / 39-10 K-BB
6.) Alexander Smit - 2-1 / 4.19 ERA / 38.2 inn / 47-20 K-BB
7.) John Cline - 0-1 / 3.38 ERA / 2.2 inn / 3-2 K-BB

Every reliever improved his ERA from where it was a week ago, except for Cline, who had not yet pitched in a game for Beloit: Yohan Pino (.14), Frank Mata (.04), David Shinskie (.36), Danny Vais (.37), Alexander Smit (.56), Jose Cordero (10.3). Yes, Cordero imroved his ERA by over 10 points. That's what happens when you pitch 5 innings and had only pitched 1.1 innings before. Pino, Mata and Shinskie all picked up wins as well, while only Cline was saddled with a loss.

Catchers
1.) Caleb Moore - 61 games / .282 BA / 2 HR / 23 RBI
2.) Allan de San Miguel - 37 games / .196 BA / 0 HR / 14 RBI
3.) Jose Leger - 3 games / .111 BA / 0 HR / 0 RBI

I had assumed that Jose Leger would be primarily a backup infielder with Beloit, but in the 3 games that he's played for the Snappers he was the DH once and caught twice, so I'm listing him here for now. As you can see, he hasn't been a force so far, going 1-for-9 in his three games.

Caleb Moore started 3 games behind the plate and 1 as the DH. His batting average dropped by 3 points, but he picked up 1 RBI.

Allan de San Miguel started 2 games behind the plate, raising his batting average by 2 points.

Infielders
1.) Erik Lis - 67 games / .323 BA / 8 HR / 42 RBI
2.) Paul Kelly - 71 games / .274 BA / 3 HR / 38 RBI
3.) Andrew Thompson - 58 games / .266 BA / 3 HR / 17 RBI
4.) Toby Gardenhire - 43 games / .213 BA / 0 HR / 8 RBI
5.) Juan Portes - 21 games / .210 BA / 0 HR / 7 RBI
6.) Steven Tolleson - 47 games / .287 BA / 2 HR / 16 RBI

Steven Tolleson continues to be on the missing persons list, not playing in any games for another week. I assume that he is on the disabled list, but haven't confirmed that.

Erik Lis started every game at 1B, raising his batting average by 8 points and picking up 5 RBI's.

Paul Kelly started 3 games at SS, 1 at 3B, and one as the DH. His batting average went up by 2 points and he picked up a couple of RBI's.

Andrew Thompson got 3 starts at SS and 3 at 2B. His batting average stayed right where it was, but he picked up 6 RBI's.

Toby Gardenhire started 3 games at 2B, 2 at SS, and 1 at 3B. He had a pretty good week, raising his batting average by 20 points and getting an RBI.

Juan Portes played in all 7 games, starting 3 at 3B, 2 at DH, 1 at 2B, and 1 in LF. His batting average fell by 18 points, but he picked up 3 RBI's.
