Relief Pitchers
1.) Danny Hernandez - 0-0 / 4.09 ERA / 11 inn / 16-5 K-BB
2.) Matthew Williams - 3-0 / 4.26 ERA / 12.2 inn / 14-5 K-BB
3.) Aaron Craig - 2-0 / 7.15 ERA / 11.1 inn / 13-5 K-BB
4.) Matthew Fox - 1-0 / 2.87 ERA / 15.2 inn / 21-3 K-BB
5.) Brandon McConnell - 1-1 / 6.23 ERA / 17.1 inn / 18-6 K-BB
6.) Patrick Bryant - 0-0 / 9.45 ERA / 6.2 inn / 10-4 K-BB

Danny Hernandez went 3 innings in 3 games. His ERA went down by .41 points, and he had 5 K's against 1 BB.

Matthew Williams went 3 innings in 2 games while picking up a win. His ERA went down by 1.33 points, and he had 4 K's.

Aaron Craig pitched 2 innings in 2 games. His ERA went down by 1.53 points, and he had 3 K's and 1 BB.

Matthew Fox went 2.2 innings in 1 game. His ERA went down by .59 points, and he had 3 K's.

Brandon McConnell went 1 inning in 1 game. His ERA went up by .17 points, and he had 2 K's and 1 BB.

Patrick Bryant went 1 inning in 1 game. His ERA went down by 1.67 points and he picked up a K.

Dan Leatherman was promoted very quickly from the Low Rookie GCL Twins. His story is a good one, as he was signed by the Twins at a try-out and has been dominating everyone he has faced so far. He didn't allow a run in 9 innings for the GCL team, and has gone 7 innings now without allowing a run for Elizabethton.

Jon Staatz also was promoted from the GCL to Elizabethton, after going 2-0 with a 3.09 ERA in 11.2 innings. He also had an outstanding 20-3 K-BB ratio (in 11.2 innings, remember!). He's kept it up so far with 4 K's in 3 innings thus far for Elizabethton.

Walter Patton, perhaps not surprisingly, did not pitch this week.

Catchers
1.) Jeffrey Christy - 16 games / .291 BA / 1 HR / 9 RBI

Daniel Berg started 2 games at 1B, 2 at DH, and 1 at C. His batting average fell by 6 points, and he hit 2 HR's with 6 RBI's.

Michael Lysaught started 3 games at 2B. He actually has a batting average now, at least, which is an improvement; sadly, it's not much of one.

Yancarlos Ortiz started 3 games at SS. His batting average fell by 4 points and he picked up an RBI.

Neither Brian Dinkelman or Henry Sanchez played this week.

Outfielders
LF - Josh Land - 15 games / .175 BA / 1 HR / 7 RBI
CF - Danny Santiesteban - 26 games / .240 BA / 3 HR / 15 RBI

GCL Twins

Starting Pitchers

1.) Curtis Leavitt - 0-0 / 7.20 ERA / 20 inn / 23-11 K-BB
2.) David Bromberg - 2-1 / 2.74 ERA / 23 inn / 15-10 K-BB
3.) Dave Gassner - 0-0 / 3.60 ERA / 5 inn / 4-0 K-BB
4.) Michael Allen - 0-0 / 9.00 ERA / 1 inn / 2-2 K-BB
5.) Adam Revelette - 1-1 / 4.05 ERA / 6.2 inn / 7-1 K-BB

Things got werid in the GCL rotation this week, as 3 of the regular starters either didn't pitch at all or made starts out of the bullpen. I adjusted as appropriate, but be aware that the pitchers on this team have roles that take them in and out of the rotation regularly.

Curtis Leavitt went 4 innings in his start. His ERA went up by 1.01 points, and he had a pretty bad 3 K's against 5 BB's.

David Bromberg went 7 innings and picked up the win in his start. His ERA went down by .07 points, and he had 5 K's with just 1 BB.

Dave Gassner made his first couple appearances of the year, but he's only with the GCL Twins for rehab. He should be in AA or AAA before too long.

Michael Allen pitched 1 inning in his start. There's not much else to say, but he's a new addition to the team.

Adam Revelette started a game and also made a relief appearance. Like Allen, he's new to the team.

Relief Pitchers
1.) Robert Delaney - 1-1 / 3.63 ERA / 17.1 inn / 14-1 K-BB
2.) Jakub Toufar - 0-0 / 7.56 ERA / 8.1 inn / 3-4 K-BB
