Players of the Block - Block 6

BARRY BONDS (SFN) -- AL Batter of the Block
In a very close contest, San Francisco slugger Barry Bonds earns the AL award this block. In block 6 he batted .340 with an OBP of .535. He hit 10 home runs and drove in 21. His SLG was an impressive 1.020!

BRAD WILKERSON (PHN) -- NL Batter of the Block
Philly outfielder Brad Wilkerson led trhe NL with his .410 average and 26 RBIs for the block. He hit 6 home runs and scored 17 times as well.

BILLY WAGNER (HON) -- AL Pitcher of the Block
Houston closer Billy Wagner recorded 7 saves in the block along with his 3-0 record. In 14 2/3 innings of work he struckout 20 while allowing 11 hits. His ERA for the block was 2.45.

DOUG DAVIS (CHA) -- NL Pitcher of the Block
Chicago pitcher Doug Davis was 3-0 in 4 starts in block 6 to earn the NL award. His ERA for the block was 2.84.

2004 Rookie Draft (Cont'd) - Ryan Howard

Yes, it's true! Ryan Howard is slated to be available in next year's Millennium League rookie draft. Born 11/19/70 in St. Louis, MO, Ryan played the 2003 campaign in high class A ball at Clearwater, FL. The big first basemen hit 23 homeruns, knocked in 82 runs and hit for a .304 average. Most likely, Howard will see considerable playing time with the AA Reading Phillies but could very well be playing next year at the major league level as well.

Darren Dreifort Pitches Unlikely No-Hitter

New York (AP) - San Francisco Giant righthander Darren Dreifort achieved what every pitcher dreams of - pitching a no-hitter at historic Yankee Stadium. The seldom used Giant pitcher kept the high scoring Yankee offense and partisan crowd subdued all evening. Dreifort walked two and struck out eight in his gem. His record improved to 3-0 with a 2.72 ERA for the season.

This is the second no-hitter of the season as the Angels' Jose Contreras pitched one against the Astros back in early April. For a complete list of Millennium League no-hitters, click here.

2004 Rookie Draft (Cont'd) - David Wright

High Class A St. Lucie Mets third baseman David Wright figures to be selected high in the upcoming 2004 MSL draft. Born in Norfolk, VA on 12/20/82, Wright hit .270 with 15 homeruns and 75 RBI's for St. Lucie in 2003 and was named a Florida State League all-star. Wright was the 38th overall pick in the 2001 high school draft. He also signed a national letter of intent to play in college for Georgia Tech, but signed to play minor league ball instead.

2004 Rookie Draft - Matt Holliday

As our 2003 season starts to wind down, some teams are already looking forward to next season's draft. One of the top tier rookies that will be drafted very early next year is outfielder Matt Holliday. Born 1/15/80 in Stillwater, OK, Holliday was right at home playing for the 2003 AA Tulsa Drillers. Matt spent his second straight year at Double-A where he quietly enjoyed a solid season...although he hit just .253, Matt led Tulsa with 72 RBI...he tied for the team lead with 28 doubles and his career-best 132 hits trailed only Cory Sullivan (167) on the squad...also set personal highs in games (135), extra-base hits (45) and total bases (206)...Tulsa's everyday leftfielder, Holliday ranked T2nd in the Texas League with 15 outfield assists.....

Moises Alou had 4 hits and 3 RBI at Kauffman Stadium as the Houston Astros

came back dramatically to top the Kansas City Royals by the score of 17 to

12.

 

Matt Herges(2-2) did what was required of him in relief and came away with the

win.  He surrendered 2 hits and 2 walks in 1 and 2/3 innings.  Houston bats

were hot in the 9th inning which saw them plate 6 runs on 6 hits.  The

Houston offense man-handled the Kansas City pitching staff as they scored in

8 of the 9 innings.  

 

Billy Wagner recorded the save, his 22nd.  Matt Kinney(2-7) suffered the loss

in relief.  He got hit pretty hard, allowing 9 hits and 3 walks in 5 innings.
