Players of the Block - Block 1

ELLIS BURKS (SFN) -- AL Batter of the Block
San Francisco outfielder Ellis Burks earns the AL honors for the first block of 2002. He led the league in RBIs (25), Runs Scored (25) as well as batting average (.455). In addition to that, he belted 6 home runs and recorded a SLG percentage of .727.

RYAN KLESKO (NYA) -- NL Batter of the Block
New York slugger Ryan Klesko was an easy choice for the NL award this block. His incredible 32 RBIs in 21 games help lead NY to their early season dominance in the NL. In addition to his RBIs, he batted .429 with 11 doubles and 6 home runs.

ORLANDO HERNANDEZ (SEA) -- AL Pitcher of the Block
Seattle starter Orlando Hernandez became the first 4 game winner of the season in the AL, winning all 4 of his starts. His ERA for the block was 2.20 and he struckout 19.

PAUL BYRD (NYA) -- NL Pitcher of the Block
Another New Yorker joins Klesko in the NL with an award of his own. Paul Byrd was 6-0 in the first block of the season. In his 42 innings of work he allowed only 28 hits and recorded an ERA of 2.79.

Congrats to the winners...

Seattle Scores 3 TD's (21 runs) in Victory

It was a crazy night for the Seattle offense. Every starter had at least 1 hit, while 6 batters had a multi-hit game. Along with 22 hits, Seattle reached base another 13 times with Florida's pitching allowing 13 walks.

In an embarrassing outing for the reeling Florida Marlins pitching staff,
seemingly unstoppable Seattle Mariners flexed their collective muscle
amassing 21 runs as Ryan Franklin(2-2)with bullpen support allowed Florida 7
runs.
 
Alex Rodriguez enjoyed a fine evening at the plate.  He smacked a single in
the 4th inning, doubled bringing in a run in the 5th inning and blasted a
two-run home run (his 4th of the season) in the 6th inning.  Seattle bats
were very productive in the 4th inning when they had 5 runs on 5 hits and the
9th inning which saw them plate 4 runs on 4 hits.  The Seattle offense poured
it on, scoring in 8 of the 9 innings.  
 
The losing pitcher was Brad Penny(1-2).  He got hit hard, allowing 11 hits and
5 walks in 4 innings.  Seattle won for the 7th straight time. Mike Petersen
was in a talkative mood after the ballgame.  'Fellows, I don't know what to
tell you. our guys are just playing lights out lately.  Everything and
everybody is just really hitting on all cylinders.  I know it can't last
forever - but that isn't going to stop us from trying!'

Sammy Sosa Dealt to White Sox

For the second time in two seasons, Sammy Sosa has been traded. This time, Arizona has sent the right-hand hitting slugger to Chicago along with a third round draft pick in 2003 for Magglio Ordonez. (Trade will be effective for Block 2).

Sammy, in two seasons, has compiled these numbers:

Schilling Gets Nod Over Johnson in Arizona Opener

Curt Schilling has been named the Arizona opening game starter for the second straight season. Schilling won a tightly contested spring training battle with fellow ace Randy Johnson for the honor. Johnson, the 2 time Cy Young award winner, seemed okay when asked about the decision, and said "The competition between Curt and I makes us both better pitchers and helps the team."

Cards 2001 #1 Pick Gets Nod in Opener

The St. Louis Cardinals announced that Odalis Perez will be their starting pitcher for their season opener in Montreal. Perez, the #14th pick in the 2001 draft, is being counted on to provide a boost to the Cards rotation over the next couple of years. "We've lost a lost of offense for the 2002 season" stated skipper John Helmbrecht. "So, we are going to need to depend on our pitching to help get us through this season." Last season St. Louis, playing in a NL-Park, finished third in team batting average and seventh in runs scored. "I do not expect we will come anywhere near these rankings this year", said John.

Seattle Announces Opening Day Starter

Defending Champion Seattle Mariners have announced Jamie Moyer as their opening day starter against Florida. Moyer, in his third season with Seattle, compiled a 12-10 mark with a 4.22 ERA in 2001. Last year in the post season, Jamie posted a 2-1 mark which included a 6-2 win over Oakland in the third game of the championship series.

Other Top Draft Picks. . . .

Front line starting pitchers are always tough to come by, and that is what the Cleveland Indians did by taking Mark Prior with the second pick in the draft. Toronto, picking third, wasted little time in selecting Travis Hafner. Toronto manager Robert Emrich remarked that he was surprised that Travis was available at #3. Boston, solid with starting pitching already (Pedro Martinez, Wakefield, Glavine and Derek Lowe), decided to go with speed and defense by selecting left fielder Carl Crawford. Florida might have been the biggest winner in the early draft selections by picking Jake Peavy at #5.

Big "Z" Number #1 Pick

The Minnesota Twins, lucky winners of this year's draft lottery, selected Carlos Zambrano as the #1 pick. The 6' 5" 250 lb. 21 year old righthander was born in Venezuela on June 1, 1981. The Twins have been building quite a formidable starting staff which includes Johan Santana, Roy Halladay, Zambrano and Josh Beckett (selected with the 6th pick in the first round).

Mark McGwire Retires From Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that they have cut Mark McGwire from their 17-man protected list and that he has retired. Big Mac, in his two seasons with the Redbirds, batted .302 with 56 Homers. McGwire's best MSL season for St. Louis was in 2000 when he hit .328 with 37 HR's and 98 RBI's in just 241 at bats - mostly against left handed pitching.

McGwire's best single game occurred on July 3, 2000 against the Philadelphia Phillies. McGwire hit 3 homeruns and drove in 7 runs at Coors Field in a 15-5 win over the Phillies.

Draft Lottery to be Held on Wed Jan 17th & Thur Jan 18th

We will be conducting our draft lottery on Wednesday, January 17th and Thursday, January 18th.....

The “Pennsylvania Daily Number NITE” lottery (http://www.palottery.state.pa.us/) on subsequent nights (7PM EST) will be used to decide who gets the #1 and #2 picks in the first round only. If the second pick yields the same result as the first night, then a third night’s lottery drawing will be used. The remaining 10 teams will draft in reverse order of record. So, the team with the poorest record can do no worst than pick third in the first round.

000 to 249 – Toronto (53-109)
250 to 449 – Cleveland (64-98)

Shortstop Jose Hernandez smashed 3 homeruns and had 6 RBI and Kevin Jarvis
came through with a solid 6 innings at Pacific Bell Park as the very potent
Arizona team belted the Minnesota Twins by the count of 13 to 0.
 
Hernandez was spectacular at the plate.  He ripped a solo home run in the 3rd
inning, rifled a three-run blast in the 4th inning, cracked a two-run shot
(his 18th of the season) in the 6th inning and slapped a base-hit in the 8th
inning.  Arizona finished with 14 hits while Minnesota ended up with 2.
 
Jarvis(12-7) went 6 innings allowing no runs for the win. Johan Santana(1-1)
was the loser.  He was touched for 4 homeruns in his 4 innings of work.  
 
'I didn't feel that good when I came to the park tonight,' Hernandez said.
'I'm glad I decided to play!'
