The Pearls of April:
- 1. CL Alistair Grieves - 0.84 ERA, 9 Saves, 13K, 0 BB, 0.8 WAR - Made the All-Star game last year, looks to repeat this year already
- 2. 1B Sandro Trujillo - .330 /.391/.496, 4 HR, 16 RBI - despite not being the opening day first baseman, Trujillo has stepped into the role and has solidified himself with both his bat and gold-glove caliber defense.
- 3. DH Scott Hoover - .363/.387/.500, 3 HR, 18 RBI - despite being relegated to the DH role due to his less-than-stellar glove, Hoover has been mashing for the Pearls so far.
- 4. 2B Grigory Vojjinsky - .341/.372/.585, 2 HR, 8 RBI - his home runs and RBI stats seem low because he just became the everyday second baseman in the last week of the season. He is red hot and looks to be a major spark in 2041.
- The Pearls are first in batting average, hits, and strikeouts on both defense and offense
- However, the Pearls are near the bottom in Starting Pitching ERA, Opponent's BABIP, and Home Runs Allowed
- The Pearls' home record is an abysmal 1-5
- C Jeff Melton has seen better days as he has been waived and DFA'd once again.
- 1B Alejandro Guterriez entered 2041 as the starting first baseman, but has been outplayed by everyone. He is now in AAA and hoping to find his swing.
- CF Juan Castillo is the first of many prospects to see the UMEBA this year as he was just called up at the end of April to take over in center field.
- After coming over in the big trade, SP Mauro Silva has been up and down in his first UMEBA month, but he did have a game where he threw 8 shutout innings
- The fans are waiting patiently for CF Joshua Koka's debut, but with a crowded outfield and his .255 in AA, fans will have to wait a little longer.
- A minor injury to 2B Wally Geoghegan will slow his progress down slightly, but he is mashing in A-ball slashing .359/.423/.484
- SP Johan Trojka is coming on hot in AA, confidently throwing to a 2-2, 3.86 ERA, 34 K month. Analysts see him making the move up to AAA and possibly the UMEBA very soon.
