Stephen Gardner - Stephen played his 1st Major League game against the Kansas City Royals. Although he got the loss in his debut he did show the reason why he is ranked the 2nd best player from the draft last year. Gardner went 6.0 innings and managed to strikeout 8 while giving up 6 hits but only 1 run. Posting a 1.50 ERA in your first ML game is not bad, not bad at all. Gardner should have walked out with a win but when your team can't put up runs, you won't anything. Rikiya Maeda - Maeda hasn't been able to show the staff and fans how good he really is. It is still way too early to give up on him but he is stinking it up with a .100 batting average and only 1 hit through 3 games.
