Players of the
Month
Major League -
Pitcher of the
Month - TIM
REDDING
|

Tim
Redding
Washington
Nationals |
Tim
started
off the
season
strong,
proving
why the
Nationals
are
considering
him one
of their
consistently
starting
pitchers.
Manny
Acta,
Washington
GM had
this to
say
about
Tim
after
another
strong
outing
by him,
Tuesday
April
29th,
“Redding
did a
tremendous
job. He
ran his
pitch
count up
early in
the
game,
but he
did very
well.
He stood
out
there in
the last
inning.
He’s not
a kid
anymore,
so we
gave him
a chance
to work
through
Kotsay
instead
of
bringing
in the
lefty
out of
the
bullpen...Redding
battles
every
five
days."
Redding
has the
most
innings
pitched
of all
the LMG
Pitchers
(33.0)
and the
second
most
wins
(3).

Major League -
Position Player
of the Month -
DAVID MURPHY
|

David
Murphy
Texas
Rangers |
David
has
started
the 2008
season
strong,
batting
a
solid.290
in 100
at
bats.
His
consistent
and
reliable
performance
has the
Rangers
excited
about
their
acquisition.
Murphy
has
proved
all the
reports
wrong
and
performed.
After
the
first
week of
the
season
MLB.com
was
saying,
“One
this has
emerged
from the
first
week of
the
season
for the
Rangers...David
Murphy
does not
appear
to be a
fourth
outfielder,
no
matter
what
they
thought
in
Boston.”
Manager
Ron
Washington
said, “I
expected
to
round-robin
all of
them but
[Murphy]
is
swinging
the bat
well, as
long as
he’s
swinging
the bat
and
playing
as well
as he’s
playing,
you’ve
got to
pencil
him in.
Even
when he
doesn’t
get his
hits,
he’s on
base
with a
walk.
He’s
catching
everything
that’s
hit to
him and
running
things
down out
there.
He’s
playing
good
baseball.”

Minor League -
Pitcher of the
Month - JON
NIESE
|

Jon
Niese
Binghamton
Mets |
Niese
came out
strong
this
April
posting
an
amazing
0.71 ERA
after
five
game
starts
and 25.1
innings
of
work.
Jon also
notched
two wins
and his
K:BB
Ratio is
a
phenomenal
22:7.
USA
Today
had
these
comments
about
Jon on
April
25:
Double-A
Binghamton's
Jon
Niese is
sporting
a 0.71
ERA
after
throwing
six
scoreless
innings
on
Thursday.
Niese,
the top
pitching
prospect
left in
the
Mets'
system,
is
holding
Eastern
League
hitters
to a
.198
average.
There's
a good
chance
injuries
will
force
him to
make his
major
league
debut
this
year,
though
he
shouldn't
be ready
for a
permanent
rotation
spot
until
the
middle
of 2009
anyway.
