The Red Sox Slow Start - FLUKE
The Red Sox started the year as one of the top WS candidates, but went 0-6. Now, at 5-10, the Sox are finally starting to win, but are still way behind the Stankees. With a good rotation and great hitting, they should snap out of it. After all, Crawford hitting .127 wont last.
The Colorado Rockies Hot Start - THE REAL DEAL
I predicted the Rox to not even make the playoffs, but they could rival the Giants and the Wild Card. They have Tulo-Cargo, which is as good if not better than any 3-4 in the game. Good fielding and average pitching means they could go far.
Placido Polanco's Hot Start - THE REAL DEAL
Placido has always been a solid ballplayer, especially known for stellar defense. He hit .298 last year which is not bad at all, but he's on an even hotter start this year. I think Placido will keep on hitting well, and finish the year around .315.
Cleveland Indians Hot Start - FLUKE
The Indians are 12-4 and are not slowing down. They are shocking everyone, using sub-par players and rocking. But they are the Indians. Sorry Cleveland.
Sam Fuld's Hot Start - THE REAL DEAL
Curse of the Cubs. Just like Casey McGehee, he was a crappy minor leaguer on the Iowa Cubs and they released him. Now, he's leading the AL in batting and stealing a ton of bases.
The Brewers Offense - FLUKE
The Brewers have always been an offensive team, and became contenders when they picked up pitching on top of that. The pitching has been great, anchored by sophomore Chris Narveson who has given up just 3 runs in 19 innings, and when Grienke returns the pitching staff will get even better. But the offense has been just bad. Besides Braun, Fielder, and a now ice-cold Weeks, the team struggles to get hits. Luckily, Lucroy is hitting .368 since he came back, and Nyjer Morgan will be starting for the horrible Carlos Gomez one of these days.
A shoutout to my friend Michael from Philly, which may increase my slim blog viewer ship from 6 to 7. Kind of like the Vikings win total.
