Early Season Thoughts

BRETT ANDERSON EXTENSION WOOOOO! Also, BRETT ANDERSON DOMINANCE WOOO!

Gio has also been pretty awesome. Actually, everyone besides Sheets has been awesome, and I'm not panicking on Sheets yet...ok I am panicking, but he could still easily revert to being an above average pitcher.

On offense, not much happiness, but that was expected. Barton has been insane. I was optimistic about Barton, he won't be this awesome all season, obviously, but if he can throw up a .400+ OBP I will be ecstatic. Pennington has been better than expected, but that might be because I'm really pessimistic about him.

The bench has been great. Rosales is a beast. Gross has had a nifty start. Patterson...well, I still believe in him.

I've been enjoying the whole first place thing, but I've been realisitc. Yes, we have been playing really well, and the performances havent been all that flukey good, but still our competition has been...less than stellar. M's, well, I've said many times I'm not a believer, and without Lee they are pretty much a joke. Angels and Rangers are just not great teams, better than us, maybe, but still not that strong. And then theres the orioles...yea...I love free wins.
