Second Place (a novel and most exciting experience as May dawns (Blue Ward Cyclone Owner and Assistant GM (in charge of scouting) - Andrew Decker):
If all that Will Carroll (bravely willing to talk about how bravely willing he is to talk about things that nobody else will talk about, like baseball injuries, and also willing to admit how willing he is to admit he has a great job) has written about Felix Hernandez is close to correct, then what in God's name is Seattle thinking at this point?
I think the Dwight Gooden comparisons have merit so far, and like Dwight Gooden, the red flags are starting to build up a little too quickly, though in more correctible ways perhaps. How often do we see organizations fail to re-evaluate their strategies and methods because they are content in doing what anybody else would do? In other words, doing just enough so nobody can blame them for failure? And throwing across the body is almost a mortal sin at this point.
I wish I was more surprised by the Cubs slow start. I do think they're about to have a decent month of May. I haven't seen their schedule yet, but Zambrano is coming around, and that should dovetail nicely with Hill returning closer to the Earth's atmosphere, and I think both Lee and Soriano are going to hit for more power in the first case, and with simply more authority in the second. What are they going to do with this team, however, if it's 8 and 1/2 out at the trading deadline? I think this month is going to see the Cubs pitching fade a bit, but is going to see a nicely resurgent offense. Especially if they can get Izzzturis a bit less playing time.
He's worse than Neifi.
