One week doesn't really give us a good idea yet (that goes for the Royals too). Some extreme numbers. One thing that sticks out is how pitching is producing a lot more points than bats. Now some could be contributed to early season and cold weather when pitching has the advantage. But I don't think that accounts for that much. Rather I feel with the point adjustments we are going to see this all year long. As far as strategy it really doesn't change anything.

With all the 'pre-openings' it is hard to get an accurate week total. I looked through the top guys and I didn't notice any of them taking advantage of the double start for like Matsuzaka or Blanton, etc.

One note, I think this year I am going to try and do this on Tuesday's. It falls on the natural week and since we are starting this time at the beginning and if we carry it all the way through, we will have some accurate data.

Thanks for the commentary sir, it was refreshing to read an article that doesn't bash my team! Anyhow, I forgot to post last week that you could die happy, on the same day the Royals swept the Tigers and you sat alone atop the standings.

I have to admit that it felt pretty good. Of course you should enjoy your spot right now with the Sox.

And who is bashing your team? Or were you talking about the Sox?

I think went the bats start to heat up that you will see things even out.
