Just 10 games in, but my take so far on a few things;

Overbay slumping right now is OK...only because guys like Gonzalez and Wells are playing over their heads. When they come back down, Overbay can't keep putting up K's in the middle of the lineup like this. They have to give Ruiz some at-bats, his stats last year were fairly massive for their sample size...that bat just sitting on the bench is such a waste.

The rotation so far looks good, sans Morrow. Once Zep-chin-ski is healthy, Morrow can move to the pen and the rotation should look even better. Gotta think Eveland will come down a little, but great so far for a number 5 guy. Marcum and Romero look really promising again, hope they can both stay healthy. Tallet is what he is...a guy that will go out, throw 6 innings and keep you in the ballgame. Not much more, usually not much less.

Nice to see 7 wins out of 10, and 9 ballgames that were winnable until the final out. Texas should be a good team this year and so should the White Sox, and a 4-3 record against those guys is respectable. Tack on a sweep of the hapless Orioles which should be beaten, and the Jays (albeit a tiny sample) are playing solid against good competition and beating up on the welterweights....a must have if they want to be decent.

Get Hill back in there and this should be fun.
