At first I thought, 4 springers over 20 lbs!! Nahhhhhhhhhh, its Sparkey.

Early Mojo for the Ms. Boone, Suzuki, and Olerud are all in the top 10 in batting average in the AL. Mini-slumping Edgar is still around 300 and Cameron is not far behind. Even Mclemore is getting into the act. I just hope these guys aren't playing out of their minds, only to return to earth later.

I think the bigger park and the lack of heavy hitters are making the team take shorter more controlled strokes, hitting for average instead of the fences. The great pitching has also got to be a plus for the offense--no need to run up those large scores.

Last time Pinella had a start like this was when he took the Reds to the pennant in 90. Dare to hope, could this be the year?
