Exactly. Hampton hasn't lost in a while, and considering he started out so bad and now he's up to 11-9 I would say he's doing well. Jaret Wright is just unbelievable. Russ Ortiz (minus his last start) is doing very well. Thompson is doing well for what he's worth, and Paul Byrd is also pitching well. Chipper's hot as ever with 85 or so RBI's (and everyone knows he was doing piss all for the first half). Andruw has started to come to life. JD is the workhorse of the group having a career year. Furcal is hot as well. Giles can get it done and is very underated. Laroche is a good roleplayer, as is Charles Thomas, Eddie Perez, and Eli Marrero. Estrada is also a .320 hitter.
Throw in their bullpen with Cruz, Alfonseca, and Smoltz you have a pretty good team. Reitsma is decent as well. Not to mention the new guys they've tried out in Travis Smith, Roman Colon, and Jose Capellan who started today and had good stuff. They have a lot of good players, no superstars, just good players.
Big time joke there.
