Red Sox infield is like 10000x better than it was last season. I think that has been a big key in why they've been so hot lately.

Youkilis and Gonzo have been such improvements over Millar and Edgerror Renteria. Renteria admitted in the paper that he couldn't handle the pressure and that was his excuse for sucking, probably true since he is now doing good in a city where nobody cares about baseball.

I can definetly foresee some future errors tho when they move Wily Mo to first base. As of right now, Youkilis's back up is Mark Loretta so they need some more depth there.

I voted for Gibbons because I like how he's handled the playing time of Cat and Hinske. Its hard to keep guys going when they don't play every day but he's done a great job. If the bullpen (sans Ryan) can figure it out they'll when the division.

Leyland I think is average. He has a great team but I don't think it's because of anything he's doing. When you have starting pitching as solid as theirs it's hard to look bad as a manger.

It's hard to be that hard on a guy who has played his whole career in the NL and then struggles in the AL. It happens to everybody who switches leagues with the exception of guys like Vlad and Thome that had already proven theirselves as top 5 hitters in the game.

Was Thome in the NL before the Indians? Because I wouldn't think that two or three injury plagued years in the NL would put him on the same level as somebody who played in the NL for their whole career.

Yeah he had one ridiculously bad month but he's heating up now. It's amazing that we're in 2nd and above .500 with Beltre, Sexson, Johjima, Guardado and King Felix all struggling

Yeah if it was just hitting I'd buy that but I don't think switching leagues really effects your defense. He was awful last season at shortstop

Papelbon is a rookie, but I think the year he is having goes above and beyond the rest of the AL rookies.... the Cy Young would be a much higher honor.

But there are other AL rookies that deserve the chance to win the ROY award.

How can people still believe that Verlander is a better rookie than Francisco "Mr. 1.83 ERA" Liriano? Now he has 10 wins, tied for fourth in the AL, and he is I think sixth place in the AL for strikeouts. All six above him have pitched at least 20 more innings than him. Verlander is a joke compared to Liriano, and Papelbon winning the Cy Young would be a complete joke. ESPN might have you think it'd be a good idea to give a rookie closer from Boston the award, but there are obviously better pitchers who have been just as important to their winning teams as he has. FUCK.
