Peavy and Humber have thrown the only shutouts in the AL this season, which gives an idea of how tough the Sox starting rotation is. Batters are hitting only .172 against Peavy. He has a 26-4 K’s to BB’s ratio. This is the Jake Peavy KW traded for. Peavy didn’t win his third game till June 22 last season.

Best of all the Sox are tied with Yankees, Blue Jays and Tigers for second best record in AL with 10 wins and 6 losses.

Their bats are starting to come alive, their pitching isn’t melting down and there are no dramas playing out anywhere near the team. I’ll take it.

I should note, since I am a positive person, that with yesterday’s victory the Cubs pulled to within one game of 5th place in their division.

Last time I checked the NL Central had two 7-9 teams tied for 2nd, so the Cubs have a chance to get back in it. Dolis was first reliever with a win yesterday and Garza had the first hit by a Cubs pitcher this season.

Adam Dunn at the 10 percent of the season mark with 16 games is on track to hit 40 home runs and drive in 140 runs. He is on a pace to strikeout 263 times, but that doesn’t matter since he has 26 strikeouts now, but his hits and walks add up to 26, so will take that and his .550 slugging percentage. MlBtraderumors.com said that a scout said Dunn looks a lot more comfortable at the plate this season.

I wonder if MLBTradeRumors talked to my buddy the scout.

It probably was your buddy the scout, since he said about the same thing a month or two ago.

He said it back in January.

I’ll have that post as soon as all matchups are finalized.

If he called that in January that is one smart scout.

Yes he is. He is one very smart man.

I have a lot of respect for baseball scouts. They see things an average fan like me would never notice.

I’ve been skeptical of Peavy, Dunn and Rios. Stiall am, but not nearly as much as I was before the season started.

It’s still early though and they could still tank, but if they continure the way they are now..who knows?

Like Tom I hope the Sox are for real. Rios leading the team in hitting at .360 is a major plus. Sox still have 3 regulars hitting .191 and lower with Viciedo hitting .191, Beckham .170 and Morel at .164.

Bench players are hitting:

Lillibridge .214
Fukudome .188
Escobar .182
Flowers .111

With 6 players hitting below the Mendoza line, some of them will break loose anyday, since it is easy to raise an average with so few at bats.

The four bench players combined have one home run and 3 RBI.
