iNo quiero a Quero!

Teel homers in his rehab debut. Counting the minutes. Swap Quero with Teel and this is a respectable team.

Players contributing

A lot of players contributing this season: Mune, C-Mont, Vargas, Kelenic, Antonacci, Peters, Meidroth, Hill, Grichuk, Romo, Martin, Burke, Kay, Hudson, Taylor, Newcomb, Dominguez. Schultz has been pretty good for a rookie. Fedde has been respectable. A lot of contributors. Nice to see.

Yes, the AL Central is a bit of a joke. But you can't pick your own division. You deal the hand you're dealt and do the best you can. Will be interesting when the AL Central really starts mixing it up. My guess is, we won't be all bunched up and a true leader will emerge. Will it be the Sox? Struggling offense wouldn't hint at that but they have been playing outstanding baseball the past couple weeks.

I live in Miami and watched the game into the 4th. Finally had to go to bed. Thought I'd check the score this morning for shits and giggles. They won?? A 7 run 7th?! Bido got the win?! I'm getting punched, right?!?! God, I love this team.

I can live with this loss because it's extremely early still. One thing I did like to see is that I think we've been absent a #2 starter and I think Burke is that guy. He's done a great job.

Schultz can be a #2, or even #1 in time, but at the moment, he's going to need to use the rest of the year to get his control in check and throw his good stuff for strikes. Cease was a mess with walks early too before he straightened it out. I think Schultz will too but it doesn't happen overnight.

For the moment, I think Burke is a solid #2 starter. I don't think he wins more than 10 games, but that's more due to the atrocious offense of this team as well as having the worst bullpen in the AL. With all the flaws of a team that is in 4th place in a weak division, I actually have no issue with anyone in our starting rotation - not even Kay. I consider Kay our 5th starter and if you look at the numbers of 5th starters across the league, Kay lines up with them pretty well.
