Thome 2007: .275/.410/.563
Thome career: .280/.408/.562
1. Thome is less of a concern to me than Konerko, Swisher, and Cabrera. At least Konerko, Thome and Swisher are getting on base.
2. Carlos Quentin is awesome -- 1021 OPS, 174 OPS+, and a nice baserunning move in the 9th yesterday. Offensively, four guys (Quentin, AJ, Dye and Crede) have been great thus far, and five guys (the above four plus Uribe - surprise surprise) have been mediocre/bad.
3. Is Contreras back, or is his success just due to the great, unsustainable HR rate (only 2 allowed in 59-2/3 innings)?
4. More rumblings about interest in Chone Figgins from Joe Cowley, here. I don't know what in the world the Angels would want for him. Alexei Ramirez is starting to hit a little, instead of looking absolutely clueless at the plate, but I'd still like to see him playing every day in AAA.
5. Weird fact: Linebrink and Jenks have almost exactly the same line this year:
19-1/3 innings pitched, 15 hits allowed, 1 HR allowed, 5 walks, 12 Ks
The only difference is that Jenks has allowed one more earned run.
2. Agree.
3. He doesn't look like he's pitching particularly well to me. Also Guillen seems to have little confidence in his ability to get out of even mini-jams.
4. I don't get it either. As for Ramirez, sheesh, are his clothes ever going to stop looking like they're wearing him? He needs to learn how to bunt if he's always gonna have those narrow shoulders.
5. Five walks for Jenks in 19 IP is unusual, but maybe he's sacrificed K's for fewer BB's. Haven't seen him enough to judge whether his stuff is up to previous years' standards.
He's still got that big curve, but his fastball is now in the 94-96 MPH range instead of the 97-99 MPH range. He's definitely sacrificed velocity for location.q
