Random Observations
by scott longert on 04/18/16After two weeks of regular season play, the Indians record is 5-5. So far that is a good April for them. I am looking forward to the return of Michael Brantley as soon as possible. Someone has to go when he comes back. It could be a pitcher or possibly Marlon Byrd or Colin Cowgill. The Tribe needs Brantley's bat to go along with Jason Kipnis and Francisco Lindor. The other guys are not showing much at this point
The Mets took two out of three against Cleveland over the past weekend. They showed a good combination of hitting and pitching. No doubt they will be a major factor especially when Harvey gets back on track.
The Cardinals somehow manage to still compete despite the loss of Heyward and a slow start from Adam Wainwright. I like their outfield a lot and Matt Holliday looks like he can still do the job well. Don't count them out of it by any means.
Of all the great pitchers, Chris Sale looks outstanding. I think the White Sox might give the Royals a challenge. I m not sure about the Tigers, but Kansas City and Chicago look very tough.
I am going on the fifteen -day DL with knee surgery Tuesday morning. There is a chance it will be moved to the sixty- day DL. I hope to be back to the blog lineup as soon as possible. The doctors tell me it is not a career ending injury.
