Few quicks to open it
Sox split the first two games in KC and DiceK goes today. People in Japan are getting up at 3am to see that.
Some things over the first few days of a long season...
-JD Drew is like a super Trot Nixon. That swing is sweet. If he stays healthy hes clearly the best hitter outside Ortiz/Manny. He also made an awesome play to track a ball down last night. Hopefully he can handle being heckled by Cowgill in the RF stands when hes in a slump. This guy is good.
-Pedroia is swinging it well over the first couple. Hes a grinder. I wouldnt be surprised if he hits .290.
-King Felix spun a gem on opening day. He might have a Cy Young year. That kids stuff is out of this world. 13K's and not one fly ball. 100 mph with sink is too dirty. Other filthy stuff by Peavy, Cole Hamels, Rich Harden in their first starts.
-Grady Sizemore is already putting balls over the fence. He led the league in extra base hits last year and might have an MVP season in him. Scary thing about Sizemore is that he still doesn't hit lefties well. Watch out when he does.
-Tek bat is slow right now but I'm almost as worried about the arm. Tek only threw out 22% of runners last year. Watch what happens when we try to contain Tampa Bay. That lineup runs and runs, its wild. Crawford, Baldelli, Delmon, Upton, Dukes all have the green light.
