| The first month of the season is over, and everything is going fine in Soxland. Their 18-11 record is good for third best in the AL, but unfourtunately for the Sox division rival Toronto has the AL's best record at 20-8. No problems hitting the ball for the Red Sox with their .296 batting average, second behind the Blue Jays .303. Julio Lugo continues to lead the AL in hitting at .394 with Kevin Youkilis and Jacoby Ellsbury also over the .300 mark, and Dustin Pedroia right behind at .298. Youk has been a pleasant surprise with the power in the early going tied for the AL lead in homeruns with 9, and Manny Ramirez right behind with 8 dingers. Still some struggles at the plate for David Ortiz however. He finally got his second homerun of the season on the month's final day, and knocked his average over the .200 mark. Pitchingwise, okay as well with the team ERA 6th in the AL at 3.74. The Blue Jays lead that as well with a 2.90 ERA. Daisuke Matsuzaka leads the AL with 5 wins. Jon Lester, despite the deceiving 1-3 record, has an ERA below 3.00. Mike Timlin, Javier Lopez, David Aardsma and of course Jonathan Papelbon have all been sensational out of the bullpen. Of interest is Tim Wakefield. Wake has the one complete game shutout (3 overall for the team), but the highest ERA on the team for a starter at 6.28. Also nice having a Red Sox team with a little speed on the basepaths with 19 steals for the team so far, including two double steals with Coco Crisp stealing home on one of them. Crisp and Ellsbury lead the team in steals with 7 apiece. |
