Suprises

So the Red Sox/Yankees game was postponed tonight. I think that this could really work in their favor. I'm going to spend tonight focusing a little more on the positives. Due to the day off I think that it could really help giving some of the bullpen a break, along w/ our starter position players who, at the end of the season, most definitely could use the rest. But as for the rest of the league.. some pleasant suprises and maybe overachievers or people who are playing above what was expected of them:

Lance Berkman, STL: played the majority of the season in the outfield a position where most thought he was too old to play. He was also very productive offensively. Although he did miss a few weeks due to injury; he provided the Cardinals with some much needed protection for Albert Pujols to compliment Matt Holiday. He's on pace to finish the season with an average somewhere around .300 with close to 35 home runs and 100 RB1.

Jose Bautista: A year after his enormous breakout and freakish power, many assumed there would be a significant dip in his production this year due to pitchers figuring him out. That has not been the case however as he has kept up his power numbers and actually improved his batting average and obp considerably. With a few games left his numbers are: .303, 42, 101, .447.

Casey Kotchman: has been a pleasant suprise for the the Rays this year. The Rays looked like a team that would be hurting for offense all season long after the suspension/ retirement of Manny Ramirez. He has stepped up big and seems to finally have proved himself as a quality regular with a chance to be a standout player. His numbers as of year are: .309, 10, 48. He was also among the leaders in batting average for most of the year.

Thats just a few for now and will continue to look into some interesting news and reports throughout the league.

See ya
