Jorge Posada already has six homers this season. I had written something about him defying the laws of nature with his hitting abilities so far into what should be his decline, but I was then informed that those six home runs account for 2/3 of his hits. As in he has nine hits. As in really, he is sliding down the slippery slope of what is definitely a decline, and he is probably not coming back. Given that, my outlook has changed.
Miguel Cabrera is batting .429 right now. To me, this is an oddity because the man should be falling apart. He should have gone to 60-day rehab but didn't end up doing any because the Tigers are so desperate, so he got no help. He is also verging on obese. How is he having another MVP season? Again, April baseball, but at this point we know Cabrera hitting for average is not a fluke.
On the other hand, the previously hotshot pair of Florida Marlins Dan Uggla and Jorge Cantu are both batting significantly under .200. These guys used to be monsters at the plate.
Not so oddity (and kind of humorous) fact that I just found out: Phil Hughes' absence is due to "arm fatigue". For lack of a better phrase, DUH. The Yankees ruin their pitchers, 'nuff said.
