Están en Fuego

It's a little over a month into the season and there are several players throughout major league baseball who have ridiculous starts to the season but somehow someway are flying under the radar.

I AM HITTING .425

My name is Chipper Jones, I am a Hall of Fame baseball player. I am not often healthy but when I do play a lot of games I always rake. I currently am leading major league baseball in batting average, by a lot.

I AM A CATCHER WITH AN OPS OF 1.115

My name is Geovany Soto. Do you even know what team I play for? I am a rookie on the Cubs. I am only 25 years old and currently I am 4th in the league in On Base % and Slugging Percentage and 3rd in OPS. I am currently on a 7 game hitting streak in which 4 of the games were multi hit games.

I AM LEADING THE NL IN RBIs

My name is Lance Berkman. I should have been the NL MVP two years ago, and after an off season last year I am back. I have 10 home runs which puts me 2nd in major league baseball behind Chase Utley. I have have several stolen bases.

WE'RE RAKING IN THE STEEL CITY

Our names are Xavier Nady and Nate McLouth, our team sucks but don't blame us. I, Xavier, am second in the National League in RBI with 30 and 6th in batting average at .346 and I, Nate, am 9th in major league baseball in OPS and 4th in runs scored.

WE'RE 12 AND 0

Our names are Joe Saunders and Ervin Santana, we're teammates. In years past we were battling each other for the 5th spot in the rotation, in reality if both Lackey and Escobar were healthy this season one of us currently wouldn't be pitching. But we are and we haven't lost yet.

I AM LEADING THE NL IN ERA

My name is Edinson Volquez, you may remember me from spring training as the other Reds young starting pitcher. Well, while everyone was praising my teammate Johnny Cueto as the 2nd coming of Pedro Martinez I have gone out and posted a 1.27 ERA. Has anybody noticed me yet? Sure, doesn't seem like it.

I HAVE MORE SAVES THAN TEAMS HAVE WINS

My name is Francisco Rodriguez, I have been a beast for a long time in the bullpen. I'm pretty much unhittable, but after a month I have 13 saves. Three NL teams only have 12 wins and two other teams including the Rangers only have 13 wins.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
