A quick look at what has gone wrong and what has gone right so far in the early going.
The pitching staff, by and large, has gone wrong. Diego Ramirez and Steve Alonso have been pretty good. Abel Pennington has really struggled. As mentioned earlier, Miguel Solis had 2 disastrous appearances before going on the D.L. Veteran lefty Chris Healy, in his final WPK season, has gotten off to a solid start and has really saved the team's bacon a few times with his relief work. Armando Cruz has struggled, as always, with his control and given up some very damaging homeruns.
But that is really the story of the pitching staff as a whole- too many walks, too many HR's allowed.

As for the offense, the team is hitting quite well but scoring too infrequently. A lack of HR power, as usual, is a big part of the story. But at least Antonio Puente seems to be having a bounce-back year so far and is showing some signs of his old power. Ruben Souffront and Pat Rondeau are off to great starts at the plate. Shortstop Chad Brown is off to a good start with the bat and continues to shine defensively. And Arturo Baca has sparkled with the glove and come up with some key hits and with Tanner Yurek continuing to under-perform Baca is really making a case for himself to be named the starting secondbaseman. (I would frankly love to trade Yurek, but he's a fan favorite and with his under-performance I'm not sure I could get much for him. But the time might be coming, and soon, where it is time to part ways with Yurek.)
Ryan Rodgers, after a great spring training, has an anemic batting average but continues to get on base at a great rate and play gold glove caliber defense and therefore remains valuable. Surely his batting stroke will reappear soon.
Bobby Erbakan is not off to a good start with the bat (.160/.185/.240) but is still considered a gifted hitter and it is thought that he is bound to come out of his slump soon.
