We won our first 7 games and sit 10-3 after the first 2 weeks of the season. Everything is working, we lead the lead in OBP and are 2nd in home runs and we are 2nd in ERA. The team is healthy, now that Drago came off the IL after 10 games.
New additions are playing well, Rusco is .308/.382 in the leadoff spot and playing great defense. Carlton is 2-0 after 2 starts as is Odom after moving him from closer.
I am little concerned about Eddie Murray. He had a herniated disk in his back 3 years ago and he has suffered 3 different day-to-day back spams since then, the most recent being after 3 games this year. I typically don't sit players who are moderately injured, I may have them take more days off, but I will still play them 50-75% of the time. But I think if I do that with Murray, the game is telling me, "DON'T". Keeping Roy Howell has made that decision easier, he hit 20 HR's last season.
