4 regulars with OPS of over 1.000 seems like a winning formula. The offense has clearly found its stride and Merera and Sandberg (who was 1 start from being taken out of the rotation) combined to go 9-0 in 11 starts. Bush with a .346 BABIP tells me that while he may have been bad, he wasn't that bad. Guinn's month is a bit worrisome.
