In a place where one can hardly separate the Morneaus from the Bays from the Longorias and Mauers and Youkilises (Youkili?), I like ‘em [Torii] when they’re in first place, in a premium position, and running into stuff.

After the first couple weeks of April, Scioscia had one reliever he could rely on, give or take a half, and that was Fuentes. Apologies to Seattle’s Russell Branyan, New York’s Mark Teixeira and, like, half the Yankees’ rotation.
