    Good to see Maggi doing so well, esp since he is a SS.

    Too early for me to be getting really excited about Jose Osuna? I had really high hopes for him coming into the season and he has performed above expectations so far. I think the HR numbers will come. That is about the only area I would want to see significant improvement. How has he looked in the field? I understand he is a work in progress at 1B, so any sign of improvement is a plus.
