Hot Performers

As the season develops and the players start to get in real shape the real leaders are starting to show and protrude from the pack. What I mean is that the players, who for me are the best in the MLB, are starting or had already gotten where they should be. I’m going to talk about the pitchers, who I honestly don’t talk very much about. Brandon Webb a young boy which has 28 years is the sole leader in the whole MLB in games won with 4 games won. Is no surprise, since he was the starting pitcher with most games won last season, winning 18 games with the Diamondbacks? If he continues to pitch the games as he is pitching right now throughout the whole season, my prediction is that that he will end up with 17-19 wins and 7-11 looses. Barry Zito, the pitcher with most looses in the MLB with 4 games lost. Ironically the pitcher with most looses is in the team with the 2nd worst record which are the San Francisco Giants, with a record of 5 games won and 11 lost. Maybe is just a bad start for this veteran that in 2003 had 23 wins and just 5 looses or maybe he is being affected by not a useless offense but a offense that is asleep, an offense that has not found rhythm yet, but sooner or later they will find it and when that happens, San Francisco will be a team which would not be good to be taken lightly.  First I’m going to tell you what the stat ERA means. ERA means earned runs average, which means you multiply the numbers of runs the batters made the pitcher by 9 and then divide the solution by the number of innings the pitcher played. A pitcher with an ERA of 0.00 means that he allowed no runs during the time he was in the mound and a pitcher with an ERA of maybe 10.00 means he allowed an average of 10 runs during the time he was in the mound. The player with worst ERA in the MLB is C.C. Sabathia from the Cleveland Indians. Is a little odd, since Sabathia was the pitcher which the Indians could rely on and was a key player for the Indians last year by helping them getting to the post season. C.C Sabthia is not old but he is pitching like he was old. I bet that when he plays more game and gets in shape, maybe he would not be an incredible pitcher, but a better one than he is right now.
