You forgot to mention that Danks and Floyd have really exceeded expectations thus far. A combined 4-3 with a 3.08 ERA. I'll take that kind of performance from the back end of the rotation every time. Contreras is looking better this year, too.

Thome, for all his struggles, is still posting an .855 OPS. Konerko's started worse (cough2005cough), I'm not too worried about him.

I'm looking at you, Juan Uribe.

It was
