Look at the bright side, any fears that fan-favorite Lucio Martinez may be on the decline seemed to have been sent to bed. If there is anyone on the team that embodies that Colonel's spirit, it's him. (I don't have a man crush on him at all...
).
I seem to recall some slowish starts in the past, and I think it's way too early to make any emergency purchases (we can reassess that comment as we near the all-star break). How is the bullpen holding up these year? With pitchers like Wilson struggling (make sure he isn't having beer and fried chicken parties on his off nights, that could be his problem), the relievers are getting more innings than they were this time last year, and I'm curious as to their quality.
