The Perez's have both been pretty shaky lately. Pestano and Sipp have continued to be superb all season long. They have so many good relievers some of them will always be pitching well. They are the biggest reason to maintain hope I think...the pen. Grady did some hitting this series which is nice and I noticed how Manny snuck him into the 6 hole to "regain" his footing!! Good one Manny. He put him there hoping they'd keep winning so he wouldn't have to move Brantley!! Grady's a power hitter now and the 6 hole is where he belongs. Hannahan is a banjo on offense but holy crap he is a vacuum at 3rd. He was a highlight reel this series. They've got lots of nice parts. Cabrera has grown up completely. Santana though struggling mightily is on pace for a gazillion walks. Great approach to hitting even with his struggles is an asset on offense. Choo has yet to get hot this year and they still have the best record in the AL. He's sort of come out of it a little but not really, he will get really hot at some point. They're to the point where they just have to play .500 ball the rest of the way to win 88 games this year. I'm not sure if anyone else in that division will do that.
