Ok, first 10 games are over with, 6-4 is actually better than I thought we would be at this point. But its time to hand out some grades, and see who's performing and who isnt.
Harris- B, hittin around .270 had some clutch hits, I think the more playing time the better for this guy, this could be a breakout year
Valentin- C-, too many strikeouts, and his fielding has been pretty awful so far. He is hitting about .270, not great but better than what we would expect from this guy.
Ordonez- A+, he was the player of the week.
Lee- C+, started off well but needs to get it goin again, couple homers 6 RBI's not bad, I think he'll turn it on
Thomas- C-, he's startin to hit better but still a pretty slow start from his standards, I was gonna rate him higher because of his attitude but now hes moanin about his contract, same old Frank
Konerko- A-, considering his start last year, hes doin awesome
Uribe- B, hitting well, but has had some mental lapses on the paths and in the field
Olivo- A+, I think this guy is finally a major league hitter, and we all know what he's doin behind the plate.
Crede- C, not hitting, but has played a pretty solid thirid
Rowand- C-, kind of dissaspointing after his spring, played a good center, needs to get the lumber goin
Alomar- A-, hittin well so far despite his limited play, solid behind the plate, good veteran to have around.
Bench- C, havent seen the bench guys too much so its hard to get a read, havent been dissaspointed really with Gload, Timo or whoever comes in to Pinch hit/Run.
Starting Pitching- C- all the guys with the exception of Danny Wrong have showed signs of dominance out there, needs to improve though, team ERA is still to high (high 6's I belive)
Relief- C- Its had its moments but with the exception of Kroch, they have pitched pretty well. Even Damaso has pitched well as of late which is a great sign, although the pen has still showed me that this is an area to worry about.
OZZIE- B+, I love the aggresiveness out there, and the clubhouse seems to be smiling a lot more. Sox doin small ball, thats good to see. Basically hes doing everything we hoped he would (so far). Paulie stealing a base, I LOVE IT!
TEAM- B, decent record but could be better if the pitching was more consistant, overall so far Im pretty pleased however.
