An Odd Week

The Atlanta Braves have the best winning percentage in baseball (5-1), even though they've allowed as many runs (25) as they've scored (25).

The Seattle Mariners and Cleveland Indians have had more games postponed (5) than they've played (3).

The Japanese guy everybody forgot about on draft day (Tampa Bay's Akinori Iwamura) is leading the big leagues in batting average (.529), although in 9 AB's Cleveland's Trot Nixon is slightly higher (.556).

Arizona's Chris Young is leading the National League in RBI (9) despite a .191 average, and just 5 hits.

Albert Pujols is hitting .136 and started off 1-17.

Brandon Inge is 0-17 with 3 walks.

The Chicago White Sox have three starters (Jermaine Dye, Jim Thome, A.J. Pierzynski) all hitting under .120.

In 5 games, the New York Yankees have not had a starter last more than 5 innings.

Salomon Torres leads baseball with 4 saves.

The San Francisco Giants have scored 13 runs in 6 games, while in half as many games, the Cleveland Indians have already scored 23.

Miguel Tejada and Derek Jeter each have 3 errors.

I can't wait for week two!
