I know it's early, but...

Gil Meche is kicking some serious ass! Here's the numbers so far:

Record: 3 - 1
ERA: 2.23
IP: 48.1
H: 47
R: 18
ER: 12
HR: 5
BB: 10
SO: 35

If he keeps this up then we're sitting pretty with a steal at $55 million. That's gotta be better than most of the free-agent pitchers picked up this off-season, if not all.
Let's hope he can keep it up.

Oh, and is anyone else getting excited about this bullpen. Hear me out. Duckworth has been lights out - last 4 outings: 6 IP, 4 hits, no runs... all games were won by the Royals. And, Soria... 5 saves, and the dude is not afraid of anyone... he strikes people out like a mother too. Just think, we get Dotel back that pushes Duckworth and Soria earlier in the ballgame and suddenly we've got a more stable bullpen... a pretty deep bullpen. It should help the other guys find their groove too.

And our offense has gotta come around at some point... it's only a matter of time before we play spoiler to a lot of good ball clubs out there!
