Loder and Walker are the stars of this team. Loder is mainly a power hitter, but is also putting up a 303 BA and a 435 OBP, which is not at all expected from him. MVP type season. Walker is just a great all around hitter.
The two very nice surprises right now are CF Cox and SS Banks. First Ernie Banks. He is finally growing into the player we had hoped for when he was chosen as the clone. Cox had a terrible year last year, but he had a ton of potential and he is finally starting to cash in on that.
Schmitt has picked it up nicely from last year's disaster.
Out of our regular starters, only 2B Francisco Soriano is a big concern right now. At least he rarely strikes out.
