April Recap


The Dodgers shot out of the gate with a much better than expected record of 15-9. The bad thing, is that it puts them 4 full games behind the Astros, who have a ridiculous team this year. For LA it's been the solid combination of pitching and hitting that has been the good start to the year.


For now, they sit 3rd in the NL in runs scored, AVG, 2nd in OBP, T-6 in HR's and first in SB's. The pitching staff is pretty much the 4th best in the NL. Both among starters and relievers. The team is 2nd in the NL in defense. Those are solid stats and rankings all the way around.

Ozzie Smith is the team's only long term injury right now, and most of the original roster is still playing.


Dave Winfield is the stalwart of the offense, hitting .371 with a team high 4 HR's and 15 RBI's. Frank Tanana has put the best pitching numbers up, with a 4-0 record and 1.74 ERA.


Conversely, Jim Morrison's .174 avg is holding the team back. That's probably why Ken Caminiti has been getting playing time at second base.


The Astros are the best team in baseball with an 18-4 record for the month. They just traded away a couple of prospects to the Blue Jays (who also happen to be in first place) for George Bell. Former Dodger Alejenadro Pena is in the bullpen for them.


The worst team? Not hard. That's the Giants. With a record of 5-19, they are 14 games behind the Astros. They are so bad that the set up man, Brian Harvey, is tied for the team lead in wins (2). Jody Reed leads the team in average, hitting .286.


Ron Kittle is annihilating American League pitching. He leads the AL with 8 HR's and is batting .345. Somehow, the Twins Kirby Puckett, has more total bases than Kittle. The Mets Kevin Mitchell leads the NL with 9 round trippers.


On to May!
