Thoughts:

-Obviously Anuery Rodriguez is off to a smoking start since his promotion to AAA.

-Joe Cruz and Jason McEachern have been the most disappointing starters to date. McEachern's performance is easy to dismiss due to age and an alleged bicep issue. At 21, we will have to keep an eye on Cruz's progession as the year goes on.

-Matt Moore's start looks awfully similar to his start in Bowling Green last year. As he adjusted to the league his walk rate steadily declined as the season went on.

-I'm personally starting to get pretty giddy a bout Wilking Rodriguez. He had a disastrous first inning of the season, but has been quite tight since.

-Frank De Los Santos is a surprise entry, but his extreme ground ball rate as a lefty caught my eye.

-Shane Dyer has strung together a few dynamite starts and worked his way onto this list as well.
