Could this be a pitching year? An unusually large crop of young talent (Verlander, E. Santana, Kazmir, Sabathia, Lackey, R. Hill) looks like mature aces or number two starters, some relative question marks coming from injuries/stints in the psych ward/The Far East (Greinke, Pavano, Harden, Lilly, Matsuzaka) are already very promising, and Sowers, Bonser, and F. Hernandez all pitched great in their first starts. Add this to the establishment of Zambrano, Santana, Sheets, Peavey, Carpenter, Halladay, and several others, and the season holds promise for some wonderful offensive impotence.
I'd like it very much if Boston continued to win by an average margin of 3-2, if Kansas City plugged along losing lots of 3-4 games, and if St Louis kept up a one-run-per-game pace. SF, Philly, Houston and Pittsburgh, Oakland, Minnesota, and LAA are producing similar figures in the short sample of the season so far.
