Baseball upside down
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008The Tampa Bay Rays and Arizona Diamondbacks are the two best teams in baseball.
Go figure?
The Indians and Detroit Tigers are fighting to see who can catch the Seattle Mariners as the biggest disappointments of the year.
Go figure?
Victor Martinez has no home runs; Carlos Quentin (who?) leads the AL in home runs.
Go figure?
SI's cover last week called it Bizarro Baseball.
What does this all mean? Well before Bizarro world, it would mean that one of these odd situations would hold on while the rest would fade.
I think it is just talent. The Rays and D'backs have been stockpiling talent for a few years.
Eventually talent wins. And this just might be the year.
