Venezuela Native Parra is leading the charge for the 2nd place in he NL West D-Backs of 'Zona...as is teammate Goldschmidt as the D-Backs will be in the middle of that NL West Race all season long...

Segura, Gomez, and Aoki handling things with the Lumber for the Brew Crew and now if they could just get some consistent work from the Bump...Brew Crew in Last Place as we go tom press in NL Central...

Pirates Marte has been up and down with A "Cup of Joe in the Show"and now the Coffee is up to par  and he is rakin' for teh Buccos and it is much-needed to add to Pirates Star CF "Cutch-22"

Cincy's Votto is a former NL MVP and he is going to always be in the mix for the Hits and Batting Title as he is one of the best in the Show at both...

Castro is the leader of the north Siders and is still young as he is the future in the NL at Shortstop....the Cubs have them a Gem here now if he can start carrying some leather to the diamond he will be bonafide but it is improving...

Molina is now the Big Hitter in that Line Up with Beltran and Holliday sandwiched in at 3-4....Heck you cam make an argument that Yadier Molina is right under #OrangeOctober Backstop Posey as a Premier Backstop in the Show...

Speaking of Giants one of the more underrated Infielders in the Show in Marco Scutaro as he is handling all the Hitting Chores for the Gigantes as we go tom press...
