360 Degrees....

Cubs, Cards, and Reds have the Top Three in ERA Average as the Cubbies Samardzija is a hard luck 0-4 as the Cubbies blew another on of his Gems yesterday versus the Bombers in Wrigley...

Julio Teheran is the leader of that Braves Staff now that Chris Medlen is out for 2014...and the youngster is delivering...

Greinke has taken charge of that Dodgers Staff that is minus the reigning NL Cy Young Winner Clayton Kershaw as the "Greinke-ster" is a true #1 in any rotation and paid like one...

"Huddy" of the Gigantes might be the #5 in that Rotation but the Oldie but Goodie is delivering for the Giants as he was an original A's Farmhand drafted out of the "Plains" Auburn War Eagles...

Sonny Gray has arrived as the former Vandy Star is the #1 Arm in that no-name but big-time Athletics rotation...the best is yet to come from this Kid!

He should be and most likely will be a Pale Hose Jersey Retiree when he is done and Mark Buerhle is the one that the Chi-Sox and the Fighting Fish should have never let go...and Innings Eater, Durable, and .500 or better guaranteed...

Yovani Gallardo is the #1 but the Brew crew's Wily Peralta is right there and is leading them with that rugged ERA as the Brewers are a surprise leader in the NL Central...

With Jose Fernandez down with Tommy John Surgery for 2014 and most of 2015 the Fish still have some Go-Getters on the Bump led by Tom Koehler...

Simon has come out of nowhere as the Red Legs have "Jhonny Be Good" Cueto leading the Rotation as the former Baltimore Oriole Slinger is also 6-2..

Japan's and Texas Rangers Ace Yu Darvish arguably has the best "Stuff" in the Majors as the Rangers now need to put some more quality arms around him on that Rotation and losing Young Star  LHP Martin Perez is a huge blow to Tommy John Surgery...

Mr. Cashner of the Padres like the Cubbies Samardzija has had hard luck with a 2-5 W-L and a solid 2.35 ERA...go figure!

Japan's and Yankees Rookie Sensation Masahiro Tanaka took his 1st loss in two years on Tuesday Night from the Cubs but he has been better than advertised...6-1 W-L with a 2.39 ERA

Scott Kazmir of the A's has resurrected his career as the former Rays Top Prospect has solidified that A's Staff in the back as that Front of that Rotation is Back to Back AL West Champs worthy!
