A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report #11...the SHOW Leaders from 60 FEET 6 INCHES..Wins, ERA, IP, and K's combined...Looking and Swinging

The Show leaders a month into the Season when most pitchers have at least 5-6 starts under their belt. Are the Fightin' Phils Rotation led by Doc Halladay and Cliff Lee holding the Rotation down and the NL East? The Carmines have Lester and Mr. Chicken and Suds himself in Beckett are they getting it done in Fenway? What about all that Dinero the Rangers put out there for their most prized possession ever in Free Agency in Yu Darvish...has he been worth the Price?

Now having said all that we should see some familiar names right out the gate from 60' 6". Are both Cy Young Winners from 2011 doing what they are suppose to be doing to show that last season was no fluke? They have Grade A #1 Stuff to lead any rotation in the Tigers Verlander and the Dodgers Kershaw?

The Show Leaders from the Mound....60' 6"...in W's, ERA, IP (Innings Pitched), and K's (looking/swinging) sponsored by Every Team in the Show has a #1 but is he performing up to Standards or does the BLUEDUDE have to motion to the Pen?

NOTE: Stats from MLB.com

The Usual Suspects are at the Top as Kid Felix near the Space Needle for the M's is at his usual dominant self. Jared Weaver of the Halos can't fault him for the LAA slow start as he is holding his staff down.

The Rangers High-Priced Import Yuuuuuuuu Darvish is showing the Show that he is worth the Price of Admission and then some.....Top 10 in 2 categories including #3 on the K List with 44.

Then last but not least Rays Skip Joe Maddon has not 1 Ace he is playing but 2 Aces in David Price and James Shields...take that Junior Circuit and AL East but they will miss 3B Evan Longoria.
