The 2014 MLB campaign is about 10 games into the season. Most of the divisions are still knotted tightly. Most of the teams are where we would expect them to be. A surprising record is the Cincinnati Reds. They are 3-6 to start the year. The Reds are a perennial playoff contender; their slow start does not mean a whole lot right now, but it could if they do not turn it around quick. A slow start to a long season is not always desirable. Teams tend to prefer to be in the lead so they do not have to play catch-up.
Another factor now that we are 10 games in is that a lot of the players statistics are still looking a little odd. The hottest hitter right now is Emilio Bonifacio for the Chicago Cubs. He is batting a solid .500, going 19 for 38. There has also been a power surge in some bats in this young season. The current leaders in home runs are Mark Trumbo (5), now on the Arizona Diamondbacks, and Brandon Belt (5), San Francisco Giants. These statistics are sure to change, and become more accurate, as the season goes on.
This season is sure to have plenty of twists and turns as people become injured. To keep up with the most recent MLB news, check in here every now and again for updates.
