Back to Back Candidates

Josh Hamilton and Milton Bradley hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning as Texas takes a 4-0 lead on the Indians. While most are talking about Josh Hamilton for MVP, Milton Bradley is playing extremely well, too. Bradley actually has a higher OPS than Hamilton.

Can someone explain to me again why the Reds' traded Hamilton after going to so much trouble to keep him with the Rule 5 deal?

So they could have a place for Griffey, Dunn and Corey Patterson.

Of course, those four runs proved inadequate for the motley collection known as the Rangers pitching staff. They coughed up seven runs to a Cleveland team that wasn't hitting diddly (not Bo, R.I.P).

Fortunately, Bradley and Hamilton and the rest kept putting up points. If the Rangers only had average pitching, they'd win the division easy. The offense is twenty runs ahead of the second-best in the AL, and more than fifty ahead of the third-best.

In fact, during May when the team did get average pitching - 3.90 staff ERA vs. the AL average 3.89 - they went 19-10.
