Analysis, AL East

The Syracuse Sycamores find themselves in first place at the moment. Will they stay in first will be the question. Hitting is really the only thing going for them. Pitching is not great. Fielding is very inept.

The Boston Red Sox find themselves currently in 2nd Place, struggling. Defense is very solid. Hitting is good. Pitching for some reason is getting eaten alive. It may not be the greatest pitching staff but just not living up to expectations. Look for them to be in it at the end. Could it be the schedule?

The Dover Dung Beetles are in third place and struggling also. Pitching is better than stats show. Fielding is strong. Hitting is good but very inconsistent. Biggest issue is at starting catcher. Can't stop running teams and the starting staff is suffering.

The Washington D.C. Senators once again find themselves looking up at everyone else. Defense hurts as the stats show. Hitting is not helping. Pitching at home should be better than it is but without support things run down hill fast. This is a place one must understand the park. Defense needs lots of range and glove. It isn't a home run park so power is not of the essence at home but everything else needs to be high and speed helps.
