"Vintage Lester dominates Orioles" read the headline after Sunday's 2-1 Red Sox victory over Baltimore.  While headlines are known for hyperbole, by definition, Jon Lester's third and best start of 2009 was vintage.

When the Mets drafted Phil Humber back in 2004, I was thrilled. Even though my baseball knowledge was still in a prehistoric state, I had read enough about Humber to get excited about the prospects of the Mets drafting him.

Dustin Pedroia, you say you are experiencing cold-like symptoms? 

Boom!  15-day DL.

Jason Varitek, you say that you don't feel quite like you did when were 31 years old?

See ya!  15-day DL. 

So, they aren't that careful with their personnel. 

But, they are very careful indeed.

And one reason they can do that is because they currently have as much depth as any organization. 

If Drew, Ellsbury, or Bay go down for a short period of time, Rocco can take over.

Good news:  The Brewers' fourth starter, Braden Looper, is looking good so far this season.  Milwaukee won both games he started, and he's got nine strikeouts in 11 innings pitched.

Bad news:  The Brewers' first, second, and third starters, aren't looking so hot.  In a 7-6 loss to the Reds, Yovani Gallardo earned every Cincinnati run.  Jeff Suppan's ERA is a shade under 13 in seven innings pitched.  Manny Parra has been mediocre also, allowing eight runs in his first two starts.

Perez can be one of the best in baseball when his game is good.
