Anyways, count your blessings bro. Brewers gave your team an extremely team-friendly contract and quality player in Norichika Aoki

In that regard, you are correct my friend...

...Aoki is fuccing awesome.  Two weeks into the season and I already love this guy.  Seeing his height and stance for the first time, it's so easy for him to get a walk.  And he knows how to slap a ball with two strikes or pound it into the ground for a single, he's a tough out, and he's not going to strike out.  He's already been the difference in 2 or 3 games for us, making big plays in the field and setting the table for the middle of the order.

(But by the way, Don't Sleep on Will Smith, he has been very solid so far this year in his own right pitching for the Brewers)

You can make an argument that other players have been as good or better, but you can't deny that Banafacio is at the top of the conversation for best start to the season so far. 

By the way... Royals are on the uprise!! They may be .500 now, but keep in mind they started the season against two of the last three Cy Young winners in Detroit, and also had to play a series against Tampa who are the favorite to win the world series.  Now they get a stretch with teams like that Twins and Astros, they are on the uprise!!

Lol, having the highest OPS makes you the best player in the league? The season just started like a week or so ago, the "best player in the league so far" doesn't mean shit. And yes, Bonifacio has had a hot start, but guess what, it won't continue. It happens every year. Somebody has a hot first week or hot first month and then completely falls off shortly afterwards. Bonifacio will not continue producing at this rate, he'll eventually fall off and you can finally stop bitching about how the Royals should have never cut him.

And Tampa Bay is not a favorite to win the World Series. They have pitching depth for days (although that's being tested right now with injuries to Moore and Hellickson) but their offense is Longoria, Myers, Zobrist and a cast of characters. Any of the potential NL-penant winners like the Cardinals, Reds, Pirates, Braves, Diamondbacks and Dodgers could wipe them out.

And no, the Royals aren't going anywhere but the local church to pray that all of the Tigers players get hurt or have down years. They just don't have the talent that the Tigers have and their margin for error is much smaller than Detroit's. Hell, even the Indians are a much better team than the Royals.

Halu Sination:
^ Agreed. I don't even have Tampa as the favorite coming out of the AL. Detroit should have the AL on lock.

Hack Wilson - real:
Pineda for Cy Young

Halu Sination:
Oh and just a FYI, he doesn't have the best OPS in baseball. It's impressive as hell of course, but it's still not even close to Chase Utley's 1.369.

1.   Utley (PHI)   1.369
2.   Hamilton (LAA)   1.286
3.   Gonzalez (COL)   1.228
4.   Freeman (ATL)   1.219
5.   Perez (KCR)   1.219
6.   Tulowitzki (COL)   1.189
7.   Blackmon (COL)   1.178
8.   Cuddyer (COL)   1.176
9.   Kubel (MIN)   **1.212
10.   Bautista (TOR)   1.162

Those are the top 10 OPS currently.
