2018 so far

It's a young season, but here are the things that have caught my eye. Feel free to argue with me about any of them.

1)Mobile has absolutely snuck up on me and the rest of the Rec Central. At first I expected this team to fall back, but why should they? The have two fantastic starters in Bob Hill and Decker O'Quinn (although you could say the rest of the rotation is overachieving a bit), a decent pen, and an extremely fast offense full of guys that hit the ball hard. Kudos to Logan for quietly putting this team together.

2)What is going on the in Browne Central? GB is doing what GB does, but seems truly vulnerable for the first time in a great while. Age and attrition seem to have caught up to Indy, but they shouldn't be this bad, should they? Finally, what is Iowa doing? Unless I'm completely wrong about pitchers getting rest (and I might be, it's possible that FPS has just decided Iowa can't pitch this year. See what Shannon has to say about that.), Iowa would be better off picking up the worst two guys off the waiver wire and throwing them in the pen rather than running down their very good rotation and what little bullpen they have to the point where the waiver wire might be an improvement.

3) Jackson should not be this good, but I know that Jeff Dalmedo is, so I don't know what to think.

4) Finally, the Browne West is awesome. If Valencia's pitching holds up as the weather gets warm (And park effect is the only reason I'm questioning it), this is a legitimate 3 team (Honolulu, Calgary) race between what may be the 3 best teams in the Browne. Poor Oregon is going to get stuck being a bridesmaid with a very solid, deep team this year.
