How Many Ways Can This Team Lose?
We may need extra hands and feet to count the ways.
Daniel Bard has the lowest ERA among starters, at 4.38. Clay Buchholz has 16 strikeouts -- and 15 walks. (More stats here.)
They are firmly in the cellar -- seven games behind Tampa, 2.5 behind the Yankees.
Any good news? Middlebrooks, so far. Afredo's five saves are enough to put him on the AL leader board (tied for seventh), and five saves is really pretty good for a team with 11 wins.
I guess we can say it's a better start than last year.
