Impressions of the first week

Here are my thoughts on the first week of baseball in the 2010 season.

- Nelson Cruz looks like the real deal, hitting four home runs. If he plays at an all star level all season, we may see Texas in the playoffs.

- Vernon Wells has fully embraced the idea that the Blue Jays are His team as he also has 4 home runs in the first week.

- Big time sluggers continue where they left off last season as Ryan Howard and Albert Pujols both have 3 home runs.

- Great starts by Magglio Ordonez and Miguel Cabrera led the team to a 5-1 start, with Ordonez batting .476 and Cabrera batting .450.

- Closers already in trouble after Frank Francisco and Mike Gonzalez may have lost their jobs already. Jon Rauch of the Twins, has stepped up in Joe Nathan's place, already recording four saves.
