Just wondering how you would rate the individual performances for the players at the break. You can rate the players on a 1-10 scale with 10 being the highest

Prince-Amazing (9)
Weeks-Please learn how to hit (3)
Hardy-The biggest suprise IMO (7)
Braun-Im in awe (11)
Estrada-would like him alot more if he could learn to take a pitch (6)
Hart- improving every day. (8)
Hall-needs to be more consistent (6.5)
Jenkins-Been great for the young guys (7)
Mench- (5)
Counsell- (5)
Graffanino- (5)
Gwynn- (3)
Gross-(2.2)

Sheets-Stay healthy and this guy is a cy young canidate (10)
Capuano- He has to turn it around...doesn't he. (5)
Vargas- Not the best stuff but the crew seems to win when he starts (6)
Bush- Starting to really come around (6.5)
Suppan-god why did we pay him 40 mill (4)
Gallardo- Can't wait till he gets back in the rotation (7.5)
Villanueva-Been our best relief pitcher (8)
Shouse- just cause he's a lefty (5)
Spurling- he sucks (1)
Wise-if he can get to full strength I will be much more comfortable (6)
Turnbow-beside 4 games he has been unhittable (8.5)
Cordero-Best in the business (9.5)

I knew I was forgetting somebody...yeah I agree with the 15 as well maybe 14.5

just a question----is there any chance that Braun will qualify for the batting title at the end of the year???? what are the requrements? cuz if he qualified right now, he would be in first!!!! he is hitting .375 since june 1st...crazy

He would have to play almost every game for the rest of the year and average over 4 AB's a game I believe.

And we know Ned loves to give guys days off so he can plug in inferior players so my guess is no he won't qualify.

The only one I would take issue with is Gabe Gross. I think the 2.2 is a bit generous for Ned's son-in-law.

braun needs 3.1 ab's per team game, something like 502 ab's. he's projected to get 508 i believe
