Looking around the League after 10 days of the season [View all]

And the biggest story for me is Steven Kwan in Cleveland.

I'm a fan of a National League team so I don't see much AL ball, although I try to keep informed. BUT...

Even if I wasn't trying, it'd be hard to miss this kid's arrival in the bigs

In an era of uppercut swings and taking big cuts no matter the count, this kid is doing a first-rate Tony Gwinn impersonation.

The only swing and miss in his 1st 9 games was a foul tip into the catcher's mitt. So technically it was not a swing and miss, although it counts as his 1st whiff.

Fun player to root for
