Biggest surprise

[Cannon Shell]

After 1/3rd of the season Carlos Silva has to be the biggest surprise in baseball

8-0 with a 2.93 era and a 1.06 WHIP? For a bad Cubs team?

No one could have seen this coming.

Jose Bautista and his 18 HR's a close second.

Um...while I didn't think he would start this strong, I am on record with several people that he would have a strong first half, and a bad second half.

A strong first half for Silva would have been 4-3 with a 4.10 ERA and 1.40 WHIP

What he is doing isnt strong, it is close to a miracle

They should consider trading him now while he's at the top.

In theory you are right. but i don't think anyone expects this to last, even Scavs.

Fister in Seattle before he got hurt. He was leading the AL in ERA before his last start, who could have predicted that.

The year before he was decent, he just 'lost it' and his coach couldn't get him out of it. Rothchild is a above average pitching coach, especially with starters. I was completely against this whole Ted Lilly experiment, but ever since he has signed he has been solid.
