Early season Splendid Splinters....

It’s May 17 and baseball’s best hitters are Indians OF Casey Blake in the AL and Braves catcher Brian McCann in the NL. A career .263 hitter, Blake is currently hitting a Tony Gwynn-like .366, but will he even be above .300 at season’s end? The 22-year-old McCann meanwhile, is batting at a .349 clip. Where will this highly touted, but unproven prospect level off at?
I’ll put Blake at .277 and McCann at .292 when the season’s final gun sounds, but for now I’ll just enjoy baseball’s early season quirkiness.
