Brandon Beachy
Brandon Beachy is one of the best young pitchers in the game today. He is currently 25 years old with room to grow. The Atlanta Braves star shut out the Miami Marlins last night by himself. The final score was 7 - 0. He only allowed five hits and gave up no walks. He has the lowest ERA in the major leagues among qualifying pitchers. It currently stands at 1.33. He has seven quality starts in the eight starts that he has made thus far. The only reason why he doesn't have eight is because he pitched five innings in his first start of the season. A pitcher needs to throw six innings to qualify.

Mets Are Undefeated!
That's right, my New York Mets are undefeated four games through the season!
Fun Fact:
New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers: 7 - 1
Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies: 3 - 9
They moved the fences in at Citi Field and its their pitching that is winning them ball games. Here are the scores of their games:
vs. Atlanta: 1 - 0
vs. Atlanta: 4 - 2
vs. Atlanta: 7 - 5
vs. Washington: 4 - 3
Even in the game that was 7 - 5, Jonathon Niese took a no-hitter into the seventh inning. Mike Pelfrey pitched decently well last night in their win over the Nationals. He was bending, but he never broke. He allowed 10 hits and walked only one batter. That turns out to be a WHIP of 1.94, which is a very high WHIP. Daniel Murphy, whose defense was being questioned, made a great diving play right behind second base to prevent the Nationals from scoring late in the game. He then came up and delivered the game winning hit, a line drive into right field. Mets fans left Citi Field chanting, "Undefeated! Undefeated!" showing that people are still excited about this team, which is what is needed after years of not being competitive.

201 - 250
http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7728604/ranking-top-500-major-league-baseball-players-2012-nos-201-250
Just a continuation of ESPN's list of the top 500 players in the major leagues today. What are the odds? There are three Toronto Blue Jay players in a right. Francisco Cordero comes in at 201, Colby Rasmus comes in at 202, and then Yunel Escobar comes in at 203. Young prospect Brandon Beachy of the Atlanta Braves is two spots ahead of Johan Santana who is recovering from surgery to repair a torn anterior capsule in his shoulder. Good luck trying to explain this one to me. Yoenis Cespedes is ranked at 223 when he hasn't even played a single inning in the big leagues. That is ridiculous. So therefore, we will end today on that note. You have seen my view on today's list. Feel free to let me hear your point of view.
