My 2 cents.....

At the end of BK-2 lets take a look around the NASBL. We will start with the Taste Great Division. 'EAST'

HHA has the best record in the league at 68-35. They are tied with TTB with a .296 team BA. SS Miguel Tejada is leading the league in hitting with a .376ave/26hr/97rbi. HHA is also leading the league in team pitching with a 4.12 era. C.Zambrano leads the league with 13 wins, with R.Oswalt and B.Webb each having 12.

SPR is 60-42 in 2nd place in the East, but has an 8.5 game lead in the Wild Card race. L.Berkman is hitting .354/41hr/82rbi. Rookie Luke Scott .360ba/11hr/43rbi and lead the league in stolen bases with 123 and only being caught 24 times. CC (Rider)Sabathia is 10-3 with a 3.16era. J.Nathan despite a 1-4 record has 26 saves.

LCC is 52-51 and find themselves 8.5 back in the wild card race. Lead by Chipper Jones .350ba/23hr/60rbi and Big Papi .283ba/34hr/74rbi. LCC did make a move acquiring veteran pitcher Curt Schilling to make a last playoff run to beaf up the pitching staff. E.Bedard is 8-7 with a 5.34era. If the LCC bats can get hot they can hit their way back in the race.

ILL is 47-57 and some can say has a big bright smile on the face of management. ILL has made some outstanding moves in the 1st two blocks, not on the field but off. They have made some great trades for young pitching and have acquired two 2008 1st RD picks including having their own for a total of '3'. They did give up some good players in the likes of Josh Johnson and Rich Harden, but come draft day in 2008 ILL will be sitting pretty.
