I would say the top storyline continues to be Joe Morgan's insane start to the year. He has a slash line of .483/.603/.862. His continued luck with the Fast Action Cards is unprecedented. Joe only played about two-thirds of the games in 1984, so I've rested him against every left handed starter. That might explain a small bump in his stats, but not all of it. The month of May will help determine if Joe is for real, or a benefactor of smaller sample sizes.
Other Guys Besides Joe Morgan Who Are Playing Way Over Their Heads:
Mike Young, OF, Orioles
Wayne Krenchicki, 3B, Reds
Steve Kemp, OF, Yankees
Greg Minton, P, Giants
Terry Puhl, OF, Astros
Tony Fernandez, SS, Blue Jays

I'm An Awesome Manager Of...
The Houston Astros. I've got them well in the lead in the NL West with a great combination of platoons and relief pitching.
I'm A Terrible Manager Of...
The Texas Rangers. They're a better team than their record reflects. Not sure why they're struggling so much, though they have had a fair share of injuries.
Looking Forward
I'm guessing it will be three to four years before I finish May. Life is much busier than when I first started this endeavor. Thanks to all of you who stop by from time to time! The games are still fun and I'll keep plugging along.
