The Other Kole That Switched Teams

I mean, this doesn't look as strange because he's still in red, but Kole Calhoun in Phoenix is still slightly odd.

Kole Calhoun is not playing the best out of the new Diamondbacks [that would be Starling Marte], but he does have the team's sole home run to date. Think about that. Marte, Ketel Marte, Jake Lamb, David Peralta, Christian Walker and Stephen Vogt are on this team, and none of them have hit any home runs, but Kole Calhoun has. And also, that homer is his only RBI.

I also find it funny that Calhoun played his first few years with C.J. Cron, and now he's playing with C.J's brother Kevin, who's fit into a similar role in this team. That's kinda cool. CJ's currently kicking ass in Detroit while Kevin has yet to have a hit.

The D-Backs, as effete as they've been in terms of power, aren't a bad team this year, and while it's unfortunate that Madison Bumgarner has yet to garner any run support, he's still not pitching  too badly, and is still striking people out. Through  a week, Merrill Kelly is probably the best starter, followed closely  by Zac Gallen, and the bullpen is looking pretty sharp. But it's gonna take some full lineup developments for this team to make an impact on the NL West this year, especially with the Dodgers, Rockies and Padres doing well.

Coming Tonight: One of the many people in Tampa absolutely kicking ass right now.
