...debut in the minor leagues. When he bought a luxury bus for his team to travel in, critics carped that the whole endeavor was a vanity project. Yet the Birmingham Barons' rightfielder finished the season as one of just six players in AA ball to get 50 or more RBIs and steal 30 bases, proving he can do what he said he was there to do: play...
Half a dozen players, from Seattle's Ken Griffey Jr. to San Francisco's Matt Williams, are on track to hit more than 50 home runs; nobody's done that since 1977. Houston's Jeff Bagwell had 104 RBIs in his first 103 games and could be the first to average one RBI a game since 1949. And in this year when pitchers are surrendering more than five runs a game, Gregg Maddux's stingy 1.69 earned-run average for Atlanta could be one of the great feats in the sport's history.

(Colorado first baseman Andres Galarraga also bettered that mark, with 30 April RBIs.)

...live bat, a great arm, terrific range. Cedeno, now 24, has matured, and it shows. Through Sunday he was hitting .329 with five homers. . . . One of the best free-agent signings of the off-season was White Sox DH Julio Franco, who has been hitting cleanup. He had 24 RBIs through Sunday and had made it tough for pitchers to work around No. 3 hitter Frank Thomas. . . . Sadly but mercifully, it appears that the career of pitcher Dave Righetti, 35, is over. He was released by the A's on April 27 after amassing a 16.71 ERA in seven appearances...
