Ian Browne has a good wrap-up.

Josh Beckett (1.29, 376 ERA+) / Dustin Moseley (4.50, 103 ERA+)

Jason Bay says he's surprised at how well he is hitting:

I think I probably doubled my April stats from every other April. I usually stink for whatever reason. Maybe it was the longer Spring Training [this year], but once again, we're only five games in. I wouldn't write my ticket to the April Hall of Fame just yet. It's been nice to get off to a good start. Historically, it hasn't been that good for me.

He's done better in March/April than he thinks he has:

       PA  HR   AVG   OBP   SLG
2005   97   2  .292  .351  .472 
2006  110   5  .277  .445  .494 
2007  105   4  .280  .362  .495 
2008  117   6  .253  .385  .453 
2009   20   2  .333  .500  .933 
Total          .277  .392  .496 
  
Career         .282  .376  .518

More power in a small sample -- 1 single, 1 double, 1 triple, 2 home runs -- but not much difference at all. I assume that his numbers for the entire month will be pretty much in line with his career norms, which are good.
