Pierzynski

maine Dye is leading our everyday players with a more than respectable .297 average, followed by AJ Pierzynski with .290.  Boith of them were hitting over .300 not three days ago.  Carlos Qunetin has been starting to slip the last couple days, so he's down to .288, though he still leads our team with 12 HR and 40 RBI.  He's currently tied for most homers in the AL with Rangers OF Josh Hamilton.
