1. Doesn't Michael Brantley's swing remind you a little of David Justice's? I don't have any comparison videos to post, but to me, it looks very similar. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't develop some power as he matures.
2. David Huff may wind up being the staff ace, if he keeps pitching as well as he has so far. He had outstanding control and was very efficient this afternoon. He worked so quickly the game took only slightly more than two hours.
3. On opening day, Chris Perez got booed by the fans during pre-game introductions. I have a feeling he's going to have a tough time winning them over.
4. It brought tears to my eyes to see Bob Feller throw out the ceremonial first pitch to Sandy Alomar on Opening Day. Feller threw from the mound. One of the people sitting behind me seemed surprised that, at age 90, Feller would still throw the full distance. Obviously, he didn't know too much about Bob Feller.
5. I'd really like to see the Indians get rid of Jhonny Peralta and let Andy Marte play third. In this afternoon's game, Marte hit the ball hard and played aggressively on defense. Peralta always just looks bored.
6. Matt Underwood has really improved as an announcer since is first couple of seasons. He does a good job to describing the game without even really letting you know he's there.

Your comments are right on the mark, except about Johnny Peralta.
He hasn't really started out all that good though.
