2011 All Star Break

TEAM — 40-50, 15.5 games behind the Toronto Blue Jays in the division, 7.5 games behind the New York Yankees in the Wild Card

Danny Haren, RHP — Haren has struggled thus far, going 6-8 with a 4.71 ERA in 18 starts. He is on pace to go 11-14 in 32 starts, striking out 124 in 210 innings. Haren went 13-5 with a 3.67 ERA last season, 17-4 with a 3.22 ERA the year prior, and 21-5 with a 2.48 ERA in 2008.

William Burgess, RHP — Claimed off waivers on April 29, Burgess has gone 7-2 with a 2.25 ERA in 10 games, including eight starts. Counting his stats with the Pittsburgh Pirates this year, Burgess is on pace to go 16-5 with a 2.51 ERA in 25 games, 22 starts.

Jon Lester, LHP — Lester has been a big disappointment after going 12-9 with a 4.74 ERA last season and 10-7 with a 4.53 ERA in 2009. He is 4-8 with a hefty 6.62 ERA in 18 starts this year, on pace to go 7-14.

Burke Badenhop, RHP — Recently added to the starting rotation, the 28-year-old rookie (he pitched 21 innings last season, going 1-2 with a 4.29 ERA) is 1-4 with a 4.71 ERA in 42 innings over 16 appearances, including two starts.

Pedro Martinez, RHP — The 39-year-old has been inconsistent with a handful of terrible starts and a couple of solid ones. Overall, he has a 4-6 record with a bloated 6.29 ERA in 13 starts. He is currently on the disabled list with a knee injury.

Carl Sadler, LHP — Sadler was just acquired and has only thrown 4 1/3 innings — though he has not allowed a run, hit or walk — out of the bullpen so far for Tampa Bay. In 37 games with San Diego, he went 2-1 with a 2.78 ERA. He is on pace to go 4-2 with a 2.52 ERA in 72 outings.

Craig Breslow, LHP — Breslow has been his usual self. He is 3-3 with a pair of saves and a 3.29 ERA in 41 innings out of the bullpen.

David Price, LHP — Price has not been as effective as last year (3-2, 2 saves, 2.87 ERA) but has been adequate for the Devil Rays bullpen. In 33 1/3 innings this year, he is 2-2 with two saves and a 3.51 ERA.

Akinori Otsuka, RHP — The 39-year-old reliever has been as advertised, and even better than last year with Texas (3-3, 4.91 ERA, 88 IP) ... at least so far. In 54 2/3 innings this year, Ostuka is 1-2 with a 4.12 ERA.

Manny Delcarmen, RHP — Though he missed a short amount of time with a back injury, Manny Delcarmen has performed well in his first year as closer. He is 1-2 with 14 saves and a 1.25 ERA in 22 games. A free agent at the end of the year, he is on pace to go 2-4 with 25 saves in 40 appearances.

Ed Hughes, RHP — Hughes is back in AAA after a disappointing start. In 8 starts with Tampa Bay, Hughes went 3-3 with a 6.39 ERA after going 5-3 with a 4.61 ERA in 19 games, three starts, with the Devil Rays last year. He has gone 3-2 with a 1.38 ERA since going back to AAA.

Adrian Gonzalez, 1B/DH — Gonzalez was just acquired in the Matt Holliday deal and is off to a slow start with Tampa Bay. He is just 5-for-28 (.179) with one home run and three RBI in seven games since the trade. He is on pace to hit .272 with 36 home runs and 108 RBI with 117 runs scored.

Aubrey Huff, 3B/1B — Huff is on pace to perform much in the way he did last year when he hit .262 with 23 homers and 90 RBI in 128 games. In 85 games this year, he's hitting .266 with 13 homers and 59 RBI, putting him on a pace to hit 23 homers and 106 RBI.

Marco Scutaro, SS — The 35-year-old has not met expectations this year, hitting .258 with six home runs, 36 RBI, and 28 runs. He is on pace to hit 11 homers and 65 RBI — which would be good for him — but is below par on his contact hitting.

Lastings Milledge, OF — He'sbeen banged up with calf and finger injuries, but Milledge has been a disappointment with a .239 average, but he has hit nine homers and 34 RBI, putting him on pace for 16 homers and 61 RBI in 131 games.

Emilio Bonifacio, 2B — Like many of his teammates, the batting average and contact hitting just isn't there for Bonifacio this year. In 73 games, he's hitting .237 with five home runs, 22 RBI, and 31 runs scored — on a pace for nine homers and 40 RBI in 131 games after hitting .278 with 11 homers and 76 RBI in 141 games last year.

John Meyers, OF — Meyers has not shown the ability he is projected to have thus far. He's hitting .200 with five homers, 15 RBI, 41 runs, and nine stolen bases in 76 games. Meyers is on pace for nine homers and 27 RBI but with 74 runs scored.

Carlos Quentin, OF — Like Gonzalez, the recently-acquired Quentin is off to a slow start in Tampa Bay. Quentin is 3-for-15 with the Devil Rays but is on pace to hit .256 with 25 homers and 65 RBI in 113 games.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia, C — The Devil Rays have used a catching platoon this year with both parts performing similarly well. Saltalamacchia is hitting .246 with six home run and 31 RBI in 65 games, on pace to club 11 homers and drive in 56 runs over 117 games.

Gerald Laird, C — Laird is hitting .248 with four homers and 21 RBI in 61 games, on pace to hit seven homers and 108 RBI in 283 at bats over 110 games.

Nomar Garciaparra, 3B/1B/SS — In his second stint with Tampa Bay, Nomar appears to be at the end of the road. He's hitting .230 with no home runs, 15 RBI, and 14 runs scored in 152 at bats over 62 games. He's on pace to drive in 27 runs and score 25 times in 274 at bats.

Mark DeRosa, 3B/OF — After starting the year in AAA, DeRosa is with the big club and hitting .291 with four home runs and 23 RBI in 51 games. He's on pace to hit seven homers and 41 RBI in 92 games.

Josh Hamilton, OF — Hamilton has been limited to 33 games due to a fractured jaw, but has been productive while in the lineup: .328, nine homers, 23 RBI, 29 runs, 10 steals. He hit .308 with 29 homers and 107 RBI last season.

Rick Ankiel, OF/1B/LHP — Ankiel has been better as a pitcher (two hits, two walks, no runs, eight strikeouts in seven innings) than he has been as a hitter (.178, one homer, four RBI, 73 at bats) this year.

Ben Francisco, OF — Out for the year with a neck injury, Francisco went 0-for-9 before being lost for the year in the third game of the season.

Cliff Pennington, 2B/SS — Rookie of the Year just two seasons ago, Pennington was just designated for assignment. He's hit .144 with one homer and six RBI in 104 at bats this year off the bench. Limited in play with a couple nagging issues last year, Pennington hit .271 with five homers and 47 RBI in 118 games last year after hitting .261 with 16 homers and 72 RBI as a rookie in 2009.
