Haren looked exceptional, and Soriano is really fitting in nice as closer.
laroche looked on last night. his double was a laser, and just missed being a HR by maybe 2 ft.
once this offense gets going (last april they were slow, too), they are going to be dangerous. denard span addition makes this line-up insanely dangerous.
also, a plus of laroche's slump - desmond in the 5 spot, where he belongs IMO.
