Players off of my teams that I'd like to nominate: C-McCann. Didn't see this kind of start coming...neither did McCann. 2B-Mike Avilies. How does KC seem to come up with guys who define sophmore slump? SS-Peralta. Starting to heat up some, but no power, no hit is no way to please. 3B-A Rod. Out all year and comes back hitting like its October. I know its way early to judge, but still frustrating. OF-Abreu. Numbers only a waiver wire could love. OF-Josh Hamilton. Making me feel like I was on crack for taking this guy. OF-Maggs. Starting to swing better, but power numbers starting to match speed. And that's bad since Maggs runs like a drunken Sumo wrestler. SP-Liriano. Seems to have gotten pitching advice from Dontrelle 'BB-Train' Willis. SP-Ricky Nolasco. Seems like the ace of the staff last year is the only Marlin who can't pitch. RP-Marmol. Marmutt has been a disaster, and my league counts holds. Too bad it doesn't count sucks.
I guess I have to re-learn not to buy last year's numbers too much. grrr.

I think it's too early to have Valverde on here...he pitched injured and then wound up on the DL, still think he'll have a decent year once he returns...the guy does have the most Saves in the NL over the L2/3 years.
I hope you're right because with him on the DL, my current 1-2 punch is Morrow and Capps....

At least Hamilton is hitting bombs since coming off the dl
c: Soto 1b: Berkman 2b: Uggla 3b: Atkins ss: Rollins (Alexei?) of: too many to choose...Manny, Quentin, Holliday, Vlad, Upton, Maggs
Can I just use Alexei as my utility guy?
Too many pitchers to name. Though I'd like to single out Baker and Slowey for their stellar contributions to my craptacular rate stats across almost all my teams. And Matt Capps. Thanks a million (ie, your era), big guy.

Abreu has been gold for me so far (as of late, iffy, but season long so far me likes). His SBs have saved one team (almost accidently punted steals) and kept another within striking distance, with Alexei and Phillips stinking it up (speed-wise).
