10% Down & 90% To Go

[rotoquest]

Ok, so after today there is still a whole lot of baseball to be played, but the start to the season has been unremarkable by some, but brilliant by others. Most performances have fallen in line with preseason expectations, some have gone beyond those expectations, while still others have fallen markedly short. Some notables that are in no particular order:

Pujols is still without a homerun
LA Angels and Boston in last place in their divisions
Jeter playing like a younger version of himself
Ethier’s resurgence
Willingham playing well beyond his ADP
Washington’s supreme SP rotaion
Boston has the worst bullpen in the league and trades for Marlon Byrd

Please post some observations that you feel are notable.

Closers are always impossible to predict but the carnage this year has been absurd.

Kemp can't be stupid enough to be juicing is he? I mean the way he goes oppo is insane strength.

Pretty sure people would have said the exact same thing about Braunto before November, but that is for another thread

This is also the least reliable 10% so I don't put all that much faith into what has happened so far. Another couple weeks and my opinions of players will really start to change.
