The topic is a little confusing. You placed guys in two categories but didn't say whether you had predicted whether or not you had predicted them to be busts or productive players.
How is Darvish on this list? He's doing about what I thought most people expected him to do so far. Stanton also. I dunno, Beltran is a surprise, he's hitting like a 1st rounder no one would predict that. NixxiSix hyped the heck out of Peavy so some people were onto him.
Not sure what to make of the rest of the list but to post something like this in mid June with no specifics is definitely a bit confusing.
Ichiro is about the only one I was expecting more from. Still a lot of season to play.
Team Izzy C Mauer 1 E5 2 Altuve 3 ARam S Cabrera CI LaRoche MI Drew O Melky, Cuddyer, Morse, Hunter, McClouth U Ortiz SP Lee, Fister, Miller, Fernandez, Lackey, RP Chapman Frieri Grilli Gregrsn Bnch 1 Hart 3 Mdlbrk 3 Rendon O Eaton P Lohse Nolasco Santana
Not sure why it is confusing, if the person is on the list and they are doing good, then that means I predicted them to do bad. If they are doing bad that means I predicted for them to do good.
The "right" area is for the guys who are doing what I thought they would do, (Good or bad.) The people I listed in the wrong area are doing opposite from what I said they would do. (Good or bad.)

But like I said, Darvish is doing what I thought he would, so I'm not sure how people got him wrong. Stanton also. Both had slow starts and Stanton has turned it around big time while Darvish is pitching well enough to win most times out. Overall how is what they are currently projected for wrong? And how is Jurrjens being an awful pitcher surprising? No more Surprising Clay Bucholz had an ERA over 9.00 well into May. One got demoted, one didn't. It happens.

It's not who "people" got wrong, it's who I got wrong, or who you got wrong. The first part is a brag, the second is a mea culpa -- both compared to personal expectations, not consensus expectations.
Gotta think abt this...
Edit: Just to clarify -- "Gotta think abt this..." means I have to think about my list before writing anyone down. I wasn't trying to criticize you, Izenhart -- I didn't mean 'You gotta think abt this...' Sorry if that came across wrong.

^This guy gets it.
I didn't expect Stanton, Darvish and Beltran to do as good as they have so far. I expected better out of Jurrijens and Suzuki
I expected Han-Ram, Peavy, Bonifacio and Soriano to do good, I expected Santana to not do so good.
It's about the picks/ guesses you made on players. Your smart picks and your bad picks
