Surprisingly good:
:WAS: - Wow, I knew Jake was working his magic in Washington, but I didn't expect him to compete this quickly.
:KC: - David Wright is looking good.

Surprisingly Bad:
:TOR: - I guess I was looking for more from Toronto.
:COL: - Knowing they had lost a great GM to the Dodgers it was going to be an interesting transition, as Colorado looked for a replacement.
:OAK: - Horrid week 1.  Much better week 2.  The surprise was how bad week 1 was. 
:NYM: - After spending like a bandit this off-season the results don't look much better.  Start Span and Beltran and bench EVERYONE else.

Sleepers:
:PIT:  I trust Colby's baseball prowess.  I also understand his pattern of bettering the Pirates through draft and trade. 
:LAD:  This team is the reigning WS Champ for 2 years and Howe is no slouch.  Tough to call a 12-4 team sleeping, but his may just be. 
:SD:  This could be selfish gloating, or bigoted egotism at it's worst; but who cares.  I think the Padres are in a rough division, but the lamp is lit in Friar Village.  They could finish middle of the road this year and increase their payroll!

I can see your Padres finishing .500.  It is tough to judge teams this early as the first week is erratic.  However, if teams lose too much in April the it may force them to sell... Unless they are the Twins of 2011.

Random thoughts:
- Someone wake Reid up. He has a lot of talent benched
- OAK is under .500 because opponents are average 1000 pts a week, highest in the league
- SEA is over .500 despite getting outscored by 3000 points (translates to about 200 pts a game)
- TEX deserves to be first averaging about 1390 per game (LA is second averaging 1262)
- MIL has about 8.5M and 9 spots to play with; scary combination with that loaded minor league system (Ben also needs to wake up)
- A lot of the contending teams need SP help, if you are rebuilding, now is the time to play these off each other and get a good prospect for your SP

If this is the case then it's time to get a replacement in here...there's at least 500 points on the bench.

.500 is if everything clicks...but I can hope.  I agree it's tough to judge due to erratic MLB play, people not setting lineups, moves yet to be made; but I'd like to see discussions pick up and I think this is a good one to keep running. 

The tough thing about April is that there's a lot of season left.  Sometimes you push that panic button too soon and things don't end up working out.  I think being at the bottom of league expectations makes it easy to stand pat as well.

-Oakland had about 300 points their first week.  That wouldn't beat many. 
-Texas is out of this world right now.
-Where is Ben?

Any thoughts on Jakes Nats?
