I'd start worrying about the Tigers. They got swept by the Royals and are on the verge of getting swept by the White Sux. The starters don't look good, the pen looks awful, and the offense isn't working right.

There was cause for concern with the bottom 3 of the rotation and the entire bullpen. This was a team that needed to make a move for some pen depth.

Houston has shown what's going to happen all year. The offense will score 6 runs, the opponents will score 8. Their rotation (minus Oswalt) is trash and their entire pen is trash. Except Valverde, who is essentially useless if your setup guys and middle relief and 2-5 starters don't give you a save situation.

Colorado starting slow isn't an anomoly. Cincy, Baltimore, and Florida are anomolies.

Milwaulkee will go as far as their rotation takes them, though don't take too much from the first Chicago series (2-1) and the SF series (SF is one of the worst teams in the league). I expect Sheets month long stint to the DL to happen by June 1. Gagne's first outing (Blown save) is the real Gagne. He won't be the firm closer by the ASG.

Not sold on the Cards. I think they'll be a 3rd place finisher in the NL Central, but I don't think they have the personel or the health to stay in the hunt into September. Pujols will probably get washed for the season for his elbow.

Not panicing on the Mets yet. I do think they won't run away with the division. I think Atlanta is back, and I don't think Santana will get the NL Cy Young or be the wins leader.

Fukudome is real. NL RotY. If Derrick Lee keeps hitting like this, he's back in contention for the batting title. Triple crown might be out of reach with monsters like R Howard and P Fielder in the NL.
