Early season surprises/disappointments

[jspamer]

Suprise: Success of rookies

Dissapointment: Kuramochi, ERA is up 2 and complete game % is way down.

D. Guardamangi is the biggest surprise on the Javelinas. He's 6-1 with a 2.12 ERA. Not bad!

We haven't really had any major dissapointments.

Disappointments:

Extra base hits. Before last sim, I was dead last, now I'm in 8th place. Although, I am 3rd in runs scored.

no real surprises so far.

Signing Coto to a 3 yr/$15 mil contract is really paying dividends. And by dividends, I mean losses upon losses.

It's been a dissapointing start in general for my team, here's a few in particular:

1B Vincent Nino- Hit 24 HRs, drove in 100 RBI as a rookie last season, it hitting .148 with 1 bomb and 12 RBI so far.

SS/3B Harry Mackin- Signed him hoping for a little offense off the bench, but he's been forced into a starting role and has hit .136. Back to the bench for him.

My offense is last in the IL in several categories, I could go on and on about their disappointing start.

Surprises:

SP Joe Ponte- I thought he'd start showing signs of being an ace, but he's been great so far. 4-1 with a 1.87 ERA. We've won 8 of the 9 games he's started.

RF Tim Murcott- Maybe the only true bright spot of my lineup. He's hitting .336, 50 points higher than he did last year.
