Who would've thought three weeks in that David Ortiz would have the AL's second-highest OPS (1.291)? |
| 6. Yankees |

104/84 |
11-8 |
Perhaps all the talk of Paul O'Neill being hurt for much of last season wasn't such a fallacy after all (seven homers in April) |

Jimmy Rollins is quickly becoming a Power Alley favorite |

93/72 |

Luke Prokopec: 2-0, 12 K's, 0 BB's in two starts. Umm, maybe he should stay in the rotation? |

Larry Walker an MVP candidate if he keeps slugging .743 on the road |

The scary thing about this team (besides the pitching): Palmeiro, Pudge haven't hit that well yet |
| 15. Braves |

Believe it or not, Andruw Jones has four home runs and five RBI |
| 16. Cardinals |

It's gonna be a long summer in Flushing unless Al Leiter gets it turned around -- and fast |

Is it possible Darin Erstad (.634 OPS) had a fluke year last season? Well, he wasn't too good in '99 |

24 |
84/87 |

Jose Hernandez has been one pleasant surprise (six homers thus far) for sure |
| 22. White Sox |
16 |
80/91 |
6-11 |
Magglio Ordonez has two walks in 64 at-bats. One of the many reasons why he's struggling so much |
