After one month of play here are the surprises so far. Which of these are most likely to stick for the whole season?

- Toronto in 1st place

- Royals in 1st place

- Seattle in 1st place when the Angels were projected to win it by a landslide

- Tampa Bay in last place

- Marlins in 1st place (Philly not far behind though)

- Pit and Cincy ahead of the Cubs

- Padres have a winning record

- Aaron Hill batting .376 with 5HR and 20RBI

- Chris Davis striking out once every 2 ABs which is on pace for 300K's

love aaron hill hes killing for me, adam jones too.

royals might stick around very good staff

pirates are going to crash

marlins do not win the east

angels get their whole staff back soon so they will get better

Ibanez was a definite upgrade from Burrell. Only problem I see is left handed pitching shutting them down, but how many good left handed pitchers are out there.

royals now 3 out

seattle now 5 out (TEXAS in first )

tampa out of the cellar, still not .500 though

marlins now 4th, 2-8 their last 10

reds and pirates now behind my beloved cubs despite them losing 4 straight

padres 3 under

aaron hill now at .344 11hrs 34rbi (doesn't look like he's slowing down)

chris davis 61k's in 137ab's, 7 in his last 22
