Most impressive thing has been the rotation. In fact, I am so impressed that I am nearly skeptical. If this rotation can perform the way it did the first time through, removing opening day, this team will not only surprise, but contend.

Isaac Sorsa: It is a toss-up between the bullpen and the patience shown at the plate. We have won two games already by taking the right apporach at the plate. Dontrelle Willis had very good stuff when he threw against us, but the hitters showed a lot of patience and got to him when they had a chance. The tone that is set at the top of the order with Swisher and Cabrera has carried over to the rest of the lineup. This team will walk a lot.

As far as the bullpen goes, it was clear we had made major upgrades by picking up Linebrink and Dotel, and so far they have not disappointed. I am also comfortable with Boone Logan when he comes in to a game. They will need to continue to be consistent for this team to contend, and there are always question marks (MacDougal) when you are talking about a bullpen, but as a unit this is a very strong group.

JJ Stankevitz: The middle relief. The way Boone Logan, Scott Linebrink, and Octavio Dotel (minus the Opening Day disaster) have bridged the gap to Bobby Jenks has been very, very impressive. Granted, the bullpen started off hot last year and then fell apart by June, but this bullpen has a lot of experience and shouldn't see that kind of dropoff.

 

What has disappointed you about the team so far?
