No one expected what Starling Marte is doing so far in his first full season, outperforming teammate Andrew McCutchen. Plus Jon Niese, Chase Utley, Trevor Rosenthal and Jordan Schafer.

Edwin Encarnacion broke out in a spectacular manner in 2012. Can he repeat this year? Also Joe Mauer, Max Scherzer, Craig Gentry, and Brandon Maurer.

This time of year, some pitchers have been more lucky than good. It pays to know which ones.

Cole Hamels has only one win through eight starts and an ERA over 4.00. Plus Chris Johnson, Jim Henderson, Adam LaRoche and Jedd Gyorko.

Take a look beyond the numbers with this list of potential power faders.

Albert Pujols is off to another slow start - are there signs to suggest rebound is coming, or is this the beginning of the end? Also, Willingham, Buehrle, Perez, Kazmir.

David Price has seen his fastball velocity and strikeouts dip so far in 2013. What exactly is the relationship between the two?

A mixed bag: a rookie, two Tigers, a few closers, and more. Lots of buys... shop early and often.

Martin on track for big year ... Russell Martin (C, PIT) opened eyes last year with a career-high 21 HRs. But the power burst obscured a .211 batting average -- the continuation of a five-year decline. Add that to a change of teams and it was hard to know what to expect from the veteran catcher.

140+ BPV means elite skills. So why the high ERA for these relievers?

Vernon Wells has certainly resurrected his career in the Bronx—can he sustain it all year? Plus Jason Vargas, Jhonny Peralta, Bartolo Colon and Aaron Hicks.
