There are many reasons for the Mets surprising start. On the surface, Dillon Gee (RHP, NYM) isn't one of them. With a 4-3 record and 4.69 ERA, he seems to be charting a similar course to last year. Look deeper, though, and good things are happening.

Whether it was an early slump or a product of the brisk weather of early Spring, it took Dayan Viciedo (OF, CWS) a while to get going. But starting around mid-May, Viciedo has not only been productive, he's been tearing the cover off the ball...

We know there will be some new closers by the end of the season. Let's try to predict who they might be.

Johan Santana (LHP, NYM) secured his place in Mets history with his no-hitter on Friday night. But even before his stellar outing, Santana had looked fully recovered from the shoulder concerns that kept him out of action in 2011.

Back before the season started, the BBG looked at batters with seemingly “lucky” HR and BA performance in 2011. Now we look back to see if the performances were as lucky as we thought.

So far in 2012, Kelly Johnson (2B, TOR) has been more like the player the Toronto Blue Jays envisioned when they traded for him this past year. Johnson appears to have put to rest the questions that his struggles last season raised for the most part, but digging deeper reveals that some issues persist...

You might not expect it given his surface stats, but Max Scherzer (RHP, DET) posted the best skills of any SP in May. And it wasn't close.

Brandon Belt leading off, with Tyler Greene and some pitcher types. And some of them are buys! Don't read this right away... let the suspense build!

Carlos Ruiz (C, PHI) has been a Godsend for the Phillies through the first two months of the season. Without two of their big guns, the club has gotten surprising production from the 33-year-old backstop. Most surprising of all if the 7 HRs—only two shy of his career high for an entire season.

With the sluggish start that Brett Lawrie (3B, TOR) has had, it’s not surprising that he had a helmet-throwing temper tantrum a couple of weeks ago. After a strong rookie year (nine HR, seven SB in 150 AB), much was expected of the 22-year old Lawrie.
