MLB Early Season Surprises

The 2009-2010 MLB season is a week into action and there is already plenty of surprises to be had:

Florida Marlins

As great as a 4-0 start is, don't jump all over the Marlins just yet. They beat up on the what could be the worst team in baseball, the Washington Nationals, for three wins. However they did take an impressive series-opener from the New York Mets.

I wouldn't take too much from this perfect start, but nonetheless, they are undefeated for the first time in franchise history.

Baltimore Orioles

The Orioles started off the season in very impressive fashion by taking two of three from the Yankees. They then turned around and took the series opener from the Rays to put them at 3-1 overall.

I know it very early in the season, but those are some huge wins against AL East rivals.

Toronto Blue Jays

Could the AL East be even stronger than we already anticipated? The Blue Jays have started off 5-1, taking three of four from the Tigers, and the first two of a three-game series with the Indians.

This team still has a lot to prove, but scoring 42 runs in the first six games of the season is mighty impressive.

Phillies/ Rays

Last season's World Series contenders have a combined record of 3-5 to start the season.
