Biggest surprise for me has been Neal Cotts and the confidence he's had thus far after the rough callup last year in the pennant race. He's been a pleasant surprise as I thought he'd have a tough time starting the season with the big club, but he's proved otherwise.
The other surprise I'd mention would be the surprisingly stellar play of Willie Harris whom I boldly told Steff at Soxfest would be in the minor leagues by May 1st...Looks like I was off on that one, but I'm glad that Willie has played well. Never doubted his effort, I just didn't think he could consistently contribute at the ML Level. So far this year, he has, so let's hope he can keep that up.
