I'll say this much after talking with 20-25 fans from other teams this year, they all said the Tribe would be up in the thick of it in the Central. I think its no surprise to see the Tribe going 5-1 in the first week, maybe record wise, but they way they have played, not a surprise. Hafner-Sizemore-Martinez were all solid last year. Johnson may be the biggest surprise, but when you pitch in Motown, you will have problems.
I guess the Tigers may be a bit of a surprise, but again its 1 week! Shelton hit over .300 I beleive last year, so his hot start isn't really shocking on my part.
Give it until June 1st and I think you will see the Sox and Tribe solidly back at the top of the Central.
Nice
