  1. Tampa Bay Rays and Dodgers since they acquired Manny Ramirez.


  2. No doubt Tampa.  Heck they are in first, and have been, and have been in thick of things since season began and yet still many are waiting for them to crumble. Not going to happen. Not only the "surprise " team, but also the most unrecognized, as well as being hardly spoken about.

    Mid season, last season, I noticed the type of team they were putting together, and started cheering for them then, thinking with their pitching they could make noise, and sure enough. Even their pitching which has been in top 7 all season, still doesnt get the respect.

    As for Marlins, I said earlier in the season that they would over take Phillies and Mets, and surely its possible.  I think their pitching is actually better then what their team ERA is, and offensively have what it takes. Just wish they would play Jacobs more.

  3. I think it's the marlins. This team was supposed to do horrible this year since they lost Cabrera and WiIlis.  

  4. From Last to First in the AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST!!!!  With the juggernaut Red Sox and Yankees behind them!  The answer to this question is simply the Rays.  Period

  5. How is it the Mets?  They have the third highest payroll in baseball, not to mention an ace in Santana from an already playoff caliber team, and it wasn't uncommon to hear people picking them to win the pennant preseason.  

    Go with the Rays.  Second LOWEST payroll in the majors, virtually no big names other than probably Longoria who's a rookie and carrying the team, not to mention their staying atop the AL East in a city with about half of the support as places like NYC/Boston.  If they're going to make a run at winning it all, they better do it this season.

  6. i LOVE the fact that The Twins are fliying under EVERYONES radar

  7. MINNESOTA TWINS YOU KNOW THE TEAM PICKED FOR LAST IN THE AL CENTRAL HELLLLLLOOOO!!!!!

    And it's obvious the Tampa Bay Rays

  8. TB Devil Rays. They were expected to have a terrible year and once again be in the bottom of the AL East, but have overtaken the Sox and Yanks.

  9. i would say top five: rays, mets, marlins, brewers, diamondbacks. rays being the most surprising and the only reason the diamondbacks are even surprising is because they should be dominating the west but can barely keep the dodgers down

  10. "surprisingly" good?  tampa bay rays

    surprisingly mediocre?  detroit tigers

    surprisingly bad?  seattle mariners


  11. the tampa bay rays.no questions.they went from the baddest team in baseball to a contender.

  12. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays...oh wait, sorry christians...the Tampa Bay Rays.  They've always been considered a joke team, but now they're kicking major butt.  Everyone is so sick of Yankees / Red Sox all the time, that the Rays are a breath of fresh air in a division ruled by the two richest teams.

  13. i was thinking about the rays but it was a surprice that they didn't win sooner the have a bunch of #1 draft picks plus they have good veteran players.

    the florida marlins are very surprising they didnt have a good pitchin staff and the only players you know from the team are dan uggla and Hanley Ramirez, maybe the guy that had a no hitter last year i cant remember his make lol . florida marlins wow they are in a race for the playoffs.

      

  14. Brewers they started out decent and slowly drifted down the stats...sigh

  15. the rays are going crazy for sure, but come playoff time, you will say the Dbacks are the most surprising... i know theyre only a few games over .500, but they have the staff and the coach to truely be a surprise to everyone

  16. The Cardinals. Bad year last year, a holey starting rotation, not too many players returning who were on the 2006 World Series roster, predicted by many to take the last/2nd to last place in the division, is now a division contender.

    And now, whenever ESPN or whoever talks about the NL Central race, they don't even mention the Cardinals. They're flying under the radar, and will come back and retake the lead in the Central.

  17. Tampa Bay Rays

    The Mets are the most disappointing.

  18. mets...

  19. its the st louis cardinals, rays were already expected to play better

  20. Most Surprising:Florida Marlins

    Most Disappointing:Detroit Tigers

  21. The Devil Rays...I even think the Royals are a little surprising, but no one ever notices them.
