Alvarez had 7 HR in the first 10 G, and has hit just 2 HR in the last 20 G, but still continues to perform above expectations.

Arenado continues to take advantage of high contact with runners on to drive in runs, and Anthony and Carlson have been pleasant surprises in the OF. I've been looking for the right combination between SS and corner outfielders.

One of the key aspects I focus on is the bullpen, namely bullpen W-L and FIP. ERA only means so much when a good portion of the runs you allow are inherited runners, and well, one meltdown can wreck reliever ERA. Right now the BP has been either lights out or lights off, sporting a W-L record of 5-5.

I drafted pretty heavily into a top tier bullpen, with the idea that we'd be playing a lot of close games, so it becomes more significant to stay in games and preserve leads.
