I dont think they are either, with a healthy rotation led by Brandon Webb and their lineup is hitting for them, which certainly helps.

With all that being said, Arizona is the best of the worst, to be honest. We'll see if this year is any different, and it isnt just the DH… the AL is simply head and shoulders better, offensively. The fact that the Indians' starters are putting up the kind of starts they are in the far superior league makes it that much more impressive in my mind.

Arizona's staff is awfully good, but the Indians have to be tops, simply by virtue of the teams they play. Offenses are absolutely lethal in the AL… Texas for example?

Cleveland can make a good argument for the best rotation that's true. I probably should have said best staff instead of rotation.

Or better yet, whose pitching is going to be the farthest above the competition they have to play on their schedule? The Indians have to play good pitching teams like the Yankees, Red Sox, Rays, Angels, and even the Tigers (great potential). The D-backs pitching could be dominant against a lot more NL staffs than will the Indians over AL staffs.

The point remains..I don't think the D-backs are a real surprise.

Cleveland… has a better rotation than Arizona.

I think the Rays having this good of a beginning to the season is a surprise but in no way do I think the Diamondbacks are a surprise. Pitching wins. Does anybody have a better rotation than Arizona?
