RE: Who have been the biggest suprises in MLB in 2011
Jason Heyward has been a big disappointment this year....after a ROY runner-up season, he has had a terrible year....I hope for my collection's sake that he pulls it out and it's just the sophomore slump.
As far as good surprises....Brandon Beachy and Craig Kimbrel.....two players who really weren't on too many peoples' radars, and are now pitching like crazy.

Vance Worley has come out of nowhere to have a great season. In my opinion Jason Heyward has been the biggest disappointment. He pretty much sucks this year.

Kinsler usually always has a tendency to get under the ball and pull it but as of late, with 7 hrs in 7 games and 10 in his last 18!! PULL THE BALL ALL YOU WANT KINS!

Guess I'll speak for my small market Royals
Alex Gordon by far was most surprising. A lot of people in KC were ready to write him off as a draft bust.
Melky Cabrera has had a very good season as well as Jeff Francouer.

How is Jason Heyward a bigger disappointment than Adam Dunn? It is not even close.. Phillies "fans" really need to focus on their own players rather than the Atlanta braves! I use the term "fans" loosely because it seems like there werent many of you until 2007!
