While it's still too early to read to much into the early season stats, many unheralded players are off to impressive starts. If you drafted, picked up, or traded for some of the following players, your fantasy team is likely off to an equally impressive start. Although it would be foolish to count on this kind of production to continue for some of these players, stranger things have been known to happen.

OK, the GNUru may have been wrong about Kelly Johnson. Mr. Johnson has looked really good thus far and the fact he came up through the Braves organization only lends more credence to his ability.

Kinsler was a big-time "Sexy Pick" this season and he is proving all the experts right. While the league is certain to catch up with him at some point, he should adjust quickly and remain a very productive 2B.

Another guy known more for defensive and his hustle, Rowand is finally showing his promise at the plate.

J.J. Hardy has always been known for his solid defensive but we are finally seeing what the Brewers scouts have seen- a pretty gosh-darn good hitter!

Edgar has been long forgotten by fantasy baseball folks but his numbers thus far have been impressive.

Upton long awaited MLB arrival (for good) is here and he hasn't disappointed. Even nicer is his multi-position eligibility.

Sammy Sosa's 2007 comeback was greeted with blah. With no HGH testing in place Sosa appear to be in super steroid form. In a great hitters park a comeback player of the year award is not out of question.
Adrian Gonzalez

While many have expected big things from Gonzalez for some time now, Adrian is finally off to the start many have expected.

Although Hamilton has cooled off of late, Josh has shown he can hit major league pitching. If regular at bats continue, Hamilton immediately becomes a nice OF option in any league format.
Aaron Hill

In just 99 at bats, Aaron Hill has already tied his career high of 6 homeruns and is nearly halfway to his career high in RBI (51). Aaron is talented and young enough to continue his upward trend.
