Mr. Lions is most disappointed in Mr. Clark! (Allsport)

The usual players are putting up great numbers. Griffey, McGwire and Ivan Rodriguez among others are performing as expected. There are however, a few suprises.

The negative suprises would have to include Pedro Martinez, Justin Thompson, Randy Johnson, and Frank Thomas. While these players are playing at a respectable level, they're not playing up to their full potential. Taking his seat at the top of the disappointment heap would have to be Tony Clark.

REBUTTAL Doug Smith of Columbia, SC disagrees with Tenn Lions: Pedro Martinez on the negative list? I've got Pedro in my league, and I'm very happy with his results thus far. Of course, we count strikeouts in our league, which has something to do with it. But even if you take that factor out, I don't think Pedro can be considered a disappointment at all. I would, however, add Travis Fryman and Brady Anderson to the disappointment list. These two guys have done absolutely nothing thus far this season.

The first thing that jumps out at you is his low home run number. Nobody expected him to have TWO homers at the beginning of May. His run production has been nonexistent. His batting average hovers around .230 and the most telltale sign of his struggle is that players around him are performing well. Damion Easley and Luis Gonzalez are having great years up to this point.
