Matt Carpenter had 33 extra-base hits in a part time role last year, helping make him a popular draft day choice, especially in NL-only leagues. Has he met expectations? Plus Jeff Locke, Jonathan Lucroy, Scott Feldman and Didi Gregorious.
Will Mariano Rivera continue to provide vintage value in his farewell season, or will age finally catch up with him? Also, Melkly Cabrera, Eric Hosmer, Brandon Morrow and Manny Machado.

Albert Pujols is off to another slow start - are there signs to suggest rebound is coming, or is this the beginning of the end? Also, Willingham, Buehrle, Perez, Kazmir.
Martin on track for big year ... Russell Martin (C, PIT) opened eyes last year with a career-high 21 HRs. But the power burst obscured a .211 batting average -- the continuation of a five-year decline. Add that to a change of teams and it was hard to know what to expect from the veteran catcher.
