Fantasy Baseball: Early Struggles or Cause for Concern?

Found April 21, 2008 on FantasyFanatics.com:
PLAYERS: Fausto Carmona,  CC Sabathia,  Prince Fielder,  Alfonso Soriano,  David Ortiz
TEAMS: Cleveland Indians,  Milwaukee Brewers,  Chicago Cubs,  Boston Red Sox

There are a lot of big name sluggers that are off to slow starts this season that have some fantasy owners in a panic. Players like David Ortiz, Alfonso Soriano, and Prince Fielder have frustrated owners and left them asking if something is wrong and if they should hang on to them. I for one am not worried about any of these sluggers. Pitching is usually a little ahead of the hitting coming out of Spring Training and as the weather heats up, I am confident these players will find their strokes. I do however, have some concerns about some of the pitching talent that has started slowly this year.
