While A-Rod gets all the attention across town, Carlos Beltran has been quietly asserting himself as the best all-around player in the National League early in this season. He usually takes a couple of months to get hot but this season he came out of the gate blazing, at or near the league best in average, OPS, and RBI, all the while making eye-popping plays in center field. He has essentially been carrying my fantasy team.

With Alou and Green also both putting up great April numbers I think there's little argument about what team has the best outfield in baseball. We do it with style.

Congratulations, Carlos, on your first Player Of The Week nod for the 2007 season - no doubt many more are to come.
