Quentin was a major prospect for the DBacks and played with a hurt shoulder last year. I wouldn't really call him a fluke because he has the potential and skills to be a 30 HR guy with a decent (.280/.290) average.
I agree on MIke Napoli. He is playing beyond himself a little bit right now.
Cliff Lee is tough to call a "fluke" for me. Crazy, insane hot streak? Yes. Last year he was injured for most of the year and did pitch poorly when he was healthy. The year before wasn't horrible, just mediocre. In 2005 he pitched very well. Maybe I'm just/have been optimistic on the guy because I drafted him in my $ league for $1.
