After more than two full weeks of baseball, the sample sizes are still small but there some real takeaways as to what we can expect over the next 6-7 months of baseball.

Notably: The New York Yankees are going to compete in the American League East.

Off to a 12-4 start, the Yankees are off to a torrid start with ace Gerrit Cole sidelined. The Baltimore Orioles were heavy favorites in the division entering the season, but the Yankees look like a genuine AL contender.

After missing out on the postseason last year, the Yankees have gotten some tremendous offensive performances so far. The greatness of Juan Soto (1.009 OPS) was to be expected but second-year shortstop Anthony Volpe (.382 average, 1.009 OPS, 5 SB) is taking his game to the next level.

The USA TODAY Sports power rankings are always fluid this early in the season as we operate on a combination of vibes and small sample sizes, but here's how things shape up this week:
