Through four games, M's outfield defense as good as advertised

Baseball Analysts have a nice little write-up (and graph) on how the M's outfield defense has performed so far over the first four games of the season. Obviously, small sample size caveats apply.
There have been 40 balls in play to Seattle's outfield so far and the average outfield makes 21.75 outs. The Mariners made 25 outs. They are 3.25 outs above average just four games into the season (how many over Raul?).
I'm excited to see how much coverage and recognition the M's outfield defense has been getting early in the season. And, holy shit, I can't wait for Ichiro to return and we can see this outfield at full strength.

I feel like
it was even better than that, bah. The only plays I remember them not making was one hard hit ball over Balentien and a short one near Griffey, other than that it’s been singles just over the infielders that I guess count as being really shallow fly balls?

He really has been enjoyable to watch so far.
