Now, for the disappointments. In many cases, these players are currently on the DL (marked with a *) or have spent much time on the DL. Low numbers are bad - not many points or drafted early.

Some thoughts. Remember that these numbers are for less than one month of play, so this is still a small sample size. That said...
First base has by far the fewest surprises. Good place to spend an early draft pick if you want a solid pick, neither good nor bad. In effect, at 1B, it's "reliable", you get what you pay for. By contrast, catchers have the most surprises, both steals and disappointments. IMO, catcher is not worth spending a high round draft pick, as you might be disappointed by an injury, and there seem to always be good steal catchers available for cheap. Shortstop is also a spot where there seem to be many surprises. Second base is kind of "medium". Less surprises than at SS, but still some. For catcher and middle infield, draft as best you can, but it is important to remain active with trades or on the waiver wire.
Third base and outfield have reasonably few surprises. Remember that outfield has three times as many total players, so 6 "steals" is more like 2 steals at another position. Most of the disappointments are due to injuries. So, in general, you seem to get what you pay for here.
Starting pitcher is interesting. There are a lot of positive "steals", pitchers who are doing far better than their ADP. But relatively few "disappointments". So, if you spend on a top-flite pitcher, you generally get what you pay for. But plenty of bargains are there to be had. Again, this is a key area to remain active with trade and on the waiver wire.
