Here are some individual and team leaders, and my opinion on suprises/dissapointments
Individual leaders
Home Runs- Paul Konerko 11
RBIs- Miguel Cabrera 25
Batting Average- Robinson Cano .400
Runs scored- Evan Longoria 22
Wins- Ubaldo Jiminez 5
Strikeouts- Tim Lincecum 43
ERA- Mike Pelfrey 0.69
Saves- Matt Capps 10
Team Leaders
Runs Scored- Tampa Bay Rays 144
Hits- Detroit Tigers 236
HRs- Toronto Blue Jays 35
Batting Average- Detroit Tigers/Kansas City Royals .282
OBP- Detroit Tigers .364
Wins- Tampa Bay Rays 17
Losses- Baltimore Orioles 18
Team ERA- St. Louis Cardinals 2.65
Starters ERA- San Francisco Giants 2.64
Bullpen ERA- Detroit Tigers 2.22
Biggest Suprises
Austin Jackson- I for one thought he wouldnt amount to much and he still may not but after 1 month he was third in the majors in batting average at .364 and has done an awesome job at the leadoff position
Mike Pelfrey- 4-0 with an ERA under 1, just shocking to me to see him pitch that well
Barry Zito- Its only suprising because he's been bad for so long..
Detroit Tigers bullpen- seriously who saw it coming that'd they do so well, the Jose Valverde, Joel Zumaya, Phil Coke, Fu Te Ni and Ryan Perry have really all pitched outstanding thus far
Biggest Dissapointments
LA Dodgers- I for one didnt see them in last place, their pitching has really hurt them though which has contributed to their struggles
Rick Porcello- after a dominating spring, everyone in Detroit expected big things, but with an ERA of 8, he has struggled massively lately despite a 2-2 record
Baltimore Orioles- sorry but its an inside joke
