      Hopefully it doesn't change too much. Although very hard to imagine the Tigers not going on a run and taking the Central.

      "I have the ultimate respect for Whitesox fans. They were as miserable as the Cubs and Redsox fans ever were but always had the good decency to keep it to themselves. And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country."--Jim Caple, ESPN (Jan. 12, 2011)

        Well, last year the Tigers started a little slow, and by early June, they were 4.5 games behing Cleveland in the division and ended up winning the AL Central by only 15 games over Cleveland

          Adam Dunn's SO total is the most amazing stat for me.

            Not only is he on pace to destroy the single season strike out record, but he is also on pace to top his career high in HR, RBI and BB.

                  Prince Fielder is leading MLB in On-Base Percentage. That surprised me.
                  They call me Mr. Baseball. Not because of my love for the game; because of all the stitches in my head.

                    And he's third in the AL in RBIs as well

                      Still seems like he's having an off year, though.

                        Because he only has 23 home runs.

                        I really hope he hits 50 home runs again.

                          Still seems like he's having an off year, though.
                          Remember, same case as Pujols, he's adjusting to a new league and both had a slow start.

                            This will be Fielder's 4th consecutive season with an OBP over .400. He'll the only player in MLB to have done so. It souldn't be that surprising.
                            My top 10 players:

                            1. Babe Ruth
                            2. Barry Bonds
                            3. Ty Cobb
                            4. Ted Williams
                            5. Willie Mays
                            6. Alex Rodriguez
                            7. Hank Aaron
                            8. Honus Wagner
                            9. Lou Gehrig
                            10. Mickey Mantle

                              Not being a Brewers' fan, I never had occasion to peruse his stats in previous years, excuse me.
                              They call me Mr. Baseball. Not because of my love for the game; because of all the stitches in my head.
