June 1, 2006
The first two months of the 2006 AL season are in the books. My Detroit Tigers stumbled a bit in May going 14-14. This has allowed the Chicago White Sox to take the lead in the AL Central. The White Sox have posted best pitching numbers in the AL. The Minnesota Twins were a league best 18-10 in May and moved into 3rd place in the Central just 3 games behind. The Toronto Blue Jays lead the AL East by a .5 game over the New York Yankees. Toronto has the best offensive numbers in the league. Over in the AL West the Seattle Mariners hold a slim 1 game lead over the Los Angeles Angels.
The Cleveland Indian's Jim Thome leads the AL in HR (22) and RBI (55). Baltimore's Miquel Tejada leads the league with a .387 BA. Toronto's Roy Halliday (8-2, 2.23 ERA) can lay claim to the top pitcher in the AL. But Boston's Tim Wakefield (7-1, 2.30) and Chicago's Javier Vasquez (7-2, 2.28) are right there with him.
Standouts for my Detroit Tigers include Carlos Guillen (.364 BA, 5th in the AL) and Jeremy Bonderman (6-2) with a league best 82 K's.
