    1 Albert Pujols Owners would probably like a few more HR's, but have no reason to complain 1 0
    2 Ryan Braun He has simply been better than Han-Ram 3 1
    3 Hanley Ramirez Batting .417 with 4 HR and 11 RBI in May- Only 2 SB for the year 2 -1
    4 Chase Utley First in NL in Runs and has shown good power 5 1
    5 Matt Kemp Showing his 5-tool skills 6 1
    6 Miguel Cabrera On Triple Crown Pace- .370, 102 R, 37 HR, 162 RBI 9 3
    7 Even Longoria Living up to the hype with only 5 hitless games all season- Best 3B in the game? 18 11
    8 Roy Halladay 6 Wins, 3 Complete Games gives the the edge over Lincecum 17 9
    9 Tim Lincecum Quality Starts in every outing and more K's than Halladay 10 1
    10 Alex Rodriguez Only 2 HR's so far...just a slow start or are we starting to see a decline? 3 -7
    11 Carl Crawford May never hit more than 20 HR's, but doing everything else 12 1
    12 Justin Upton Batting only .217 but 22 R, 5 HR, 16 RBI, 5 SB is about what we expected 8 -4
    13 Mark Teixeira Typical awful April- But 12 for 30, 3 HR, 11 RBI through 7 games in May 11 -2
    14 Ryan Howard Another historically slow starter has 5 HR thus far, but is batting an nice .287 13 -1
    15 David Wright After a power drought last year, is back to flashing his 30-30 potential 16 1
    16 Prince Fielder Brewers have scored over 6 or more runs in 12 of their 30 games. Fielder is just starting to join the party and is still a lock for 30+ HR 7 -9
    17 Joe Mauer Bruised heel has slowed him down. With only 1 HR, was last year's 28 just a mirage? 14 -3
    18 Felix Hernandez One of the best starters in baseball in April, has had 2 rough outings in May. Still averaging almost a K per inning. 21 3
    19 Robinson Cano Has cooled some after hitting .400 in April but Cano has staked his claim as the 2B you want after Utley 31 12
    20 Andre Ethier .392 BA, 20 R, 10 HR, 32 RB says it all. Lack of SB is the only thing holding him back from being a lot higher on this list 54 34
    21 Dustin Pedroia Steady as ever...and pace for 36 HR's 26 5
    22 Adrian Gonzalez Streaky hitter due for a power surge 25 3
    23 Matt Holliday Owners expected more than 4 HR and 11 RBI from their 2nd or 3rd round pick 19 -4

    25 Jayson Werth Still underrated, even with a .350 BA 40 15
    26 Troy Tulowitzki Perennial slow starter... but only 1 HR? 15 -11
    27 CC Sabathia K's are down (only 34 in 47 innings) , but still as solid as they come 29 2
    28 Ryan Zimmerman Hamstring slowed him down a bit 36 8
    29 Ian Kinsler Hitting .343 since returning from injury. Owners still waiting for his 1st HR 22 -7
    30 Joey Votto Power and average are high as expected, but 4 SB is a bonus 37 7
    31 Adam Wainwright Past 40 starts: 23-9, 279 IP, 2.52 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 248 K 48 17
    32 Ubaldo Jimenez Dominant stats don't lie...Can he keep it up? 85 53
    33 Mark Reynolds 10 HR's is nice...1 SB and .238 BA not so much 32 -1
    34 Nelson Cruz Was on a tear before straining his hamstring...Should pick up right where he was 66 32
    35 Justin Morneau Batting .351 and on pace for 37 HR and 113 RBI. Has only 1 HR in new ballpark though 46 11
    36 Kendry Morales Does everything but steals bases. Quickly moving up the 1B ranks 53 17
    37 Zack Greinke 2.507 ERA and 1.05 WHIP shouldn't translate to an 0-4 record 23 -14
    38 Pablo Sandoval Kung Fu Panda is hitting just .222 with RISP 33 -5
    39 Jon Lester Has allowed only 1 R on 10 hits over his past 20.2 innings to go with a 22:8 K:BB. 45 6
    40 Chris Carpenter When healthy, one of the best SP in the game 56 16
    41 Adam Lind Batting .108 (4 for 37) with 12 strikeouts in last 10 games. Owners want Lind '09 back 34 -7
    42 Andrew McCutchen Batting .333 and on pace for 21 HR and 54 SB. He is the only thing keeping Pirates fans sane 88 46
    43 Kevin Youkillis Consistent...One of the few bright spots for the Sox so far 38 -5
    44 Dan Haren ERA a bit high (4.04), but 4-1 and more than a K per inning is nice 35 -9
    45 B.J. Upton After a hot start, 0 HR's and a .209 average over the last 2 weeks 52 7
    46 Justin Verlander K's are there, has given up 3 or more ER in 5 of his 7 starts 44 -2
    47 Ichiro Suzuki Going about his business, on pace for his normal 30+ steals, but 0 HR is frustrating for owners 24 -23

    53 Bobby Abreu Has slowed down in May, but is as consistent as anyone 63 10
    54 Josh Johnson 47 K's in 43 innings- on any other team he'd get more attention 68 14
    55 Billy Butler Will hit for high average (currently .341) but not as much power as the elite 1B 77 22
    56 Jason Bay 1 HR and .238 is not what the Mets paid for 42 -14
    57 Jimmy Rollins Should be ready to roll in another week or so 30 -27
    58 Elvis Andrus Moved his way to the top of a potent order and is getting on base enough (.413 OBP) to steal 13 bases 96 38
    59 Cliff Lee Roughed up a bit after a dominant first outing. He should regain his status as a top-flight SP soon enough 50 -9
    60 Yovani Gallardo An impressive 40 K's and only 5 ER over his last 5 starts 65 5
