Roy Halladay has held the NL innings pitched lead for every update so far this year, and Michael Bourn has led the NL in stolen bases since the May 23 update, but a few other categories have been a little more back-and-forth. This week's big stories are Felix Hernandez re-capturing the AL innings pitched lead and Tim Lincecum, once again, dropping out of the NL strikeout lead.
Despite their apparent pool dominance, Bourn only leads by three stolen bases and Halladay by nine innings pitched, so they are far from locks. Of course, with injuries always possible, nothing's really a lock.
Robinson Cano is bidding to become a mainstay in the AL batting race, but with three AL hitters north of .350, it would be a little premature to count on Cano as a sure bet.
These recent developments have Michael Orobona standing alone at the top of the standings for the first time this year, and Jud Ehrbar—who’s been lurking near the top, but finally gets a mention—trailing Orobona by just a few HBP.

Miguel Cabrera's Triple Crown candidacy could have a huge upside for Amy Gill, but for now his ascension to a share of the AL home run lead has Tony Wight in first place, and Tim Farrell tied for second with Michael Orobona.
That's the main story this week, that and the fact that Tim Lincecum is once again leading the NL in strikeouts, even if it looks as though Ubaldo Jimenez is a lock to end his bid for a third straight Cy Young award. Amy boldly picked Cabrera in all three Triple Crown categories—a distinction normally reserved for the likes of Albert Pujols and Alex Rodriguez—and the Tigers slugger currently trails Vladmir Guerrero by one RBI, and isn't insurmountably behind in the batting race either.

Ugh. It's not a season low—1.70 correct picks per person compared to 1.65 on May 15—but you know we're in trouble when we can't even count on Tim Lincecum.
