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.
