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.
