Bats
1. Domonic Brown, PHI; 2 for 4, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 2 R: Wait, so the kid can hit? Yes, he can indeed, but only if a righty is on the mound. The left-handed swinging Brown is hitting just .143 off of southpaws.
2. Curtis Granderson, NYY; 2 for 4, HR, 4 RBI, 2 R: I've run out of awesome shit to say about him, and it's only the middle of June.
3. Jose Reyes, NYM; 3 for 5, RBI, 2 R, 2 SB: Reyes is hitting over .450 in his last 16 games. I traded him before the season in a keeper league, basically for the rights to CC and Jon Lester. Can't say if I'd do it again.
4. Drew Stubbs, CIN; 3 for 4, RBI, R, 2 SB: Stubbs has picked up right where he left off last year, scoring runs in bunches and on pace to be a 20 HR/30 SB guy again. He's a little older than I thought (read: older than me), and his strikeouts are up, but he's even hitting for a better average than last season. So far.
5. Adam Lind, TOR; 2 for 4, HR, 2B, 2 RBI, 2 BB, R: I love Adam Lind, in a very non-homosexual way.
Arms
1. Justin Verlander, DET; CG, 2 H, BB, 12 K, W: It's not even impressive anymore. Throw a no-hitter or GTFO.
2. Jered Weaver, LAA; CG, 5 H, BB, 6 K, W: Kinda looks like shit when you put it up against Verlander's outing. That's five strong starts in a row after Weaver suffered through a down month of May.
3. James Shields, TB; CG, 5 H, 3 BB, 5 K, W: Three walks? How did this guy even make the Daily Leader board with three goddamn walks?
4. ^Cole Hamels, PHI; 7 IP, 3 H, ER, BB, 6 K, W: An earned run? How did this guy even make the Daily Leader board...actually, in all seriousness, Hamels left the game last night with tightness in his lower back. He should make his next start, but be aware.
5. Johnny Cueto, CIN; 7 IP, 5 H, BB, 5 K, W: That's 14 straight innings without allowing a run for Cueto. On a side note, this was the easiest pitching section of Daily Leaders I've ever had to do. Gems galore.
