I'd have to agree on Vlad. Like a lot of hitters he has a park he hits particularly well in, which has been the Rangers park. (However I've wondered how much of that was because he was hitting Rangers pitching which had been pretty weak over a lot of those years.) I would hardly list Hamilton as a nearly done player, he's under 30 and is hitting around .290 with 9 home runs. (A replay showed the umpires cost him his 10th this year when they ruled it a double instead of the home run it was ) And I could go through a list of older players the Rangers brought in over the last 10 years to DH who were complete busts, so don't credit everything Vlad is doing to the Rangers park.

I have been pleased with the play of Adam Rosales for the A's. What a great pickup he has been especially with all of the injuries they have had. I also enjoy the fastest homerun trot in the majors!

As a mets fan though I must say I am thrilled with Mike Pelfrey so far as well as the asian player they just inserted into their rotation who has pitched lights out although I cannot spell his name lol. Rod Barajas also has done well and Ike Davis is looking good.

I think again it is too early to tell. I think Vlad is more a product of playing 1/2 his games in the Rangers' ballpark than anything else. If you notice alot of Rangers hot better with the Rangers than with other teams even those who appeared done. Last year it was Andruw Jones this year its Vlad and in 2008 it was Josh Hamilton.

Big Daddy Vladdy

And pretty surprising, as he looked like Gramps running around the bases last year. He is one of the most enjoyable guys to watch at the plate with his see ball, hit ball attitude.

Carlos Silva of the Cubs...6-0 in 2010 after being a bust with Seattle previously. The Milton Bradley trade looks better all the time...

I'm a Jays fan, so very much biased here.

Jose Bautista -- 14 HRs leads the majors, and since last September, he's hit more HRs than anyone else in the majors.

Very nice surprise and a big reason why the Jays have hit the most HRs in all of baseball this season.

I'll go with my favorite NL team the Cardinals with rookie 3B David Freese. David has been clutch so far this season wih runners in scoring position. The concern with him was defense coming into the season and he has really done well even making rolen-like barehanded plays.

For my AL team the Rangers, I'd have to say Vlad Guerrero.... .339 batting average, 12 Hrs and 42 RBI's....the numbers speak for themselves. Glad to see him injury-free again.

As an O's fan I must say there are lots of disappointments this season, or hell, this decade.... but I've been plesantly surprised with the performance of Ty Winnington so far this season..... .575 SLG, 13 HR, 32 RBI (hard to get when nobody's on base)
