First off, here are the MLB standings and leaders which I've been remiss in posting this year:

Not too much different than recent years for the AL, except that Cleveland has a big lead instead of Detroit, which won the Central the last 3 seasons. Over in the NL the big story is the Cincinnati Reds, who after years of mediocrity are the class of the NL thanks it large part to us, with the trades of Jack Leiter and Jeff Baker (who's pitched almost as well as Leiter) and former Rays farmhand Victor Barillas who leads them with 14 HR and 44 RBI. Also as far as the leaders go, note that Eloy Jimenez had 9 homers for Houston before his trade to Colorado in May, meaning he has a whopping 34 HR at the midway point. Eloy in Coors is a definite threat to the HR record, at least the pre-Barry Bonds record.

Here's where the team stats stand:

First in almost everything, as expected. Our baserunning is down this year as it seems we've had a lot of guys thrown out at the plate this year. Also our team defense, which had rebounded back to mediocre in recent seasons, is bad again but we need to have some kind of flaw. At 67-14, we're obviously outplaying our Pythagorean record, and we've also played 15 more home than road games.

I wasn't joking when I said I'd just give everyone an A+ as I really am going to skip the position-by-position rundown.

The WAR numbers for our rotation would be good for a full season, let alone half a one which is the main reason why this team is even better than previous versions. I should also use Rodolfo Rivas as a pitcher more.
