MLB Leaders in All Major Categories
The Q Beat
Here are the MLB leaders as of June 8… It looks like Mark Teixeira was worth the money, Carl Crawford is still really fast, Roy Halladay is still the best pitcher that no one talks about, the Phillies are loving Raul Ibanez right 
now and not missing Pat Burrell, Adrian Gonzalez is still lighting it up in SD, and Tim Lincecum has continued where he left off last season.
