Last year's leader in triples was Dexter Fowler with 14.

Jose Reyes already has 11 triples this year.

He also has 19 stolen bases.

No player has ever gone 30-30 in these two categories.

In 1925, Kiki Cuyler had 26 triples with 41 stolen bases.

In 1912, Joe Jackson had 26 triples with 35 stolen bases.

Modern day, the closest was Curtis Granderson with 23 triples and 26 stolen bases.

Reyes has more triples than 13 other Major League teams.



Justin Smoak has knocked himself in more than his teammates. He has 10 home runs and 19 runs scored.



Adam Dunn has 229 plate appearances.

In 119 of those plate appearances he has failed to hit a fair ball.

Power-wise, Pablo Sandoval matches Dunn's total of five home runs.



Drew Stubbs has seen more pitches than any other player this year, 1176.

Unfortunately, most have gone by him for strikes. He leads baseball with 81 strike outs.



The Giants are leading their division while only averaging 3.6 runs per game. Only the Padres have scored less runs.



How bad is Oakland's power output this year?

Josh Willingham, David DeJesus, and Kurt Suzuki, none known for prodigous power, account for 56% of the club's home runs.



The New York Yankees have 88 home runs. The closest team to that total is the Detroit Tigers with 72.

Yet, it is Boston who leads the Majors in total bases. The Yankees are seventh in total bases, Detroit 11th.

Despite these American League teams flexing their muscles, it is Cincinnati and St. Louis who lead baseball in runs scored.



Ian Kinsler is hitting .123 on the road this year, with one home run.



Who hits left handers for the best average?

Another left hander.

Joey Votto is hitting .418 vs. lefties

'Just' .309 vs. righties



Mark Trumbo, JP Arencibia, Danny Espinoza, and Eric Hosmer all have a chance at winning Rookie of the Year, but take a look at these two pitching lines.



77ip, 76k's, 6w's, 1.00 whip, 2.33 era

71ip, 50k's, 7w's, 1.12 whip, 2.64 era



The top line is Michael Pineda, the bottom is Jeremy Hellickson.

The American League Rookie of the Year will be a dogfight.

Good stuff Dan. At the rate he's going, we may have to change the phrase "Free Agent Year" to "Having A Reyes."
