• Blaine Moore from Rochester is the only player flirting with hitting .400 .  He is currently hitting .411
• Carlos Zorilla from Oklahoma City has been intentionally walked 13 times this season.   Holy smokes! The next highest is 7.
• Most pinch hits this season, Kevin Griffith's from Philadelphia.  He has 13 pinch hits this season. 
• Best hitting pitcher this season(Minimum 15 AB's): Benny Villano from Seattle is hitting .367
• Pitcher, Lee Coveleski from Milwaukee  has given up the most home runs so far this season with 18
• Why is this guy even on a major league roster?  Al Galvez,   Helena, Career #'s:  25-90 record, 7.90 ERA, 2.11 WHIP
• Just an FYI-  Don't put a left handed thrower at 2B.    Someone like King Ashburn  from Phillie looks more than qualified to play 2B with his ratings.  However because he is left handed he has 15 negative plays at 2B this season. 
• Most errors so far this season: Alex Suzuki, Helena 21 errors so far this season at SS.
• Philadelphia Moneymakers have turned way less Double Plays this season than any other team.  They have 57.  The next highest is 88.
• Oklahoma City has the most blown saves this season so far with 11.
