As noted previously the Rays have opened up quite the lead in the AL East. Their perennial roadblock Houston is also looking good for the playoffs so nobody's getting too excited yet.
As one might expect there's excellence all around in these numbers, unless strikeouts are the be-all and end-all of your statistical love because in that case the Rays strike out more than anyone else but their pitchers don't strike out that many. Of course the pitchers don't need to because the defense is elite again, led by perennial Gold Glove SS
Jeremy Begley.
D-Rod and Begley look like they'll battle each other (and some other guys) for AL MVP while we have an entire lineup's worth of position players on pace for at least 3 WAR (Fitzgerald's overall WAR including his time in Milwaukee is 2.4). The skunk at the party is Fisher, who has battled injuries and relative ineffectiveness, but Ramirez and (over the last week) Gardener have produced in his stead.
And the pitching is just as much fun to look at with the entire rotation having fine seasons - in fact our longtime ace Morales is probably the weakest link so far but he's been really good of late as well after getting off to a bad start. And when Espinoza went down Burns has stepped right in and not missed a beat. The only weakness here is the setup relief where Kelly and the recently-acquired Farrior have struggled, especially with the home run ball. That was the story with Lewis last year but he's rebounded to have an incredible season and took over the closer's role from Kelly. The middle guys have been very good though.
The farm system isn't too bad for a team which perennially drafts at the end of the first round, with some highly regarded pitching prospects dominating the top of the list. Not shown here is the depth at Durham with several mid-20s guys ready to step in to the big club like Solorzano, Maldonado and Vroom (ok, he is listed).
