With just about twenty percent of the MLB season completed, the A’s remain atop the American League West Division by one game over the Seatle Mariners. It’s the slimmest of leads and with so munch of the season still to go, it’s still a meaningless position.

So, looking back what do you think is the biggest positive so far this season. To me it’s Shea Langeliers doing exactly what we hoped he would do; build on last season’s success and improve his game this year. At the end of the day today, he’s tied for second in all baseball with thirty-eight hits, tied for fifth in the MLB with eight homers and is batting .314 with a .933 OPS. Kotsay moves him all over the upper half of the lineup and he performs daily.

Aaron Civale leads the starters in ERA with a 3.23, followed by J.T. Ginn at 3.24 and then Jeffrey Springs at 3.79. Springs leads the club in Wins and Quality Starts with three of each and most innings pitched so far with 35.2. What surprises AN readers most about this year’s pitching?
