First in home runs (12) and second in RBI (34), while sporting a .368 batting average, Walt Halladay should top everyone's list as the AL MVP to date. Scranton is off to the best start in the AL, posting a 15-6 record to lead the AL North.
#2
Sporting not only one of baseball's best names, but also one of baseball's best curveballs, Cradle has been solid for Colorado, dominating despite pitching in Coors. His stat line to date, 4-0 with an ERA of 2.08 and a WHIP of 1.32. Cradle is a big reason Colorado is tied atop the AL West.
#3
Is there a more complete player than Cincinnatti's Harold Kinney? With a .306 average, 7 home runs, and 13 stolen bases (in 13 attempts), Kinney continues to establish himself as the ultimate offensive weapon. With Cincinnatti struggling at the bottom of the division Kinney will need to post mammoth numbers (like last year's 30+ home runs and 90+ stolen bases) to win the MVP award.
#4
While Scranton's Homer Page might be more dominant, it's the way Nicholas Cooper is getting saves that is impressive. He's 8 for 8 in save situations (same as Page), however he's pitched 11 innings to this point, whereas Page is being used more sparingly (5.2 innings).
#5
Even factoring in the park benefits of Coor's Field, Max Tejada has been a great hitter thus far in Season 4. Tejada's line to date, 7 home runs, 35 RBI, and a .379 average. Once again Colorado is tied on top of the division, and the overachieving Tejada is a big reason why.
