Biggest Surprise: Blue Jays
Very few expected the Blue Jays to be in first place in the stacked AL East coming into this season. Roy Halladay is pitching the lights out and Aaron Hill has provided the sparks with the bat. I think the Blue Jays will be in the postseason equation when October rolls around.
Biggest Disappointment: Rays
The defending AL champs are just 18-20 to start off with and have only provided small glimpses of the team they were last season. There's still plenty of time to get their act together, but they need to pick it up quick otherwise that division lead is just going to grow with the Red Sox and the Blue Jays at the top of the division.
Best Pitcher: Zack Greinke (Royals)
Greinke edged out Roy Halladay thanks to his remarkable 0.60 ERA. He's also 7-1 and has played a huge role in turning the Royals into contenders this season.
Best Hitter: Evan Longoria (Rays)
Longoria already has 46 RBI's and 11 HR's and may be the only reason the Rays still have a chance at getting back into the thick of things. Not to mention he's on pace to hit 199 RBI's. Even though that probably won't happen he still gets the early season award for best hitter in the AL.
