Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka has regained the lead among American League pitchers, with 8.7 Box-Toppers points. He is in third place overall and passes last week’s AL pitching leader, Max Scherzer of the Tigers (7.7 Box-Toppers points).
Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers has taken the lead among AL batters with 6.5 Box-Toppers points. He passes Chris Colabello of the Twins (5.2 Box-Toppers points), who had led AL batters for the first eight weeks of the season. After a hot start, Colabello went into a slump and was sent to the Twins AAA minor league affiliate. He drops to third place among AL batters.
Cabrera is currently in 12th place among all players in Box-Toppers points. He led AL batters in 2013 with 16.9 Box-Toppers points.
