AL Central: Week in Review

After an exciting week of Tribe baseball, let's take a look at the American League Central Division standings

 WLPCTGB
Detroit1911.633-
Kansas City1710.6300.5
Cleveland1414.5004.0
Minnesota1314.4814.5
Chi White Sox1217.4146.5



As you can see, the Indians are currently four game back of the Tigers.  Keep in mind though that the Tigers have just completed a series with the Houston Astros, which isn't much of a team to begin with.  It was a good week for the Tribe, winning 6 of their last 7, and winning the series with Minnesota.  Let's take a look at the leaders in the key categories for the Tribe.

Batting average:

Carlos Santana, .379

Mark Reynolds, .296

Michael Brantley, .284

Carlos Santana is staying red hot

Home Runs:
Mark Reynolds, 9

Carlos Santana, 6

Ryan Raburn, 4

*Carlos Santana lead the team in 2012 with 18 TOTAL home runs.

Mark Reynolds already has 9 home runs
through May 5th.

RBI's:

Mark Reynolds, 26

Carlos Santana, 14

Asdrubal Cabrera, 13


I think you're starting to see the trend here, as Mark Reynolds and Carlos Santana are providing great offensive numbers for the tribe.

What's to Come?

Stay tune tomorrow as Jimmy Flint previews the upcoming four game series against the Oakland Athletics, I'll provide you with a story on the come back of Scott Kazmir, and Jacob Mowery provides a closer look at Mark Reynolds.
