I can't find the poll (on mobile) but the Pirates have to be on there.

Other. Pirates best record in baseball

Cabrera has a legitimate shot at a second straight Triple Crown.
The best thing about that is that I don't think anybody should be surprised if he gets it again.

One triple crown season is incredible, making a run at two - back to back - is about as dominant as it gets.
If it wasn't for Cabrera's season last year, I'd also say Chris Davis. Both do it day in and out.

Pirates ownership having the balls to say if Cole was sent back down it wouldn't be because of money

Wandy Rodriguez had a setback. Looks like Cole is staying.
Plus, it would only be ballsy if they actually admitted it was about the money.

Ditto. Half way through the season, he's on pace for something almost unprecedented. It's possibly he could have a 60 2B-60 HR season....right now he's on pace for 50 2b and 60 HR.

Davis IMO. I thought the pirates would be good. The last three years they have been getting better and better.

Pirates and Miguel are neck and neck at the top.
Davis is a distant third.

I picked Scherzer's 12-0. Even though W/L for pitchers is more of a team stat (and therefore partially composed of luck) going 12-0 is not a fluke when you're among league leaders in peripherals as well, and it hasn't been done for almost 30 years.
It would hands down be Cabrera's Triple Crown hopes, but Davis is going to make that extremely difficult on him so I'm not sure I see it happening unless something happens to slow Davis. I'd love to see him hit a legit 60 homers but I don't think that's going to happen either. This is an extremely difficult pace to keep, especially because pitchers will start pitching around and walking him more in the 2nd half.
The Pirates' record is definitely impressive too, but the last few years they've been in the running early and have fallen off in the 2nd half so I'd like to see them 'prove it' for a few more months before we get too excited about their success.

Gotta be Miggy's season, just unreal.
But the emergence of the Pirates' pitching has been most surprising. For their fans' sake, and they do deserve it, I hope they can keep it up. But with the offense being inconsistent, I'm pretty skeptical...

I voted Miggy for most impressive, but i think the winner of most surprising start of 2013 would go to Patrick Corbin 9-0 2.22 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP and 85 k's.
