Who are you most pleased by so far in the 2010 MLB season

Robinson Cano, if he keeps it up he may win the batting title and maybe MVP.

Because the Royals, against my counsel, dumped him for 36 yo slap hitter Jason Kendall... I am glad to see Miguel Olivo leading the NL catchers in SLUG, and leading or among the leaders in RBI, HR, AVG, OBP, Runs, and runners caught stealing.

Incidentally, another catcher the Royals non-tendered was John Buck who is leading all ML catchers with 12 HRs. And Buck leads all catchers with 38 RBI. Buck is 2nd and Olivo 3rd in all of Major League Baseball for slugging percentage at catcher with at least 100 ABs.

Kendall meanwhile is only throwing out just 23% of base stealers (Olivo is like 54% caught), Kendall has committed 8 errors vs Olivo's 3 and Buck's 1, and Kendall is slugging just .315.

So I am very pleased by Buck and especially Olivo proving me right over the Royals brain-trust.

Only 2 categories I can find in which Kendall leads Buck and Olivo... Games Played and Salary!
