AL MVP Race

[ChrisCavalier]

Would anyone like to provide their opinions on the possible AL MVP race? I would have to think Josh Hamilton is the leading contender by virtue of the season he is having and the Rangers looking like they will win their division. Does anyone esle have a differing opinion....Cabrera, Bautista (despite his BA), Konerko?

I would love to hear what others think.

Thanks,
Chris

Chris I agree on Josh Hamilton but as the other ones you mentioned.

Bautista and Konerko have been pure beasts this season and I think thats going to play a lot into it who they pick.
I think many were expecting Konerko to start dwindling down this season and that didnt happen.
As far as Jose, well that says it all there lol - Who would of expected he would be such a HR Hitting machine. Don't get me wrong he had shown some flashes of power in his past but nothing like this.

JOSH HAMILTON no question once the Rangers clinch the playoffs!

I think the last month of the season will be HUGE for one of these guys to pull away & win the MVP...its just that close...right now I would have to go w/ Hamilton too, followed by Cabrera, Konerko & Bautista in that order..this month will tell the story.

If you look beyond hitting, getting to watch hamilton play the field everyday has been awesome. Hope hamilton wins, and i hope i get to finally go to a playoff games.

I think Hamilton has it in the bag, with Robinson Cano coming in second.

If the problems Hamilton is having with his knee don't sideline him and he continues as he has he should win. He has truly proved to be a five tool player this year. Most of the others are considered only for their hitting. Hamilton's overall game put him way head if it is considered. He is probably the only one that has scored from second base twice on an infield single.

I think J Hamilton is just day to day on the injury report isn't he?
I think its his award to lose. Will be tough to give it to MC with the tigers so far out of playoff contention.

Shubert perhaps you should quit watching the national sports media. They will do whatever it takes to help out one of their big market teams. Hes played pretty much every game this season, and his body is a little worn down. He bruised his ribcage on a play that Miggy wouldnt of even been close to making.

Hope he can finish the season. Wouldnt mind seeing him sit out for a week or even take some time on the DL, if it makes him fresh for the playoff run.
