Who is your AL MVP at this point in the season?

markakis8 · Jun 29, 2012

Hard to say right now. I'm rooting for Trout - how awesome would that be? But I think right now, at this point, I would give it to Cano - ugh, hate to say that.

How about you?

If I had to rank them:

1. Cano
2. Hamilton
3. Trout
4. Konerko
5. Trumbo
6. Ortiz

Right now, I think it's Trout based on stats and team record with him in the lineup.

and im still sticking with this pick

the most clutch hitter an the entire league, just hit another walk off

here are his up to date stats so far this season

325 avg...27 hrs...91 rbis....139 hits...29 doubles

From a pure numbers standpoint, I don't see anyone but Trout or Cabrera winning MVP. They have different kinds of numbers so it's difficult to directly compare: Trout obviously plays the speed game with average, SB and a nice showing of power. Cabrera hits for average and power, but his value comes with driving in runs rather than stealing bases.

Even though they've underperformed to this point in the season, I think the Tigers will still easily win the AL Central. I think it'll be an uphill climb for the Angels to catch Texas, but they're right in the Wild Card race regardless, so both players may end up on playoff teams.

It'll be a close race and a fun one to follow down the stretch.

Pretty large omission not having Miggy on this list. He is a solid #2 behind Trout right now IMO.

I thought I would be the only one to mention Miggy. :lol:

Too bad for Willingham is team is SO far out of it, having a great year...

And IF Weaver keeps up this kinda pace, he might take some votes from the fellow Halos.

Id say Cabrera wins and Trout finishes second

mlbsalltimegreats · Aug 5, 2012

Cabrera will and deserves to will it this year!

The thread was made a month and a half ago. A lot has changed since then.

It's an obvious race between Trout and Miggy now.

If he continues to play at the level he has played all year, I can't see it being anyone other than Trout. His WAR of 7.3 is first to Cano's 5.2, and Cabrera is 4th with 4.6 (Verlander is 3rd). He is leading the league in BA, OPS+, runs, and stolen bases.

I agree with you. But here's something to consider. If Pujols hits like he has the past two months in August and September and finishes with .310 AVG, 40+ HR 120+ RBI and Trumbo has more than 40 homers, do they take votes away from Trout and Miggy sneaks in?

LOL-whoops.

That would explain it, my bad.

Yes that will happen and frankly i want to see what Trout will do next year? Will he be a Pablo Sandoval or a Joey Votto! Obviously better speed than those guys but im talking with the bat. I certianly dont want to crown the dude a superstar until he does it 4-5 years in a row. I still think miggy will squeak it out only because of what was said above.

Trout

Tough to argue against Trout.

In a couple months though, who knows? A player could make a huge run from here on out. Baseball is a crazy game like that.

its gotta be trout, he turned that teams season around
