And your AL MVP through August 2nd is...

Kendry Morales. No? Tell me who else and why.

Morneau, better numbers in every category.

Re: And your AL MVP on August 2nd is...

I personally think Morales has been the MVP of the Angels hands down, and with no one of the Red Sox or Yankees standing out, he has a chance...

Also, Aaron Hill has to be up there.

Not going to lie, I can not answer this without bias. Go Zobrist.

 

[andyduke86]

I think Longoria or Bartlett are better MVP candidates than Zobrist, especially considering defensive value.

Wouldn't surprise me if Mauer ends up winning though. I'd say it's a pretty open race right now, no real front runner.

 

[darocker80]

aaron hill, justin morneau, joe mauer and morales are my top picks

+1, give another vote for morneau!

 

[RudyGayExquisite]

Definitely Morneau, with Teixeira coming in a close 2nd

 

[Brett Keith]

Joe Mauer? He is 2nd in batting, 1st in OBP, and 1st in SLG%, all while playing great defense at catcher.

I can see the argument for Bartlett over Zobrist. I don't see one for Evan, especially with the slump he has hit. Like I said, I can't answer it without bias. I know he probably isn't the best candidate, but I'll support him the whole way haha.

 

[wolfmanalfredo]

Part bias, but the numbers don't lie.

Morneau:

BA .308
28 HR (1st in AL)
86 RBI (1st in AL)

Still on pace for 40HR & 120 RBI

But the Twins making the playoffs or not will definetly be weighed out

Longoria? Are you serious? Zobrist means much more imo.

I agree. I think Mauer brings more to the team as far as intangibles go than Morneau. Both are pretty sweet players though!

 

[dooly]

Mauer easily... AL leading OPS of 1.015 from the Catcher position...plus defense

morales is doing well but he's not even top 5

 

[Gellman]

Mauer has top VORP in the league, with Zobrist and Morneau a close second and third.

However, sports writers are too stupid to figure anything out other than who wins the division with the highest BA, HRs and RBI. Give me a ******* break.

 

[dutchj16]

Yeah but we can all agree that Longo will end up with better numbers than Zobrist.

 

[cowboysrule48]

He has a lot of work to do that catch what Zobrist is doing. He won't put up better numbers unless Zobrist hits a wall.

 

[dutchj16]

Yeah but do you really think Longo will have another terrible month, I could see Longo hitting around .290 with 35 hr this year. All he needs to do is get hot again.
