What is the likelyhood of this happening? Adrian Gonzalez is most certainly the front runner. IMHO, I think runs produced should be the top stat for this award. Right now, with 30 less PA Granderson has 25 more runs produced. Adrian Gonzalez is having a great year but I think Granderson is sneaking up behind him in the hunt for 2011's AL MVP award. I know its still early and a lot can happen in the next month and a half.

Are you forgetting Mr. Batista of the Toronto Blue Jays, seems to me he should have a chance too.

You are truly the Lonewolf, the only person nice enough to reply. Well, but then I guess that would make you NOT a Lonewolf, since you were communal enough to reply.

Anyhow, no doubt Mr. Bautista is having a marvelous year despite the way the pitchers are avoiding him -- which can't be done very well if you're nicely placed with protection on all sides in the middle of the Yankee or Red Sox order... But then again, people want to see a winning team that's in the playoff hunt when they think about awards. The old comment is 'If he's so good, how come his team isn't better?' Kind of a weird question when there are so many players on a baseball team. I wonder how Babe Ruth would have done without Lou Gehrig and Tony Lazzeri and Bob Meusel and Earle Combs and other guys like that batting around him?
