hell yeah!

So if miggy wins the triple crown this year, is he a lock for mvp?

If he wins the triple crown he is a LOCK. I doubt he gets the HR title though.

I'd say he's MVP right now. Trout has been struggling for a bit now.

Jackson leads off with a bloop single down right,

Dirks takes outside, Jackson running and ground ball to second safe at second throw is to first,

Cabrera fouls it back, fly to deep right and it's gone for a 2 run homer for Miggy,

With the first-inning, 2-run home run, Cabrera is now leading the AL in hitting at .331

Cabrera leads the American League with 17 home runs and 44 RBI after the All-Star break.

Nothing is a lock if we miss the playoffs.

Leading a team to the post-season is one of the most important things to many of the voters.

There are actually several TC winners who did not win the MVP in the same season. Williams and Gehrig among them.

Fister looking sharp.

Ted Williams and maybe another player who was a Triple Crown Winner and didn't win the MVP.

I mentioned Gehrig as well. And Hornsby, but there was no MVP named one of the years that he won the TC.

Yes, in 1934.

Yep, 1947 is still considered the biggest snub of all time?

Williams beat DiMaggio in nearly every category, and by a good deal in many.

1947
Joe Dimaggio- 97 R, 20 HR, 97 RBI, .315 Avg, 168 H, 31 2B, .391 OB
Ted Williams- 125 R, 32 HR, 114 RBI, .343 Avg, 181 H, 40 2B, .499 OB

1962. Wills over Mays was thievery of the highest order. Not one-upping, just piling on.

and also 1942 to Joe Gordon
The writers really give the first place clubs' best player alot more consideration.

If Miggy wins the triple crown will he also make Keith Law's top 5 mvp list then?

He has to win it convincingly.

 

[kalinecountry]

We saw that in 2010 with Hamilton/Cabrera.

And it didn't matter that Hamilton missed 30+ games, his team went to the post season.

keith law is too full of himself to eat crow and admit his top 5 was dumb.
