    Hamilton, no doubt. 95 RBI'S NOW?? You can't argue against that. It's unbelievable. He's been amazing in the clutch.

    Kinsler has 83 Runs scored in July!! I would pick Kinsler over Hamliton right now. I actually picked Quentin as my MVP. He has led the ChiSox to the top of the Central and without him, this team doesn't stand a chance. He has been mashing all year, especially when Konerko and Thome were missing in action.

    Hamilton
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Bradley and Morneau should be considered.

    Gotta be Hamilton. I hate voting for guys whose teams stink, but the guy is on pace for probably 40 HR and 175 RBI minimum

    I thought of Morneau but Twins fans say Mauer is their team MVP so I went with him. Bradley fails in comparison to Kinsler and Hamilton.

    Not really. I know you wouldn't want his numbers, cause you like the Angel Berroas of the world, but I'd take the fat OBP and Slugging any time of the day.

    Yes really. I know you don't know that much and just try and fail at making smartass, inaccurate comments but Kinsler and Hamilton tower over Bradley and play everyday. Hard to have three MVP candidates. You can have the DH, I'll take more valuable players. "Here's something else Zito is dead ass wrong about".

    Hamilton, whose career once was in a serious doubt. 95 RBIs for his team that is ranked third in AL West? Wow! Yeah, it's like a powerhouse or something in the West.
