Dude hit another HR last night in NYY win. Batting .338 leading the AL for batting title. But what’s most impressive is his all around game. Case in point...

1) Defensive Versatility - Classic Utility value having played 3B, 2B and 1B and wine 3 Golden Gloves

2) Best Lead off Hitter with power numbers - 20 Dingers and 83 RBI’s from lead off position is amazing.

3) Batting Title - .338 BA leads the AL.

4) Leadership - came to NYY and quickly established himself as a clubhouse leader that is respected amongst his teammates and a pretty intense fan base and ruthless media.

Are you in the military?

Your evaluation, reads like a Navy eval/fit-rep.

I like it!

Even if i take off the purple and gold glasses and my love for LSU guys, he is objectively right there in the MVP race.

Eta Bregman as well.

LeMehieu is having an amazing year and building a great case, but it’s Trout’s award to lose.

Trout is MVP and it’s not close.

Boegarts, Bregman, and Chapman have as good or better chances for 2nd than DJ.

DJ is having a wonderful year but don’t fool yourself. Trout is on a whole different level.

He's in the first year of a two year contract. Do they give him a big extension? He's getting up there in age.

Current odds

Trout= -1000

DJ= +800

Bregs= +1200


Crazy two LSU guys are 2nd and 3rd in the race

Unfortunately, everyone seems to be jumping on the Mike Trout bandwagon. DJ will finish second. I hope I’m wrong tho.

Still 35 games left. Anything can happen.
Yankees lead the League in win pct and games won. DJ is part of the reason why.
Oh and go Yankees!

Regardless of MVP consideration, it's great to see DJ getting the national press recognition, that should have, but didn't come his way while in Colorado.

Don't forget about Michael Brantley of the Astros whose stats are almost equal to LeMahieu's and are better than anyone overall on the team.

He is having a great year but who would you give the MVP to of the following three players?

118 G, .298 Avg, 99 R, 27 2B, 41 HR, 96 RBI, 10 SB, 98 BB, 102 K, .444 OBP, .667 SLG, 1.110 OPS

118 G, .275 Avg, 92 R, 25 2B, 29 HR, 80 RBI, 4 SB, 91 BB, 65 K, .405 OBP, .550 SLG, .955 OPS

111 G, .338 Avg, 86 R, 27 2B, 20 HR, 83 RBI, 4 SB, 36 BB, 67 K, .386 OBP, .538 SLG, .925 OPS
