Trout is just unbelievable. He really would have to be the AL MVP at this point.
Ahem. I think Cabrera, Cano, Hamilton and Ortiz would all place ahead of him in voting and that's not even considering pitchers (who I think shouldn't be considered anyway). But there's nothing wrong with 5th place.

In addition to his (ridiculous but unsustainable) hitting numbers, Trout plays excellent defense at a premium position and is a great baserunner. Cabrera sucks at both of those things. Ortiz doesn't play defense and it's arguable that you could consider him a "baserunner." Obviously Cano and Hamilton are great but I'd still vote for Trout at this point, even with 20 fewer games played.

I agree on Cabrera as far as defense goes and you are right that Ortiz is more of a base than a base runner.
But Trout currently is ranked 35th in CF fielding percentage and has no assists. Does he have an arm and people afraid to run on him or is it just that he has a chicken wing? He made a nice highlight reel catch but he doesn't seem to be anything special in CF. I just think that calling him the front-runner for MVP is quite a stretch.

Enjoying having the yanks with the best record at the half. Excited for the all star break but I wish fans didn't vote on the starting lineup. David Wright having an MVP type year means he should be starting.
Boston will be .500 at the break. Not bad considering most of the team has been on the DL at some point or another. That and the wildly inconsistent play by some players and the team as a whole.
This is the Red Sox I knew growing up: getting slaughtered by the Yankees, talking tons of shit, and weird drama all the time. And wildly inconsistent performance on the field.
Bobby Jenks is finally gone... what a bust. Now for Dice-K, Crawford, and Lackey.
I know there's a lot of season to go but it looks like this second wild card is going to be crazy in the AL. I hope they have the tie breakers all figured out.

I'm just proud so many of my Rangers are on the team and I voted for Yu to get there too. Games here are selling out like crazy. Totally got a steal of a deal the other day and got 4 "free" tickets and 6 "buy one get one free" packages for $40. Needless to say I'll be spending the entire months of Aug and Sept in attendance.
So 16 tickets for $40 to see one of the best teams in baseball.. How does that even happen?
Honestly I'm not sure! I was at work the other day and this girl came around selling these packages, and they're totally legit. It's kind of a pain because you have to go to the box office and order your tickets and they mail them to you, but still worth it for $40. And considering "Standing Room Only" at the stadium is $25, it's a steal!!!!
If any Inforoosters are in the area or want to come down for a game I'd be happy to take you!
I pay like 60 bucks for one middle of the road seat at Fenway. Geez.
Our middle of the road tickets are usually about that price too, some games are much higher. What else is crazy about this deal is that all the tickets are lower level. They are more towards the outfield, but nonetheless, lower level.
really?? who told you this? i'm splitting rangers season tickets this year with some other people and i've gone to 4 games so far this summer and not a single one was even close to selling out....thousands of empty seats.
Trout is just unbelievable. He really would have to be the AL MVP at this point.
I've been wondering if I'd be able to root for Lawrie if he was still with the Brewers. Usually I don't give two sh*ts about what a player is like off the field if he's good, but he's just SO much of an jerkstore that I don't know if I could justify rooting for him. I mean just look at this.
At least the worst thing about Braun is his terrible clothing line.
I think the worst part is that he's clearly playing Edward 40 Hands wrong. WTF?

Seen it on tv a few times, read it in the newspaper that there has been several sell-out games and every game I've gone to so far has either nearly been sold out or was sold out. Maybe I'm wrong but I know they have at the very least been drawing huge crowds all season. And remember, come July and Aug the crowd size goes down a little due to the heat. Did you make it to opening day?

Didn't enjoy that game at all. I hate it when a major/different kind of game isn't even close. i.e what happened today or a Super Bowl match up with no competition.

Yount retired when I was like 6, I don't really count that.
Sheets had the combination of being really good, underrated, and just a funny dude. His 2004 season was nuts and was what really propelled me into such a big baseball fan.
