Altuve is erupting right now

deemsterz33 · 07-24-2017, 09:56 PM

If he keeps this up, he's gotta be AL MVP front runner?

imbluestreak23 · 07-24-2017, 09:58 PM

too bad he doesn't have Correa hype

seabass97166 · 07-24-2017, 10:05 PM

Gotta be MVP front runner now. I'm looking for a 2011 Hope Diamond Anniversary /60 if anybody has a lead!

shortstopguy12 · 07-24-2017, 10:06 PM

I have 11 Topps Update RC's and I can't decide at what price point to sell them to maximize profit, but not be greedy at the same point.. they are just slowly but continually going up. Going to around $15 now... what do they end at this season?

over Judge? yeah right.

Bob Loblaw · 07-24-2017, 10:11 PM

Yeah, but it's against the Phillies pitching. How impressive is that?

There have been MVPs that have done it with minimal power and RBI numbers. If he stays in the .350+ 20+HR and 80+ RBIs, that is a legit MVP line.

PejaD · 07-24-2017, 10:14 PM

Only challenger may be the more than a foot taller Judge. If they finish 1 and 2, it has to be the greatest height disparity between winner and runner-up for the MVP.

Dont use quotations if you're going to put words in my mouth. Looks lazy...

Is that line really better than Judge if he continues pace and does .320 50+hr 120+rbi??

seabass97166 · 07-24-2017, 10:16 PM

OPS 1.000 and 21 SBs batting .363

Slugging .570

Well, no. I was just answering the statement that Altuve could not be the front runner on avg. alone. If Judge finishes with an avg over .300 45+ HR and 100+ RBI, that would likely lock it up.

If leading the league in Home runs and strikeouts won MVP's Chris Davis and Mark Trumbo would have MVP Awards. Judge won't be winning any award not named Rookie of the Year.

Springer hurt now so maybe he won't see much to hit. Guys a threat regardess.

He is hitting .310. Who cares if he strikes out 200 times? He is batting nearly .500 when he puts balls in play. That's a historic average.

Are you really comparing Judge to Trumbo? lol

I'm not going anywhere near your mouth. Smells too much like Aaron Judge.

I think Adam Dunn is a better comparison
