A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report #53...the TOP 5 AL MVP Candidates...Who will be in the Running in September...MIGGY of the D and the NATURAL of the BALLPARK in ARLINGTON to name few.

The Battle for the 2012 AL MVP will be between maybe Red Sox Player, a Ranger, a Tiger, and Two Angels Player that is not named Albert.  A few of the so called Front Runners have cooled down right before All-Star Break but still have a chance to make this list.

The Top 5 AL MVP Candidates is sponsored by...if you Cool Down now you might be hurting your Team if your in the MVP Race so stay amped up by a Heavy Dose of your Favorite Bangers in your I-Pod and just Relax. Remember if your out at Night and here Last Call a little too much your Done:

3B Miguel Cabrera Tigers aka Miggy
.326 avg  19 Bombs 72 Ribbies  .565 Slg%  .384 OBP

With Prince in that Lineup also he has seen Pitches and has hit all of them. His Average has went down a little right before All-Star Break but he is such a Good Hitter he will be Top in the race all season.

LF Josh Hamilton Rangers aka the Natural of Ballpark in Arlington
.307 avg  27 Bombs 75 Ribbies  .630 Slg% .379 OBP

Has tapered off and was the Shoe in AL MVP in April and may now that Injury Bug has entered the Hamilton Bandwagon. If he can get back on Track and stay away from the Injury Bug Hamilton will be in the Running and that looks like a Big If.

CF Mike Trout Angels aka the Orange County Trout
.344 avg 12 Bombs 40 Ribbies .565 Slg%  .398 OBP  *Bonus 28 Bags (Stolen Bases)

He looks like a plays like Former Halos and Redbirds Star Jim Edmonds from a Preparation and Demeanor Standpoint....smooth, calm, collective, and looks the part. He has picked up where the Orange County Freeway Hammer Albert Pujols hasn't got on yet. He will be in the Running and he is my Sleeper.

RF Mike Trumbo aka the Big Trumbo
.308 avg 23 Bombs 60 Ribbies  .616 Slg% .360 OBP

Another player that has picked up the Slack from the Run Producers Location in the hitting order. Trumbo looks like Former Halos Legend Tim Salmons from a Hitting Perspective. He has Pop to all Fields and sees the Ball and hits the ball. Trumbo is my Odds on Favorite to Win the AL MVP.

DH/1B David Ortiz Red Sox aka Big Papi
.313  23 Bombs 58 Ribbies  .616 Slg%  .410 OBP

In a Season that will probably be a Wash for the carmines Big Papi has rose to the Occasion and carried the Carmines in the 1st Half. The Only issue with Papi is that they may start to pitch around him as there is no one really protecting him the Red Sox Line up. Ortiz could stay hot as he has been hot for quite sometime.

Who would've thunk it Two Halos Players and none of them Big Albert Pujols in the Top 5 Candidates to get 2012 AL MVP. Also watch for Robbie Cano Bombers, Paulie Konerko Pale Hose, Austin Jackson Tigers, Adrian Beltre Rangers, and Alex Rios Pale Hose.
