Who will win AL and NL MVP?


Mini Buddah -Fantasy Guru


AL - Miguel Cabrera - This year can be legendary for Cabrera, potentially putting up numbers that would make  Albert Pujols drool. Not only is Cabrera durable(30 missed games over the past 8 seasons combined), he is the most consistentpure hitter in baseball. And now you’re adding protection behind him with Prince Fielder?To put that into perspective, Cabrera has averaged a .332 BA/34 HR/111 RBI linesince 2009 with no protection in the lineup (unless you consider Jhonny Peraltaa threat?). Now you add a similar pure hitter in Fielder and pitchers areforced to pitch to Cabrera. He’s got MVP wrapped up in my mind.


NL - Justin Upton.  See my full write-up on why here: http://www.dailyshootout.com/2012/03/mini-buddha-fantasy-gurus-2012-fantasy.html

For AL MVP, Evan Longoria has a good shot at getting AL MVP this year.  He was injured last season and still had career highs in walks and career lows in strikeouts.  He is in his prime at age 26 and a phenomenal fielder.  Combining fielding with hitting for average and power on a contending team and what more could you want?

For NL MVP, Joey Votto has it.  I can’t explain it any better than this:

AL: Albert Pujols- I think Evan Longoria will have a better year, but I think the Angels will have the AL’s best record behind that stellar rotation and Albert will get credit for carrying the offense. 

NL: TroyTulowitzki- I think the Rockies may steal this division, and Tulo will play a huge part. I expect 30 HRs 100 RBI and a Gold Glove

In the AL I'll take Albert Pujols as I expect an increase in power at Angel Stadium. I also think the Angel's lineup is better than advertised and Pujols will have plenty of RBI opportunities. 

In the NL I'll go with Justin Upton as I think he will have a monster 2012. A 40 homer, 20 steal season is not out of the question for Upton.
