NL: This race is wide open.

I can think of a few Mets who qualify . . . for other teams.

AL: Granderson isn't hitting for high enough average, but Cano has come on real strong lately. Does Verlander even garner votes being a pitcher? Do Gonzalez and Elsbury cancel each other out? Michael Young has got to be given some consideration.

NL: This race is wide open.

In the AL, you could consider three Tigers:

Verlander
23 W
5 L
236 IP
53 BB
238 K
2.36 ERA
0.92 WHIP
.192 BAA

Miguel Cabrera
.334 BA
26 HR
97 RBI
.438 OBP
.563 SLG
1.001 OPS
102 Runs
100 BB (20+ intentional)
44 Doubles

José Valverde
44 Saves
0 Blown Saves
65.1 IP
33 BB
60 K
2.48 ERA
1.22 WHIP
.199 BAA

Cabrera should receive plenty of consideration as well. Not sure how I missed him.

Congrats to the Tigers!
I know I would be excited too if my team took near a quarter century to finally win the division,
no matter how weak that division is!

kelmac07 · 09-17-2011, 11:22 AM

Congrats to the Tigers and their fans.

Tigers celebrated with cigars also. Not sure what brand they are but it looks like some form of Ashtons.

You don't get it, Dom. See, they print up those shirts and caps before the fact, since they have to have them handy. When a team loses, the merchandise is normally shipped off as a charitable contribution to some Third World location . . . like Philadelphia.

BTW, I hope my Tigers whip some Yankee A$$ in the post season.

For the Tigers fans out there. Gruff old skipper enjoying a stogie during the divisional champ celebration and getting a little choked up.

The White Sox released managaer Ozzie Guillen from his contract tonight. They expect compsensation if he signs as a manager for 2012, as he was committed to the WS for one more season. I expect him to be managing the Marlins in '12.

Now let's go Angels!
