MVP Watch Week 2

Lets have a look at the guys I consider to be contenders for MVP and see how they did this week. Each week I recap their week using these stats: Hits/HRs/SB/BA/OBP/SLG/R/K/BB/Team Record for Week.

NL
Pujols: 8/1/2/.400/.500/.750/4/1/4/5-1
H-Ram: 7/0/1/.318/.423/.318/3/1/3/3-3
Howard: 11/5/0/.393/.433/1.000/5/8/2/4-3
Braun: 8/2/0/.267/.303/.500/5/9/1/4-3
Fielder: 7/3/0/.259/.375/.593/4/4/5/4-3

Rank (This weeks score in parenthesis)
Pujols: 70 (44)
Howard: 68 (37)
H-Ram: 63 (29)
Braun: 62 (25)
Fielder: 53 (30)

Pujols rebounded nicely, as did Ryan Howard. Funny that Braun did not strike out at all last week, and this week he struck out 9 times (in less games). Not a very good week.

AL
Mauer: 5/0/0/.200/.200/.200/2/3/0/4-2
Morneau: 3/1/0/.136/.240/.364/3/5/3/4-2
Crawford: 2/0/1/.143/.133/.143/1/2/0/2-2
Texeira: 5/1/0/.208/.286/.375/4/5/3/4-2
Abreu: 3/1/1/.136/.286/.273/5/3/5/2-4

Rank
Mauer: 83 (36)
Texeira: 72 (45)
Abreu: 68 (41)
Crawford: 61 (31)
Morneau: 57 (38)

What a worthless span of games. How the hell do you have a lower OBP than BA?? What the hell were you doing this week Carl Crawford. Seriously, no wonder we started discussing Jeter and Morales. Anyways, Mauer still seems to be in the lead (especially in my super scientific made up ranking system). I almost wanted to dock Abreu points for having a losing record. It is funny that I started this to keep track, mainly to help argue for Mauer, but if the AL guys keep playing like this, who cares who wins.

It seems like the NL could actually become a race. Pujols seemed to be a lock, but who knows (this was about the point last year where the Dunn/Howard argument started, which at the time was an okay argument, until Howard decided to destroy baseballs for all of September...could he be setting up to do it again?)
