I'm starting to think that maybe none of them is as good as Miguel Cabrera. Does anyone else but me think he may win back-to-back Triple Crowns?

Hi Barry,

Cabrera pulling off that nearly unthinkable feat is certainly within the realm of possibilty and I think he may actually accomplish it.

His current Triple Crown stats:

.391 BA (1st - by a mile)
14 HR (2nd - and only one off the leader)
55 RBI (1st - with a comfortable lead)

Hope all is well.

Best Regards,

Eric

Miguel Cabrera is a beast, always has been. I hoped the mets would of gotten him, but no traded to DET, wtf. lol Omar loved this guy. Ayway, at only 30 years old hes got a shot at making a run at some of the best hitters of all time if he keeps it up.

I think barring injury he's even odds to do it.

I think theres a shot. The 2 main factors being how big of a lead can he get with this current hot streak and who will challenge him in HRs later in the season. Cabrera does sacrifice power for contact, especially with 2 strikes resulting in lots of solid hitting and few les HRs which is great. He is an amazing hitter, the best I have seen in Detroit in my 29 years of memory. He adjusts to pitchers, knows how to make contact, drives the ball the other day, hits off-speed and hits for clutch. He hits over .500 BA w/ runners in scoring position this year and has been for awhile now.

Cabrera typically has sub-standard at-bats earlier in the year and owns the month of September in the past few years. He has a nice RBI lead and its grown with Jackson outta the line-up. I am glad he is a Tiger and definitely think he can repeat as triple crown...and repeat MVP!

He can do the .avg and RBI, I'm hesitant on HRs though. Take away his 3 HR game against the Rangers and he ranks 11th.

We could make a pool on will he, won't he.

I say no, Mauer will top him in BA. Winning three in a row is tough, and a hot streak like that for two straight years in astronomical.

Will abmit I am a little biased to Mauer, and I view Mauer as a better hitter (different type of hitter, don't need to blast me about RBI's and HR's).

One of my dreams in my lifetime was to be around for someone to win the Triple Crown, and that happened.
