Gonzalez has hit 3 HRs in the past 2 games I believe. So it'll likely go right down to the wire.

As far as playoffs, I'm a Yankees fan but the "sawx" are still in 1st place and with Lester & Beckett leading the rotation they will be tough to beat. Yanks have CC but a big dropoff from there. Sure Nova is pitching well but he's young and unproven in the playoffs. Can you rely on Colon and Garcia? I wouldn't rely on Hughes right now thats for sure.

Crawford's bat is heating up too. Other than the injury to Bucholz (and Nancy Drew in RF, but thats expected), Boston has managed to stay healthy most of the year.

Fun time of the year!

I saw that Gonzalez hit two last night. He of course leads by a wide margin in batting average, but Granderson is on a pace to hit over 40 HR, about 125 RBI, and close to 150 runs scored. So his numbers are huge. Either way they should be 1-2 in the voting.
