September 3, 201015 yr Something kind of funny..... I post on another site and I mentioned my top 3 MVP candidates... I said Hamilton, Cano, and Konerko, with Hamilton winning easily. And about 2-3 Blue Jays fans jumped all over me saying Konerko is barely a top 10, and Bautista should be considered in the top 3. Then I mentioned how the Sox actually have a shot at the playoffs, and the Blue Jays are buried in the standings and for the past half a page it's been "Yeah, I wish we played in the s***ty ALC" and "The Sox would be a .500 team in the East" and all this s*** that does not even matter to my original point. LOL. It's been a headache. I guess it's true that no one outside of Sox fans recognize Konerko as an elite player this year.

You don't even have to go very deep in the statistics to discover that Konerko is EASILY top-5, probably top-3. In fact, all you have to do is go to mlb.com and check the tabs in the League Leaders box right on the homepage. Go through the tabs for AL and he's on everything except BA. Poor Toronto fans. Maybe they're having trouble converting RBI's into metric.
September 3, 201015 yr A lot of Konerkos votes depend on the next three weeks for the Sox. If they can catch Minnesota and Konerko stays solid, he will make up some ground. If we don't catch the Twins, he is probably looking at third or fourth.
