Our 2012 Postseason MVP

[apalradio]

One of the characteristics of this team is that there are many guys who can contribute at any given time, and it's more of a 25-man effort here than some of the past teams we've had. Hopefully, that's the recipe for our success this year and the reason we'll go all the way. However, it'll be fun to watch who emerges as the real "star" of our postseason. The guy we'll look back on as having a great October run. I'm going with Ichiro. I think he's fired up, excited, and I'm looking forward to his driving Baltimore crazy in the ALDS and beyond. Thoughts?

If he does what he's capable of, it's going to be hard for CC not to be the answer to this question, because he'll go seven strong innings and rack up a win in each of the games he starts.

On the offensive side, there are so many storylines ... Cano is obviously the beast in this lineup but also a guy that opposing managers may choose to pitch around. That will give redemption cases like A-Rod, Teixeira, and Swisher a chance to be a hero.

I do expect good things from Jeter and Ichiro and I also think there will be big moments from guys like Martin and Ibanez. Granderson is the one guy I worry about, but he's had big postseason performances before so he's certainly capable of coming up huge.

ICHIRO

The Japanese Ty Cobb

I'll take Grandesron for $100 Alex.

Nuneeeeeeeeeeeeee

What's the minimum number of games they have to win to have an M.V.P.?

[Hitman23]

I'm going with A-Rod.

[dabomb2045]

I'm going with A-Rod.

I'm with you. I dont know why but I have a feeling Alex is gonna have a great postseason.

[HerbieLee20]

Take a poll of who we'd least expect - -- go with that guy.

(a la "sleeping lion)"

[HerbieLee20]

Nuneeeeeeeeeeeeee

will probably have 3 homers including a slam, a steal of home, and only 1 error.

[dont_ya_know24]

swisher

[Benefactor]

Jeter

[longtimeyankeefan]

Russell Martin - I am predicting that he will hit .350 with 22 RBI and 10 HR this post-season

[ARodCanoMelky]

Curtis Granderson

Curtis Granderson

Eric Chavez

I say that because it is many times someone you least expect

So ... who was the M.V.P. last year?

[snapple]

Hoping it's Tex. I have a feeling we're going to see some Sexy Dark Chocolate ™ this year

[Hitman23]

I'm with you. I dont know why but I have a feeling Alex is gonna have a great postseason.

Same here. And I would love to see him cause a ton of damage.

[Eldee5]

I'm going with Ichiro.

[geoffman]

Im going with Ichiro and Martin for having nice playoff performances.

Im hoping everyone joins the party.

[Hitman23]

Ugh... awful game by Arod. Guess I jinxed him.

[apalradio]

Nah, I don't think anyone jinxed him. This is pretty much who he is these days. I just hope he still has a couple of good games left in the tank.

[geoffman]

After one game I like my choices so far. Lots of energy for both of them which I like.

[Hitman23]

Nah, I don't think anyone jinxed him. This is pretty much who he is these days. I just hope he still has a couple of good games left in the tank.

i just wanna see a fane where he launches like three homers and has like ten ribbies. I need to see it.

[GordonGecko]

I think there's going to be a lot of heros, with my top prospects being Ichiro, Jeter, Swisher, and Cano. I think Martin will show flashes of brilliance too like yesterday, but I expect almost nothing out of A-Rod, Tex, Ibanez and an average showing by Granderson.
