With the MVP Awards being handed out next week, I went around the MLB Network Studio to see who the favorites are in our halls.

Now Al and Victor agree that it’s going to be Albert Pujols in the NL and Joe Mauer in the AL.  They seem to be strong favorites.   

Harold agrees on Pujols, but he believes that Derek Jeter will take home the title in the AL.  For Jeter, an MVP would really top a busy award season.  He’s already won the Hank Aaron Award, Roberto Clemente Award, Silver Slugger Award, Gold Glove Award, and another one of those World Series rings. 

As for my picks, I’ll have to agree with Al and Victor: Pujols and Mauer Power all the way.

Don’t forget to tune in to Hot Stove tonight at 6pm ET.  Harold, Victor, and Al will be talking to now 2-time Cy Young winner, Tim Lincecum. – Hazel Mae
