When was the last time you saw this guy on Sportscenter?
After hitting a scorching .310/.367/.552 with 21 HR and 95 RBI in the first half, Josh Hamilton only has 31 HR and 124 RBI as of right now. That means he only has 10 HR and 29 RBI in the second half. His line is .291/.375/.491 in the second half, so he really hasn't dropped that much in the second half. So why has he stopped producing runs? You can thank Ian Kinsler and Michael Young for getting hurt for that. Their injuries probably cost Josh Hamilton the MVP Award. Not that it's their fault, but if he even has just 60 RBI in the second half, he would have 155 RBI for the season. He would probably be the front-runner in an otherwise lackluster MVP class. Regardless, after a love fest in the first half for Hamilton, he's been a non-entity in the second.
So much for the Triple Crown talk, huh?
