Early MVP Candidates- my thoughts- Donaldson has come out of nowhere. It was only a little over a year ago was he a catcher, 3B, what was he and now hes a legit top player.
Donaldson, Edwin, Cruz in that order for the AL
Tulo, Stanton, Puig in that order for now NL
Early MVP Candidates
Re: Early MVP Candidates
Add Miggy in the AL. Even with his slow start, his numbers are still pretty good on a division winning team. Bautista should be considered too.

The AL race is going to be a battle, i probably should have mentioned the 2 you did also as they will be in the mix too.
The Nl could be a run away if Tulo stays healthy, but there not many other clear cut candidates yet...
Re: Early MVP Candidates
Three names for the National League...
Giancarlo Stanton-
Miami would be the also ran that everybody predicted of them without his big bat in the lineup.
Carlos Gomez-
Milwaukee is four games ahead of the pack in the Central. Gomez has become the Brewers catalyst.
Besides being one point behind Braun in batting average, he is ahead of Braun in all roto categories. That, in and of itself does not make Gomez an MVP candidate, but he is becoming their Main Man.
Hunter Pence-
Statistically, he may not measure up for the award. At the same time, the Giants have an eight game lead and Pence has been the glue for the Giants. He has only missed a couple of innings this year and leads the team in hits.
Like Gomez with Braun, Pence is beating Buster Posey in four of five roto categories.
If Posey is the leader of the team, Pence is the spirit and soul of the Giants.

Wait! I never had the perfect draft!
