Will anyone make a run at the triple crown this year?

It's still kind of early, but do you think anyone will make a run at the triple crown in 2012?

Last season, Matt Kemp came the closest, winning the RBI and HR crown but missing the BA crown by 13 points.

As of 8/9/12, Miguel Cabera leads in RBI and is only 2 HR behind Adam Dunn for the lead. However, he is significantly behind Trout in batting average - .345 vs .322.

Maybe Trout can cool off and lose the batting title to Cabrera?

In the NL, I see nobody who can do it. Braun leads in HR, and he is 5 RBI behind Beltran. But he is around 60 points behind McCutchen for the batting average, which is too much.

doubt it


McCutchen certainly won't win a HR and RBI title and neither will Melky Cabrera

As the final stretch is coming, I don't see why Miguel Cabrera can't do it.

On 8/16/2012:

- 2nd in batting (.340 Trout vs .327 Cabrera)
- 1st in RBI (103; 2 ahead of Hamilton)
- 3rd in HR (4 behind Hamilton and Dunn)

Provided he doesn't slump and no-one else gets hot, he can challenge it.

Hmm... nobody else thought Cabrera had a shot. But me :gt
