Is anyone challenging McCutchen right now? His numbers are unbelievable.
Ryan Braun is having another sensational season, but his Brewers are in 4th place so he's out of the picture. Same goes for David Wright, who's production has slipped dramatically over the past few weeks as the Mets went into their tailspin.
If Pittsburgh falls out of the race, does he still win it? If McCutchen gets injured or has a precipitous drop in production over the last 2 months, a sleeper candidate might be Buster Posey of the Giants. This season he has quietly become the NL's version of Joe Mauer.
Posey his hitting .328/.394/.542 for an OPS+ of 166. Pretty amazing for a catcher. Barring injury he should be a lock for around 25 homers and over 100 RBI. Plus he's an excellent defensive catcher.
Posey probably won't win it this year - It's McCutchen's to lose - but the kid may have an MVP award in the near future. He's only 25.
