Triple Crown?
 

Derrek Lee

Any chance in hell? I know its way too early to even start thinking about it but what would you put the odds at? 20-1?

Re: Triple Crown?
 

I don't think Lee is this good. Last year was more the type of hitter that Lee is. I say he fizzles out in the second half.

I would think ARod has a better chance.

That may be so, but doesn't the TC go by league? There can be one in the American and one in the National.

Re: Triple Crown?
 

I like Albert's chances better, and he's trailing Lee in all 3 categories.


Let's see, I'd guess he's about 4-1 at best to win any of the categories right now as he doesn't have a massive lead in any of them. That would put it at 64-1 to pull it off.

Re: Triple Crown?
 

What about A-Rod's chances to pull it off?

He has big leads in both homers and RBI's.

Also, hsa there ever been a Triple Crown winner who didn't also win MVP?

Yes.

Re: Triple Crown?
 

Who? That just seems ridiculous that someone who won the Triple Crown would not also win MVP.

Ted Williams (2x), Lou Gehrig. Possibly more.

Lee's highest BA in a season is .282. Something tells me at least that number will regress.
