2. Joe Mauer - It's Minnesota Twins 1,2. Mauer has been chasing .400 but since he is a catcher it hurts him. But he can still hit .362, 15 HRs, and 49 RBIs, he also missed the beginnign of the season.
3. Evan Longoria - Longoria fresh off his ROY last year has been an anchor for the Rays, hitting .275 with 19 HRs, and 72 RBIs
4. Torii Hunter - Even though Hunter was recently put on the DL, he still is worthy to be this high. He has hit .305 with 17 HRs, and 65 RBIs
5. Jason Bay - Bay's average has plummeted, but he still is a RBI machine. He has 72 RBIs, and 20 HRs
6. Carl Crawford - Maybe some of you wouldn't have Crawford this high but he has been a complete package this year. He has batted .313, with 63 Runs, 41 RBIs, and 8 HRs, he also has been a pest on the bases picking up 47 steals. He has Average, Speed, and some power.
