How about the Texas offense? Ian Kinsler (9 RBIs), Josh Hamilton (8), Nelson Cruz (8), Bengie Molina (7), and Michael Young (7) are the top five run producers in the American League playoffs, while only Cody Ross (8) has driven in more than five runs in the NL. Additionally, leadoff man Elvis Andrus has hit .333 with seven stolen bases, while Cruz has hit .375 and slugged his fifth home run of the playoffs tonight, giving him an edge over teammate Hamilton and Yankee second baseman Robinson Cano, both of whom have hit four. (Over in the Senior Circuit, Ross also has four but no one else has more than two.)

he 22-year-old rookie has been on fire since taking over as the Giants’ starting catcher when Bengie Molina was traded to the Rangers. Though his 21-game hitting streak came to an end on Thursday, Posey has helped San Francisco go 17-8 in the month of July, in the process taking the lead in the Wild Card race. It won’t be easy to edge Jason Heyward and Stephen Strasburg, but Posey has a legitimate chance to claim the National League Rookie of the Year award.
