Best MLB Hitter Round 3: AL Finals?

This is a tournament to decide who really is the best hitter in the MLB. The winner will advance to the next round.





These two hitters have made it all the way from round 1. Winner advances to the MLB Finals versus the winner of the NL Finals.





Joe Mauer versus Josh Hamilton





Which hitter do you think deserves to be named the "Best Hitter in the American League"?



Mauer.




Mauer, easily.





I can't even believe Hamilton made it to the finals. Sure he had a great first half last year (really and unbelievable first half), however it is one great half season for his entire career and he fell way off after his home run derby performance. Mauer has shown consistency up to this point in his career and will continue to do so if he stays healthy.




Mauer, more consistent. I can't believe that it only came down to these two. There are a bunch of better hitters in the AL than Mauer and Hamilton.




It is hard not to take Mauer in this one. Hamilton is a good hitter, but Mauer has been doing it for longer. Time will tell if Hamilton can catch up.




joe mauer. i think it was a fluke year for hamilton. mauer can get hits and get on base.




Mauer





Hamilton is a one year wonder




Mauer. Hamilton has yet to prove himself. But really now, there have got to be better in the A.L.




Josh Hamilton




Josh Hamilton:)




Joe Mauer. I can't hardly believe that Ichiro didn't make it past the semis.




Mauer





Seriously though how is Ichiro not here




Does injury count? If it doesn't it's Mauer he hits over .300 every year.




Mauer




Mauer




i say josh hamiton and how come ichiro not the finals vs joe mauer

I vote for Mauer!
