Josh Hamilton went 1-for-5 with three strikeouts and a costly drop in center field as the Rangers lost to the A's on Wednesday. While it's guaranteed that Miguel Cabrera and Mike Trout will occupy the top two spots on most MVP ballots, a lot of people were probably debating whether to go with Hamilton or Adrian Beltre third in the third spot. It's a safe guess that those who waited until the very end to make their pick gave Beltre the nod. Hamilton has really struggled over the last month, while Beltre went 3-for-4 with an RBI today to finish the season with a .321 average. Hamilton, who had every chance to disrupt Miguel Cabrera's triple crown, went without a homer in his last nine starts and finished the season at .285-43-128.
