Kevin Youkilis cracked his 30th double of the season in the second inning tonight, the third straight year he has had at least 30. In the third inning he doubled again, knocking in two runs to put the Red Sox ahead 4-0.
The 2001 Lowell Spinners Player of the Year ranks among the Top Ten in many major AL hitting categories. Going into tonight’s game he was fifth in the AL in RBI (81), slugging percentage (.564), and multiple-hit games (43); sixth in batting (.316); eighth in extra-base hits (55) and total bases (234); and 10th in home runs (22) and on-base percentage (.384). Youkilis was also leading the AL in daytime batting average with a lofty .388 mark.

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here, especially with the numbers Josh Hamilton has put up thus far, but if the Sox make the playoffs or win the East, isn't Youkilis going to be one of the MVP favorites, if not THE favorite?
