But it should also raise a red flag for Major League baseball, because the extremely marketable Derek Jeter also ranks below all the aforementioned athletes with only $8 million a year in advertising bucks. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;tynansanger posted 2 days ago from sports.yahoo.com &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/go/2885662/" rel="nofollow"&gt;[link]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find more top sports news, videos, and blogs on BallHype: &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/mlb/"&gt;MLB&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/mlb/alex_rodriguez/"&gt;Alex Rodriguez&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/mlb/derek_jeter/"&gt;Derek Jeter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

	<title>AL MVP Race</title>
	<link>http://ballhype.com/story/al_mvp_race/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt; This morning, we looked at the three potential MVP candidates from Texas and decided that Josh Hamilton was the best of the bunch, as he&amp;#8217;s added about 1.9 wins over a league average player at this point. Does that make him a legitimate candidate for AL MVP? 
 Let&amp;#8217;s look at the other contenders, using the same process described in this morning&amp;#8217;s post.

Typically, if there is a play going on, the player will take care of business, and then tip his cap to the fans.

	<link>http://ballhype.com/story/protect_your_rep_the_a_rod_lesson/</link>
