I've been talking, and tweeting, for a while about my belief that Ian Kinsler has been the Texas Rangers Team MVP for the first half of the 2011 season.
. . .
It isn't shocking to see Kinsler at the top of this list...what is shocking, though, is the size of the advantage he has over the next-closest Rangers, sitting a full win ahead of Andrus and Beltre.
Although Kinsler takes a lot of heat for his .241 batting average, his .359 OBP is the second-highest on the team (Endy Chavez, in a limited role, has a .360 OBP), and FanGraphs' system loves his fielding and baserunning.
