If the Rangers win the ALCS, is Cruz the MVP?

1. First Walk-off grand slam in playoff history
2. First time a player has had two extra inning HR's in a series.
3. Throws out potential winning run at the plate in game 4.
 
It seems pretty obvious that Cruz has been exceptional this series -- the home run that gave the Rangers a tie in game two and the grand slam that won it, then the throw that ended a Tiger threat and gave the Rangers a chance last night -- then another 11th inning home run. Napoli, the guy who took the throw, has had some key hits. Looking up and down the Rangers lineup it's hard to guess who will get hot and carry the team tonight. It's fun.
 
Horse before cart, lets get a fourth win first. But yes at this point he would win it in a landslide. The throw last night in the 8th to save the game just is cherry on top of amazing hitting performance.
 
Cruz hands down, Napoli distant second but third is in the dust. Don't forget Napoli throwing out that base stealer last night, that was huge and it was a tough pitch against a tough runner.
