It's time to buy Jackie Bradley Jr.'s hot start

With no horse achieving racing’s Triple Crown this year, I began to wonder about baseball’s version. Who has the best shot? A year ago Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper certainly flirted with the honor, and Mike Trout, Paul Goldschmidt and Miguel Cabrera likewise have the skills to challenge annually. As we head into the final week of May there are two players in double-digits in home runs and among the top-20 in hitting: Trout and, of course, Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz. Wouldn’t a Triple Crown be an awesome ending to his magical career?
