Utah Utes, 2007 West Division Champions

After a 4 game sweep of Las Vegas, Utah rested on Thursday, September 6th, and watched as Texas beat 2nd place Phoenix by a 6-2 score. This officially puts Utah into the playoffs, and we are not sure if any team has ever clinched so early, although the 1995 Utes won their division by 30 games. Utah has now won 12 division titles in the last 16 seasons.

Frank Lewis is the most likely MVP candidate on Utah. He's hitting .329 with 22 homers, 85 RBI, 97 runs, 87 walks and 30 hit by pitches, for a .459 on base percentage. Frank has also worked hard on his defense for the first time in his career, after criticism of his glove may have cost him the 2006 MVP award. Frank has only made 7 errors this year.
