If the season ended 2 weeks ago, I would have said Trout. If it ended today, I'd say Donaldson. I really think he just catapulted ahead of Trout with the past series. It'll be an interesting run until the end of September. I don't expect Trout to stay as cold as he's been for much longer. The Jays fan in me of course hopes Donaldson keeps crushing it and stay ahead in the race. On a side note, if LA doesn't find it's way back into a playoff spot that will only add more chance of Donaldson winning it.

So Don Zaun initially leans toward Trout for MVP because Trout plays CF as opposed to 3rd base. Now Don Zaun leans toward Donaldson because the Angels are trending downwards out of a playoff birth.

 

My god! :confused: :rolleyes:

Didn't realize JD hadn't struck out the entire series.

The thing about Trout... he strikes out a lot [for the high-caliber player he is].

All or nothing.

 

He's gets a lot of all.

No he doesn't.

 

He strikes out at a league average rate.

Maybe you should go give him some pointers.

I don't follow you, why is that a Zaun thing to say? I think my view is pretty fair. Trout had the better numbers before August started. Now... not so much. A cold month for Trout and a hot month for Donaldson have completely turned it around.

Instead of being a gamer, Verlander is now playing the role of comedic relief.

This has got to be the only profession in the world where an employee can be so willfully ignorant of relevant KPIs.

LOL, I can see why some think baseball is a sport for stats nerds.

Miggy won't have the counting stats (which shouldn't have a ton of weight, but we know they do) and his team sucks, but he's having the quietest .370/.473/.611, 195 wRC+ (career high) in my recent memory....

Its cuz the Tigers are having a terrible season. Same with Goldschmidt in the NL. You don't hear about players on crap teams. Votto is having an unreal season too.

Harper should still win MVP easily in the NL even though his team has been mediocre and will not make the playoffs

Josh Donaldson now beginning to run away with the AL MVP...

 

7.3 fWAR vs. 6.8 fWAR

 

Only 0.2 fWAR behind Harper.

 

Donaldson might end up being the best player in MLB by the end of the year.

Thanks. Lots can happen in a month. Lets hope JD stays consistent. Trout is capable of crooked numbers for 30 days.

I really thought that Trout was going to take it... Not because Donaldson didn't deserve it, but because I thought it would be fairly close and they'd give it to Trout cause he's the golden boy. But Donaldson is pulling away now... To the point where I don't think they can vote Trout... Even if they really want to.

Donaldson has the highest/most important saber stat for the nerds with a 7.3 fWAR and the fundamentalist voters will love dat .300 plus a-fridge (projecting), 2nd in the league in dingers, leads the league with 104 ribeeeez and dem intangibles being the catalyst for the blue jays helping them make the playoffs for the first time in over 20 years.

 

He has this won on all fronts.
