AL MVP is crazy as usual

 

Mookie Betts 8.5 WAR

Mike Trout 8.0 WAR

Jose Ramirez 7.9 WAR

J. D. Martinez 5.7 WAR

 

Two guys on the best team in baseball, one with a chance ar leading all of MLB in BA, HR and RBI

 

Who gets the votes?

 

Are you intentionally dismissing Jose Ramirez?

I almost hope Martinez doesn't do it because him winning it as a DH vs Betts and Lindor and Trout who are better all around players would be annoying AF

You caught be between edits as I was alternating between two tabs on my phone's web browser :)

 

FFS, Betts and Trout both have a better wRC + than Ramirez. Plus they provide very good defense and base running. Just no

If history repeats itself, JD Martinez will win the MVP if he takes the triple crown.

Betts - the best team's best player. Even if he hadn't been as good as he has been, he'd still get lots of votes just from that status.

There's precedent for a Red Sox player wining MVP when they weren't even the best player on their team... Pedroia won the MVP when Youkilis was the better player... (and neither should have won that year anyway...)

Yeah this post made me recall how good Grady Sizemore was during that run between 2005-2008. It's a shame that injuries derailed his career, but man that dude was super exciting to watch play.

Ohtani is god.

 

He’s also finally being allowed to hit against left handed starters as they no longer need to rest him for his pitching starts. 2 homeruns in 2 games vs lefties, with a 4 for 4 with 2 homers game in the middle.

 

Despite missing most of the pitching season and 6 weeks as a hitter, he’s got to be AL rookie of the year IMO.

Kopech TJS. Just a reminder to Never Pitch.

 

When people complain that Shapiro only targets position players, stuff like this should be brought up.

 

Pitching prospects suck.

Agreed, but note the last few trades have been for pitching prospects.

 

Some of the pitching has to come from the farm.

Josh Rogers might be the worst non-position player I've seen on an MLB mound this season.

His stuff looks terrible.

The Matt Holliday adventures continue. Nope, couldn't put him at first and play Ian Desmond in the outfield (if you weren't gonna play the superior David Dahl anyway), that would make too much sense.

Johan Camargo has quietly been great for Atlanta.

 

Yeah he has. Wowsers.

 

Any chance Swanson ever learns to hit?

 

A nice reminder that prospect volatility sometimes runs in the other direction (it's not ALL about failure!)

 

82 wRC+ in 2014 in A ball with no dingers

91 wRC+ in 2015 in A+ ball with one stupid home run

96 wRC+ in 2016 in AA with four lame wall-scrapers

 

Pre-2017 Longenhagen writes this:

 

"Johan Camargo, INF, o.7 KATOH+- A switch-hitting Panamanian infielder, Camargo will flash impressive leatherwork, but he lacks the range for shortstop and the bat to play anywhere else. His feel for hitting and lack of balance at the plate are both non-starters for any sort of offensive output, but he’s a plus defender at third and has started to see reps at second base. He could have Abraham Nunez’ career."

 

101 wRC+ in 2017 in MLB with a .364 BABIP; assumed to be a fluke / replacement level guy

123 wRC+ in 2018 in MLB with a .200 ISO and 3.2 fWAR and counting... lmao

 

I guess he's probably on roids

Terrance Gore got his first ML hit...in his 53rd MLB game. He's now 1-13 with 15 runs scored and 23 SBs.

 

Terrance Gore is a treasure
