Matt39 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Pedro should have won it in 99....I dont see a problem with a pitcher winning MVP. And if the "where would the team be without X player" holds water... I think Sabathia has a better case than anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the "where would the team be without X player" holds water... I think Sabathia has a better case than anyone. Pitchers have their own award is what a lot of people will claim. I agree that pitchers should be considered. That said, CC should be considered. And if the tigers do well so should Verlander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWWombat Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 CC should not be considered. He should be considered for the Cy Young but not the MVP. In order for a pitcher to win the MVP, he should have a year like Bob Gibson did back in '68 or whatever it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Another awesome start by CC waited by the pathetic yankee lineup. What are they? Second in runs scored? Let's cry about the lineup.

Anyone who has been watching the team play for the last month or so knows they are playing with 5 automatic outs, Tex and Cano who are having decent years and Granderson and Gardner are the only 2 guys playing well. The lineup has been the reason they arent in first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Why? Because Bautista has a few more home runs or because he has less around him? Gonzalez would get my vote. He leads the league in numerous categories and he plays stellar defense. Bautista is not good on D. The Jays are also a 4th place team and fading. What a shock. Carl chooses a player from the Red Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GimmeShelter Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 And Ellsbury is deserving of votes. Without a doubt. It's time to give the guy his due. Having a monster year and is probably the best lead-off hitter in the game. Healthy and adding some power to his game has moved him to the upper tier of outfielders. I like what Reddick has been showing as well. Sox could have a nice young outfield for years to come. Hopefully Mets ask for Reddick in any Beltran talks.

They may add a BP arm but I doubt they do anything major. They sent their best prospects for A Gon. Other teams have more to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams is one of the best relievers in baseball and is under contract through next year. They have no need to trade him unless they get a haul. He's their closer once they deal Bell. They will trade him next year I'm sure. That is how small market teams like San Diego have to operate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes perfect sense. You're right. The Padres only got 2 top 100 prospects in addition to two other players. All for a guy they couldn't have afforded. And I'd like to see the article that quotes the Padres asked for Montero. Everything I read is that the Padres told Adams they are not dealing him.

CrazyCarl40 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Jose Bautista. Why is he more valuable to his barely above .500 team than any other player in the American League? He's got great batting numbers. But that is what silver sluggers are for. He can have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some hit and some miss but it is way to early to make a decision on Rizzo based on a couple of months in the majors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
