You can now win the AL MVP if you play only 83% of reg season

for a team that finishes 18 games under .500 while hitting only .291 and statistically rated 17th in the AL.

This isn't about whether Trout is a great player, but what is the value of "Valuable" in the MVP award?

It's all about WAR ** -- hoosnowahokie 11/15/2019 09:20AM

Not sure I'd call baseball a game of war....football is more like that -- statmanfromHCyrs 11/15/2019 10:18AM

Understood, but it falls short of "most valuable" -- PhotoHokieNC 11/15/2019 09:37AM

17th in BA, but #1 in OBP, SLG, and a Gold Glove finalist -- HWA 11/15/2019 08:57AM

40th in hits, not top 40 in 2B/3B, 2nd in HR, T9 RBIs, T6 RBI. -- PhotoHokieNC 11/15/2019 09:12AM

How about pitchers winning MVP who play in 20% of their team's games? -- statmanfromHCyrs 11/15/2019 08:15AM

I never got that, either. Pitchers have a perfectly good award in the CY. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 11/15/2019 08:18AM

Don't even have to win WS games to do that ** -- `lag 11/15/2019 08:22AM

But you can marry supermodels -- statmanfromHCyrs 11/15/2019 08:24AM

Lol, why the heck else do it? -- `lag 11/15/2019 08:33AM

And Bridges and Yost? Are they forgiven for ripping that infield out of -- PhotoHokieNC 11/15/2019 08:42AM

Sure, it's been a while, let bygones be bygones. ** -- `lag 11/15/2019 08:47AM

(sniff) Thanks. Now I can finally deal with other issues at group today. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 11/15/2019 08:49AM

Reaching the post-season not required to win MVP or CY -- statmanfromHCyrs 11/15/2019 08:35AM

Makes sense, never really knew the rules on that. ** -- `lag 11/15/2019 08:48AM

JV is arguably deserving of both of those. -- PhotoHokieNC 11/15/2019 08:29AM
