| neonreaper 09/21/18 4:33:18 PM #269: | I don't see deGrom winning MVP on a really bad Mets team, not really his fault. I know some people think MVP just means "most hypothetical wins based on derived advanced stats" because "wins" are the most valuable thing you can have. I see that point and have some agreement with it... but baseball isn't a sport played in nightly chunks for the sole purpose of piling up aggregate statistics. And to me the MVP award also captures some of the story of the year. deGrom has had one of the best pitching years we've seen in a while. He's Cy Young and it's robbery if he doesn't win it. I don't have a real opinion on the NL MVP though so if it's deGrom because he's so good, you can overlook the rest of the NL - that's fine. I'll take Mookie because his lofted swing is better than Trout's plate discipline/3 outcomes style that can be managed around. Trout is a valid MVP name and if he wins, that's fine. I disagree this year (of course I'm biased). I do think there's something to be said for how a guy's personality affects his team but I get that you might want to keep it at Xs and Os. --- Donny: Are they gonna hurt us, Walter?
