BREAKING!: Yankees center fielder Aaron Judge will be at Times Square this New Years Eve so he can drop the ball.

The question is which writer will have the courage to give Lindor a first place vote for NL MVP thereby rightfully recognizing "most valuable" from "best player" ;-)

"Good"? How about historically great?
Lindor has a good case to make. They have to look at where the team would have been without the player. Considering that only one player was ever unanimously elected to the HOF shows that the voters are typically not all unbiased.

Settle down, kiddo. You got pretty riled up there. Watch that blood pressure. In this case, please forgive me, as I didn't attribute the wink icon to the suck statement because the icon was tagged to the previous sentence - (Hmm, sounds familiar. ) But, anyway... you seem to be taking the disastrous Yankees WS appearance pretty hard, so no worries, mkay?
Well, the team also needs to succeed. There have only been a few instances where an MVP came from a team that didn't have a great season. And that's because the stats were so good that you just couldn't deny them, like Arod with Texas. Every team has their own MVPs. This is about which player surpasses them all and drives their team to bigger things.

You mean like this?
I'm not riled up at all. I just felt that I needed to make what was painfully obvious to everyone else just a bit more clear for you.
I stated from the beginning how I expected them to get their asses handed to them. I've been hard on this team (except Judge) the entire season. I'm not taking this hard at all despite your meager attempts to get me "riled up." It's fucking baseball. It has no bearing on the things that really matter. I'm actually quite relieved the season is over since I no longer have to put up with their insufferable manager. Get a clue and go back to the school yard where you're a bit more competitive with that cunning wit of yours. You're out of your league here, kiddo.
Nice attempt at revisionism though. Now go shit on another thread.

When you have three guys that lead the league in home runs and RBI's your team does a lot better than they would have. But instead they give it to Trout or Cabrera based on WAR which most people don't even understand. I'm sure they could find someone with a WAR rating that might surpass Judge, now would that be fair.

Like I stated, there have been instances where the voters (not the fans) felt that a player's stats were so good that the team's record wasn't as much of a factor at might historically have been. Of course, the voters can certainly be biased, but not typically as much as the fans. I still can't believe that Gary Carter got it with the Mets in 1986 with only 40 extra base hits.
Who cares if most people don't understand WAR? Most people aren't the voters. People don't view stats like they did 20 years ago.
Cabrera got the freaking Triple Crown, bro. C'mon.

I know you stated previously that Santandar should get it, but his WAR is at 2.9, which is a drop from last year. There's talk that the Yankees might go after him if they don't re-sign Soto. But, IMO, he's an all-or-nothing hitter, like a switch-hitting Joey Gallo. No thanks.

Here's a weird World Series fact ... this was the fifth year in a row Will Smith's team won the big show. Not the same Will Smith: it was the Dodger catcher in '20 and '24, and then a pitcher of the same name who played for all three teams that won in '21, '22, and '23...
Impera littera designata delenda est.
"I'm a big Aaron Boone fan. I think he's a great manager and I think we're lucky to have him," Cashman said Tuesday at the general managers meetings.
