Who do you think should win the MVP this year?
Okay I'm a super stat geek so I probably know who leads the league in a ton of stats that you've never even heard of. I personally think Jacoby Ellsbury should win the MVP, not because I'm a homer (I definitely am), but because he leads the league in WAR(wins above replacement) with 8.7. WAR calculates how many wins a player contributes over replacement level it combines WRAA, an offensive metric, UZR, a defensive metric, and a positional adjustment. For the NL I would go with Kemp for the same reason as Ellsbury

Now that was who I think should win the MVP. Who Do YOU think should?

Verlander and Kemp. Kemp, because he's had a very good year for a bad team, and Verlander, because, if he's not in the Tigers rotation, they wouldn't be where they were today.

Also, Verlander is 2nd in WAR, with an 8.6

Verlander and Kemp. The Tigers are nothing without Justin and the last pitcher to win the MVP, Roger Clemens, wasn't a Triple Crown winner. Verlander, on the other hand, is almost guaranteed to be.

I'm still not sure he is serious.

N.L.: Kemp. If he gets even close to two triple crown titles he'sd got it. It's gonna hurt him becauuse the Dodgers stink.

A.L.: Jacoby Ellsbury. If Red Sox miss out that would really hurt him.

If the Cards end up taking the Wild Card, I will change my vote from Upton to Berkman. :wink:

Also, for the heck of it, I'll throw in my votes for the rest of the awards, since they don't need to be excluded:

AL Cy Young: Verlander
AL ROTY: Hellickson
Hank Aaron Award: Bautista
MOTY: Joe Maddon

NL Cy Young: Kershaw
NL ROTY: Freeman
Hank Aaron Award: Kemp
MOTY: Kirk Gibson

No, I think you're thinking of 6th Man of The Year. :)

(But really, Wilson would deserve it if there was an award. :) )
