QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 10:08 PM) Yea but he's still 5 runs better than Jose, those count: http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...amp;position=OF It's also positional adjustment LF/CF is harder than 1B, if you don't agree with the fWAR positional adjustments that's fine and the point is certainly debatable -- but Trout is a better hitter (barely, granted) than Jose and on the other facets of the game -- defense and baserunning, Trout smokes him. I def don't think MVP is a pure WAR wankfest but Jose would have to do something truely amazing like hit 400/500/750 during September with the Sox winning 24 of 29 to make the playoffs in order to leapfrog Trout, who simply is the better all around player. He has also played 9 more games and hits at the top of the line up on a better team. Who is hitting Abreu in when he gets in?? Trout might be the all around better players but offensive stats say they are just as good..

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 10:00 PM) They are very close. Trout will win because of the teams they play for. Which is stupid IMO... Jose is a rookie who has never playing in the MLB and is putting up better numbers then almost everyone in the league.. If you take Jose off this team, we are one of the 3 worst teams in the MLB, if you take Trout off of LAA, I still think they can grab a wildcard. I know its close but I hate how a lot of analysts and guys around the MLB think Trout already has it locked up with 2 months left and Jose putting up better numbers in his 1st year.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 09:49 PM) And an incredible baserunner. If he somehow gets robbed of the MVP again it will be a joke. No offense to Jose, who is one of the top 15 players in MLB, but Trout is inner circle HOF level, talking on pace to be one of the 15 best of all time, not just in MLB in 2014. He only has 10 SB... .299, 24 HR, 76 RBI, .388 OBP, .582 SLG, .970 OPS (102 G) .299, 31 HR, 83 RBI, .348 OBP, .628 SLG, .976 OPS (93 G) People are acting like this is no contest.. Those numbers are very close.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 08:37 PM) I'm sure Beckham will hit a 3-run homer to get this close. No

Glad Abreu extended his streak in this snooze fest

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 08:07 PM) Heck, let Hector get a CG, Unless we get a few runs I would just keep him in there

Games like this suck so bad.

Luckily Eaton got a hit in the 1st

Hey look, Beckham made a good play, someone take him!

Might as well give up the most runs ever Noesi

Another CG for Scherzer is in the cards tonight

I can't see our offense making this a game

So who do we bring up when Danks gets traded

Is this over yet?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 06:59 PM) you've got to be bleeping me. Come on Ramirez. Why he wasn't playing more up the middle is beyond me.. That was a perfect double play ball

Wow.... 1st inning and the game is over...

This is pathetic

Thanks Noesi

Throw some damn strikes

Come on.. Noesi is too scared of Cabrera.

Noesi didn't get that ball up like Flowers wanted

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 06:38 PM) Why? Trout's numbers aren't much better then Abreu's and there are still 2 more months left

Tigers are taking the field now. Hopefully our game plan is better against Scherzer this time around

It is pathetic that everyone has pretty much given Trout the MVP already.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 04:24 PM) Wow. I figured they would be aiming more towards Sept 1 for Garcia, so as to protect a roster spot. Maybe they are trying to trade De Aza or Viciedo
