MVP

fWAR says Rendon and Nelson Cruz are ahead of Anderson/Robert, but neither of those guys are winning AL MVP...well, it would be difficult to take a full-time DH with past PED's issues over Tim Anderson (who has missed a number of games) or Luis Robert.

The funny thing is how close the AL ROY race is now between Robert and Lewis (SEA), where you could make an argument Robert could lose RoY but somehow win the AL MVP, because of his importance defensively.

Abreu, btw, is 17th overall in fWAR, which is huge with the limitations on 1B fWAR.

 

Maybe the biggest stories in that Top 20 fWAR list are YAZ and Ian Happ coming out of seemingly nowhere.

Damnit.  Just short. 

 

That looked like it clipped the chalk....no review RENTERIA?

Non-reviewable?   If it's fair, he gets a single?   Double?

I think the Sox MVP leaders are Abreu and Anderson, not Robert and Anderson.

Then we're arguing some "intangible/immeasurable" quality like clubhouse leadership/guidance/mentoring.    Abreu has definitely improved his defense, but Robert is likely to win the AL Gold Glove in his rookie season.

Imagine the White Sox outfield without Robert out there?

We can easily imagine McCann, Grandal, EE, Collins, Vaughn playing first, otoh.

Grandal still shouldn't hit second.

I bet the players would pick Abreu, too.

And Abreu MVP talk is an issue of recency bias...although you can argue the same thing with Anderson and Robert, obviously.

He gone!  Ks the side!

This is like all the arguments the last 5 years over the top 2-3 hitters in the Cubs' line-up, like Schwarber, Rizzo, Bryant, etc., hitting 1st or 2nd.

Just strike out the side whatever no big

Eloy may as well play without a jersey at this point.
