justin morneau showing why he should probably be mvp.

 

ehhhhhhhhh...

pedroia aint MVP material,get the fukk outta here,gotta have more than 67 RBI,damn Bobby is becoming Todd Jones...

but Morneau is a Twin. So he's greater than a white sox

Ugh, please think before you post.

 

That comment is sig worthy. Far and away the biggest compliment given to Todd Jones this season.

3-0 twins

Pedroia is a piranha on steriods.

Carlos's numbers are much better and he is in the 3 spot.

 

edit: compared to morneau

WTF, I thought that Casilla guy was done for the year

A basehit?

 

Quentin has shown why he should be the MVP pretty much all season. That and his team is in first, while the Twins are trailing...

and driving in a run. with two outs. I hate the guy but he's nails.

That brought a smile to my face WT.

 

haha what can I say? I try.

If you were a Twins fan, what would you be saying about Quentin?

 

he hits more HR, has a higher OPS, players a tougher position, more runs... the reality is, they are both having outstanding seasons.

don't know about that

All Sox players are good and rank up there on top

imagine how many more RBIs CQ would have if he had a Pedroia or Suzuki type player,someone that gets on base alot instead of OC and AJ....bet CQ would have at least 130 right now

don't know about that

 

well I trying to say that its more physically demanding.

and driving in a run. with two outs. I hate the guy but he's nails.

 

Saw this in Stark's most recent column, surprisingly showing that Morneau's second in baseball for having runners on base that he fails to knock in:

 

Stat of the week

 

Here's our latest brainstorm for illustrating how RBIs are overrated -- a new stat concoction we're calling Runs NOT Batted In (RNBI).

 

To compute it, you start with number of runners on base when a hitter bats, subtract the number of those runners knocked in and compute how many of those runners each hitter didn't drive in.

 

The leaderboard, through Aug. 26 (data from baseballprospectus.com):

HITTER RUNNERS DRIVEN IN RNBI

Garrett Atkins 434 64 370

Justin Morneau 439 82 357

Troy Glaus 415 63 352

David Wright 423 75 348

Jeff Francoeur 393 49 344

There is no question. But when someone talks JM deserving the MVP more than Quentin, I am interested to know why.

Drugs.

 

They're probably the same people who thought Morneau deserves the MVP in 2006, even though he was the third most valuable player on his own team.
