July 18, 201213 yr I voted for Rios. A good case could be made for several guys which is a good thing.
July 18, 201213 yr If Rios wants to keep his past 20+ games' pace for the next 80, he'll win more than the White Sox MVP
July 18, 201213 yr I may have voted Quintana if that was an option. Losing Danks and replacing him with some AA pitcher another team left unprotected, putting on a mid-2's ERA... that right there is the difference between being in first by 3.5, and being muddled with the Tigers and Indians.
July 18, 201213 yr Author QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 03:53 PM) Ventura I thought about putting Ventura on there but decided against it. I was just looking at the stats on the White Sox website and thought that a case could be made for a lot of guys so far. Who would have thought a month and a half ago that Rios would only be 1 point behind Konerko in average?

See so many guys you can make a case for that I forgot one...
July 18, 201213 yr I'm glad Sale is getting the overwhelming response. It's Sale IMO. [/quote I agree with this. He is an Ace. He's the most important. When the Sox considered putting him into the bullpen, many on this board (including myself) wanted to be sellers because of it. Overreaction? Maybe. But without Sale in the rotation, I don't view the Sox as contenders.
July 18, 201213 yr I voted for Rios. Don't think he has been the best player this year, but provided a huge boost that nobody saw coming. I guess you didn't see Chris Sale doing this well either.
July 18, 201213 yr QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 04:35 PM) I'd also say Cooper, he has done an amazing job this season with all the rookies Do you know what the P stands for in MVP?
July 18, 201213 yr QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 04:49 PM) Do you know what the P stands for in MVP? Person, duh
July 18, 201213 yr sale hands down. it has gotten to the point you can pencil in a win everytime he pitches. if not sale, id say rios.
July 18, 201213 yr Most certainly it has been Rios or Sale. Rios really picked up when Dunn and PK went slumping from June.
July 19, 201213 yr Robin Ventura gets my RoY vote. Nice job for a 1st year manager with previous experience. I guess this organization grew em right in the pre KW era.
