I detest the notion that the MVP winner is "the best player on the best team" or has anything to do with being "clutch".

You're right, of course - King Felix for MVP! Joe, I'm just regurgitating nick-names here (though the stunt the guy pulled with a dollar bill on a fishing rod on A-rod's first visit back to Safeco was awesome). :) I think A-rod generally is a pretty good on the field role model - he plays hard and even hustles to first on ground balls.

I mean, he might be the contoversial player on our team, but I think that Rocket was/is worse. Or, how about Perdo and Manny?? I will conceed that Ortiz is a great player, but I hate Manny Ramirez. Not to mention, A-Rod might be getting paid alot, but he had been compared to The Babe. He is one of the few sluggers (along with Ortiz) who does not use steroids to help him put up his numbers.

Without his existence, M's fans would be jumping off of high buildings like lemmings. And you can't run a successful franchise if all your fans are dead. I think Felix Hernandez should be MVP.

Wed, 05 Oct 2005 10:39:46 +0000 http://alexking.org/blog/2005/10/04/mvp#comment-8432 Your reasoning sounds great to me. I particularly agree with the idea that a player's value should be based on performance over the entire season and not over the games that take place on any particular weekend.
