That’s a 220 strikeout pace over a 162 game season span.
Between he and Freeman, I’d pegged Freeman with more K’s… They really are shaping up to be different players than I thought. Still good players, but just different. Like, I thought for sure Heyward was a righty. Didn’t see that one coming. ( :

It’s NOT the best player, or the player with the best stats, it’s the MOST VALUABLE play, and value is subjective…sorry, but it just is. You believe what you want, but each voter does so based on HIS definition of most valuable to his team. If you don’t get that, or don’t like it, tough Shydt
If “most valuable” is truly subjective, we aren’t able to have reasonable discussions about the most valuable player. It’s basically a taste thing. I like Cesar Izturis better than Andrew McCutchen so I think Izturis is the MVP. Izturis is my MVP based on my definition of most valuable. Hey, it’s all subjective. It’s based on my definition of most valuable to his team. So you can’t bring up any counter-arguments and we can’t discuss it. And the MVP award is about as meaningful as most people liking cheeseburgers. You’re probably right, in that that is what it is and it may be “tough shydt.”
Jimmy Rollins won in 2007 because of the subjective nature of the MVP Award voting. He wasn’t the most valuable player in any objective way we would attempt to measure value (and if we consider intangibles, it’s quite a stretch even then to consider him most valuable). It was a taste thing. A subjective thing. The voters preferred Rollins. That’s basically what the award is, whether we like it or not. That’s sort of the whole point of why folks argue about the MVP Award. Some of us don’t like that it’s subjective, that it’s essentially about taste. We realize we probably aren’t going to change that. But we are going to take our stands and express our thoughts and hopefully voters will eventually turn it in to what it’s presumably meant to be, an award that actually goes to the most valuable player in each league.

When we sign McCann for too long of a contract next year and his knees can’t handle catching when he’s 34 or so we might need to trade Freeman to make room for him at 1B?
Looking forward to all the talk about “range” and first base with McCann there. Should be real entertaining.

Justin (AZ): Do people in the industry ever get annoyed with internet types trying to scout stat lines? Or do they just kind of laugh at “prospect gurus” who know nothing about prospects other than their baseball-reference pages?
Kevin Goldstein: You know, I have no idea. The angry chat dude won’t believe me, but I don’t have the time to read other people’s prospect work. As a basic rule, if you are talking to people in the industry, scouts, front office folks etc and doing the damn at games, I can respect what you do when it comes to prospects, and obviously there are a lot of people who fall into that category, like myself, Keith Law, the Baseball America crew, Mayo, etc. If you don’t talk to people in the industry constantly, I don’t think you can do this job (covering baseball below the big leagues) well at all. That’s just my personal opinion.

Rant as much as you care to, Shaun, you aren’t going to change a system that relies on human estimation to decide awards, for a variety of reasons that I suspect would be lost on you.
But good luck in your quest to have some objective measure replace the good old human factor. I guess we all need a windmill or two to tilt at.

I have perfect 20/20 vision, and I’m profoundly deaf which further enhances my sense of sight and peripheral vision (a proven fact). I played baseball through high school but I was never an excellent hitter. Even with great vision, it does not mean you have great eyes at the plate. That requires more than just a keen sense of vision. That’s TALENT

Well, “The Rev” can’t field like Janish. Up-the-middle-defense counts for quite a bit. And Janish has been a liability because of his lack of offense during the current stretch? I think not.

In order to be a great hitter, you have to have the ability to recognize the pitches that are coming at you and you only have milliseconds to do so and react to them. Once you recognize and react, you also have to put the sweet spot of your bat to the sweet spot of the ball. I know damn well how hard that is

Sad to say, but the Rev wasn’t ready for prime time. They rushed him, because they didn’t want to pay for AGon or another two-year contract at SS.
Opportunity knocked. Simmons answered. Later in the season, Janish comes along.
With all the time he spent on the DL this year, the Wilson signing looks like a waste. I’m not commenting on how he did on the field either.
However, when Simmons comes back, you may have Simmons with Janish at back up and with Pastornicky moving into a utility role.

Not a hate email but we have the right to tell you when you are wrong. Kimbrel hasnt won 31 games. Saving and winning a game are totally different. Apparently the only stat you like is wins and average. BTW, Heyward has a 4.5WAR, Kimbrel 2.3, Chipper 3.0. Kimbrel cant close out any games if the team isnt scoring. Jason’s played in 106 games, Kimbrel has only appeared in 42.

Jeff R, it’s not a matter of taking the human element out of the voting. Even if all of the voters looked at the MVP objectively, there would still be disagreement and there would still be that human element. It’s a matter of the MVP not being subjective and essentially being about taste.
It’s about wanting MVP voters to actually build an objective case where someone can go over their arguments and see where they’re coming from instead of the voters just voting for a player because it feels like that player should be the MVP.
I’m okay with folks in 2007 disagreeing on whether Pujols or Wright or Utley or Chipper deserved the award. But I have a problem with voters voting for Rollins essentially because he made some comments about beating the Mets before the season started and he played shortstop for a division winner after making those comments and he led the league in runs scored. Those things have nothing to do with answering which player was the most valuable.
I’m just asking for some reasoning and something beyond essentially “he just feels like the most valuable player.” Making a rational argument for one player over another, even if there are other rational arguments to be made for other players is very human. Making the process less rational and all about subjectivity and taste takes away from the award because you aren’t really rewarding value. You are rewarding which player can get the most attention or which player you like or which player looks cool playing. It’s more like a gymnastics or diving competition and not an award going to the most valuable player.

agree with DOB on the Bonds totals on HOF voting (of course a blogger dealing with a veteran sports writer probably is not a big vote of approval)
the purity of the game is sacrosanct. Bonds violated that trust and will pay the price. As DOB mentioned Pete Rose, I would mention Shoeless Joe as an example (and people still debate whether he actually helped throw the Black Sox series). Could there be an asterisk wing showing accomplishments of the PED era of baseball – almost a shame hall where people’s accomplishments are noted – Bonds, McGuire, Clemens, etc., but the people are not official members of the HOF?
Bonds is the poster child for the steroid/PED era and he will be held accountable for his bad decisions.

Off the top of my head, the Rangers have the guys from the Tex trade and BoSox have Salty (originally part of Tex trade). Nats may have LaRoche and Yanks have Andrew, but Brave let them both walk.

Maybe this is ground you covered this afternoon, Shaun, but how do you pick an MVP when the award is open to pitchers and hitter? When fielding comes into play to (or should). How do you objectively compare a pitcher’s contributions versus a hitter’s? Apples and oranges and scads of variables in-between.
Of course, there’s always going to be the subjective in most, if not all, human endeavors, sports awards not exempted. There’s ego, prejudice, politics, and self-interest that goes into how someone votes and who gets awarded.
Sometimes players who are given awards are generally recognized as deserving; other times, there’s controversy. Just the human condition.

The Bench next year should have the Rev, backup SS and 2B, Juan the Fatty, Ross and Gattiis or Cuningham who ever doesn’t start in the outfield. I like the young players and would rather save money there and spend it locking up Jhey and Freeman long term. Also in terms of resigning Sheets it is a must if he continues to pitch they way he has. Every pitcher is a pitch away from TJ surgery just look at our own boys Beachy and Medlin.

Now you are showing your ignorance. Not once, will you find a comment on this blog from me suggesting that heyward should be sent to the minors. Dont make stuff up.

Doesnt make sense unless guys are hurting. We need every start that we can get from Hudson moving forward. Unless hes having ankle issues, there is no reason to go to a true 6 man rotation.
