[Mephistopheles]

MVP's

 

1. Manny

2. Sabathia

3. Howard

4. Lidge

5. Pooh

6. Braun

7. Santana

8. Delgado

9. Utley

10. Berkman

 

1. KRod

2. Quentin

3. Pedroia

4. Morneau

5. Youkilis

6. Nathan

7. Mauer

8. Dye

9. Hamilton

10. Longoria

 

Cy Young

1. Santana

2. Sabathia

3. Lidge

 

1. Lee (he calls Lee's season a "Once-in-a-decade type season")

2. Halladay

3. KRod

 

So if Lee had a once in a decade type season, wouldnt that net him an MVP top ten vote? Also.....KRod is the MVP but third in the CYA? Sabathia is 2nd in MVP and 2nd in CYA with #1 in both cases not being the same guy?

 

And the #1 and #2 MVP picks in the NL combined for five months in the NL?

 

ROY

1. Soto

2. Jurrjens

3. Votto

 

1. Longoria

2. Ramirez

3. Ziegler

 

Even he cant get these wrong

 

MOY

1. Piniella

2. Torre

3. Manuel

 

1. Maddon

2. Gardenhire

3. Scoscia

 

EOY

1. Hendry

2. Gillick

3. Melvin

 

1. Friedman

2. Williams

3. Reagins

 

(no Beane?)

:rotfl: Those are some hilarious picks.

[cbbryan]

At least he got the ROY and MOY in both leagues correct.

4. Lidge

 

DANG! Kerry was only 7 saves away from having a potential MVP season??

He just needed to not blow any saves.

Other than Howard, his first four NL MVP picks played in a total of 142 games for their teams.

Pujols 5th?

 

.357/.462/.653, 190 OPS+ doesn't go as far as it used to I guess...

We just can't use VORP because Heyman doesn't think there's any correlation between that and the MVP. Except for the V and the P.

VORP YOU!

Can we just file this away as another reason SI is a horrible publication? Sportsline, Foxsports, and even the homers over at ESPN all put forth superior products to SI. I don't even waste my time checking out their website anymore, it's such a joke. I haven't pulled it up in a couple of years. Hell, you get better, more objective analysis from FJM.

i knew he was an idiot but this is really terrible.
