    fixed also look at Grossman's numbers when he came back after the ridiculous benching. and a large reason for the team's regression was Grossman suckage. Grossman had a great 8 games in 2006 and a very bad 8 games in 2006. Starting with the 6th game of the year in 2006 and through the last 11 games Grossman had 13 td's to 17 int's. And it got worse towards the end of the season (5-9 ratio in last 6 games including the awesome 2 for 12, 3 int game 0.0 rating game to end the season). Grossman had a good start to the '06 season and has sucked ever since. False, unless your definition of very bad is different than mine. He had 8 great games, 5 terrible ones, and 3 ranging from mediocre-bad to pretty good. I tend to think the offensive line being terrible and the many defensive injuries had more to do with the plight of last year's team than anything Grossman did in the first 3 games. EDIT - Sorry, I "misremembered" (although one of the terrible ones I forgot was half of a 100% meaningless game)

    one might argue that without Sabathia, the Brewers would be 3rd place (or worse) right now. What pitcher did they have who was going to go 8-0 (while pretty consistently keep opposing teams from getting to whack around that bullpen) over this span? what if the replacement pitcher went 4-2 and the bullpen won the other two... they wouldn't be that much worse off... anyway, i'm just saying that it's not like he's worth 8 wins because he's 8-0 (not saying you're saying that, but the way you presented the point is sort of misleading)....

    Those are probably from the Milwaukee series. Note the grey pants and the surroundings, definitely not a home game.

    Fixed. Thanks for the post but it really doesn't matter. The fact they fail to see anything with regards to Sori and what his value is speaks to how clueless they really are. I gave them the team record and personal stats and it still doesn't register with them. No worries. Nobody is saying Soriano isn't a very valuable member of this team. That doesn't change the fact that he's not even in the top 5 candidates for the league most valuable player award. I don't know why I'm bothering making a real response.
  7. David
    First of all, I'm not surprised that you are siding with the person who now holds the title for NSBB's dumbest argument. Secondly, any merit to the base argument for Soriano as MVP was completely destroyed by the OP's pigheadedness and his insistence on following W/L stats without Soriano exclusively, while ignoring rational discussion using real stats that ACTUALLY determine MVP candidacy. Eh, that was sort of unnecessary.
  8. David
    First of all, no. He really isn't in the top 5. He would have to have a HUGE month and a half to be under consideration for league MVP. Second of all, the reason people jumped all over what he said was that it was a bad point and an even worse way of arguing it, not because of any mob mentality.

    The reason team's don't have productive hitters up and down the lineup is that such hitters are scarce and teams can't afford to do that, not because there's a need for certain "roles" to be filled. An All-Star lineup, like, say... C-Soto, 1B-Pujols, 2B-Utley, SS-Ramirez, 3B-ARod, LF-Braun, CF-Hamilton, RF-Dunn... would easily score the most runs in the league and, given non-terrible pitching, would win a ton of games. There's no need for role-players. They're just there because a) great players are rare and b) teams can't afford to have great players at every position (the two go hand in hand, obviously).

    The hope is that he'll pitch well enough in relief in September that he'll be in the postseason bullpen instead of Howry.

    soriano's the mvp

    Especially the fact that it was the 2000 draft, which was notoriously bad. Aside from #1 pick Adrien Gonzalez, Adam Wainwright whao was like #28 or 29 was the only player in the 1st round of that draft whose made any kind of major league impact. IE Luis Montanez. Chase Utley was the Phillies 1st round pick in the 2000 draft. He turned out to be ok :wink: OK, you have Adrian Gonzales at 1, Rocco Baldelli at 6, Utley at 15, and Wainwright at 29, but look at the rest of round 1 http://www.mymlbdraft.com/2000 Is that really that different from most drafts?

    time for a compromise: he should get consideration for left field MVP. are we all agreed? of the division? aw, hell.. not even... well, at least you gave it some consideration. that's all I was asking for that i did... i really did... i have nothing else better to do anyway.
  14. David
    I couldn't help myself. :oops: Nono, not yours, his. Yea, but I opened it up for him to come back.

    He's not even the most valuable player on the Cubs.
  18. David
    he had already had three tommy john surgeries while he was in HS don't joke like this... there are too many people who will believe it.

    Make an argument for why he's been more valuable than Albert Pujols, Lance Berkman, Chipper Jones, or Hanley Ramirez. I should've just limited it to guys on good teams, because we know what his response to a couple of those names will be. Chipper Jones should be the MVP, I'm pretty sure the team has been awful without him in the lineup. touche

    i agree with you but at the same time, i can't help myself.

    i wish this thread would disappear so I could stop wanting to reply to stupid things said in it

    i bet if you asked a player and manager from every team, they'd offer support for soriano as MVP too. But none of it has any merit? I can't believe, with the numbers as plain as day as to what Sori brings to the team (Win/loss record, personal stats), you ignore them as nothing. WOW!! ok, you're obviously trolling because nobody can be this good at misunderstanding things. So why doesn't he deserve consideration then? Because he hasn't been nearly as valuable as few other players in his own division, much less the whole league?

    Berkman, Pujols, and Hanley Ramirez are all much more deserving candidates than Soriano Hell, there's people that won't even be in the conversation for MVP that would be better candidates.
