rofl. this aritcle sees Rangers and Royals as potential suitors of Bautista. I'm willing to bet a fair sum that doesn't happen.

Keep talking yourselves into corey kluber
But britton is still winning the cy

This is verlander for mvp, dickey for cy
Its just gonna happen. Like it or not

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Verlander winning mvp that year is still bullshit. They got both leagues wrong in 2011.

I guess thats what we get for that epic collapse though.

sorry man. he deserved cy young <3

 

[elcheato]

Yea, a pitcher winning MVP is pretty indefensible. 
 
One of the Indians broadcasters was talking last night about how there should be a Most Valuable Player and a Most Outstanding Player. It was cringe-worthy stuff. 

 

[bosoxlover12]

You can't have an MVP/Cy Young award without factoring how much a player is in the game

For example, Mookie Betts has played 1256 innings this season. Kluber has pitched 204 innings. Britton has pitched 60 innings.

A closer shouldn't win the Cy Young when they pitch only 30% as much as starters do. And a pitcher shouldn't win MVP when they play 16% of what hitters do. That may just be me, but that's how I feel

 

[elcheato]

While I agree with the premise, that is definitely oversimplifying it. A hitter may be "play" 1256 innings or whatever, but they damn sure aren't directly involved with a play/doing something during all of those innings. 

 

[snipezo]

Gary Sanchez, man

 

[Mexi]

Trea Turner looks like a superstar
I like the Nats more than the Cubs. Have since like 2012 lol

Idk if the Dodgers could beat them without them choking a little bit

 

[elcheato]

I honesty had no clue who Tanner Roark was until earlier this week.
