Someone listed Carlos Marmol as 10th on their ballot.

Re: jimmy rollins is a yambag
Doesn't seem horrible, though I would have picked Holliday.
Perhaps the different media markets made a difference. |
Re: jimmy rollins is a yambag
I would've thought there was some sort of mutual exclusion with respect to being a yambag and being MVP, and by default Holliday would've taken it, but what do I know.

Re: jimmy rollins is a yambag
Holliday
Utley Pujols Ramirez Jones Wright all should be higher than Rollins (no particular order) |
Re: jimmy rollins is a yambag
Dude, half the sports media wants to get on their knees and slap their tongues against Rollins' balls. I mean, who do you think was gonna win?

Re: jimmy rollins is a yambag
I don't think it's that bad. Rollins' WARP was 9.2 compared to Holliday's 9.7. meh not so bad. 20/20/20/20/20/20/20/20/20/infinity is worth at least half a win amirite?
|
Re: jimmy rollins is a yambag
It's not *that* bad, but Holliday still got jobbed. Tulo got jobbed worse by Rollins in the Gold Glove department. But Rollins wasn't even MVP of his own team...
You shouldn't be able to win league MVP if you're not even MVP of your own club, just sayin'. |

mbillie1's baseball awards
cy young: Tom Glavine (given ironically) gold glove: Jose Reyes (given with favoritism) MVP: Matt Holliday player I most want to punch in the sack: David Eckstein not MVP: Jimmy Rollins |
Re: jimmy rollins is a yambag
I love the annual bashing of the MVP winner by stat-heads who would prefer they just hand the trophy to the guy with the highest WARP or VORP or whatever statistical baseline they prefer
|
Re: jimmy rollins is a yambag
David Wright would have/ should have won but the Mets didn't make the playoffs. Even though that's not really his fault because in september he was 352/432/602.

Thats what the actual voters are doing. What the statheads would like is for them to hand the award to whichever guy maxes out the statistical baseline(s) that are objectively best as per correlation to winning. Its a pretty significant difference. |
Re: jimmy rollins is a yambag
WOOO BACK TO BACK WHATUP!
i like rollins' double cockslap to tulo AND holliday. woo, thats payback (im not bitter) |

Re: jimmy rollins is a yambag
I think Matt Holliday clearly should have won. The 20/20/20/20 thing is obviously very impressive. However, Curtis Granderson did the same thing and didn't sniff the MVP or the win a Gold Glove in the AL, despite being one of the top 5 defensive centerfielders in the MLB.
Looking at Holliday's absurd numbers, I think he got absolutely jobbed. |

A high percentage of his road games were played in NL West pitcher's parks. |
Re: jimmy rollins is a yambag
heres a good one
besides coors, the only ballpark holliday hit more than 1 homerun in was citizens bank |

I don't think the fans really give a damn about scarcity of position. Think of an extreme example where 14 teams have Eckstein-like players at SS and the minors are littered with crappy SSs, and one team has someone Jeter-like. On the flip side, 14 teams have strong 3rd basemen, and the minors are filled with great 3Bs, and one team has A-Rod. Fans would be pissed if ARod's season got snubbed because his WARP/VORP. Of course, my knowledge of SABR stuff is pretty low, so I could be missing something big here. |
