Being a stathead doesn't (or shouldn't) take away from enjoyment of the game. But that's different than end of season awards voting.

Really, it wouldn't be *that* difficult to simply come up with some sort of composite computer ranking and give someone the Sagarin Award For Most Statistically Valuable Player. But in an award that is voted on by the media, you can't simply dictate to them that you have to vote for whoever has the highest composite VORPECOTAOPS, or whatever. Because then, it's not a vote -- just go to the fkn computer and have it print a name and hand out the award.

But then, you'd have to re-award all those awards from previous years, as well.

The awards are voted on by the BBWAA, not by the computers at BP. So just because it's different doesn't make it wrong.

I still think Holliday got jobbed, but its not as if Rollins winning is ludicrous, and has more to do with writers' lack of exposure to Holliday all season long (compared to Rollins and Wright), and less to do with their perceptions of road OPS or VORP.
