warp is a pretty bad stat. that being said, while tulowitzki should have won the roty, it's not like choosing braun was absolutely ludicrous. sorry.

It's pretty bad. Even given debates about fielding metrics, Tulo had a total run value anywhere from 50-200% better than Braun.

don't get me wrong; i think tulo should win it going away. that being said, is it really surprising that braun won it? personally, i am surprised it was as close as it was.

Obv it's not surprising. That's different debate.

Definitely not as bad as Morneau winning MVP.

No biggie.. just like having one of the best fielding teams ever and not getting a gold glove.

Just like having only one Bronco in the Hall of Fame.

This is to be expected here.

If Tulo played for a NY team he would have had a much better chance.

Wasn't crying about anything, but its definitely true. Midwest teams get jobbed on stuff like this. Only one Bronco in the Hall of Fame is a total joke. If a handful of our players were on the East Coast they woulda been in for sure. This is just expected. Same reason Holliday likely won't get MVP. I would be absolutely amazed if he did. Unless they are just clearly head and shoulders above the competition (TD back when he got MVP) there is a huge regional bias.

Also, not sure why you two implied I was crying about it. My entire post was that of complacency above. Who cares about votes like this? They aren't indicative of anything.

Maybe, but Holliday shouldn't win MVP anyway.

Meh, I'm probably the biggest Rockies fan on this board and I'm ok with it.
