Reliever or DH as MVP

[majordanby]

Dave - that's a very good point about modern statistical analyses having an increasing influence on voting.

Rob brings up a good point too - if a DH has an absolutely monster season, he could win. If the stat guys had their way, trout would have been the MVP the last two seasons. But, because cabrera had monster power numbers and played for a winning team, he edged out trout two years ago and easily won last year.

and raymond - i assume you're a braves fan. remember when they almost signed ARod when he was a free agent?

Yeah, I remember. I almost became a hockey fan.
