    NL MVP: Nine-car pileup

    There's a lot of different routes to take on NL MVP this year. There's nine picks (possibly more, but that's what I'm listing), any of whom I could live with. So who do you have?

    Goldschmidt leaps to mind

    Goldschmidt seems to be the easy winner.

    I'm guessing it's unanimous.

    I’d go with Lindor at this point. If he doesn’t have this bounce back season, the Mets don’t have the season they are having. He’s also the best all around player on that list.

    Arenado will spilt the vote. He’s having just as good a season all around, the exact same fWAR. Many of the others on the list are just fractions of points away in terms of fWAR.

    That's sort of where I'm leaning. He seems like the guy who's had the biggest impact on turning around his team.

    I went Machado. He carried that team on his back until the deadline, and since the deadline he has better numbers than Soto.

    Re: NL MVP: Nine-car pileup

    I vote for Albert Pujols because every "journalist" I read tells me how great he is and I'm not supposed to be suspicious of him in any way even though he came up and took the place of a famed PED abuser, somehow recovered from injury every year while in St. Louis in remarkable time and won countless awards, went to a different organization and played awful for a decade, came back to St. Louis this year and led them to a title. Therefore he should get the award.
    Where we gonna go?

    I cast a Wild Card vote for Pete Alonso. He's got 128 RBIs, tied with Aaron Judge for MLB lead. 40 bombs. He's not going to come close but I think he's better than some names mentioned.

    N/M I didn't see Pola Bear lol

    He's the most tested player in the history of the game. There is no smoking gun pointing towards PEDS.

    I'll go with Goldschmidt. He has about a 30 point lead in wOBA over the next best guy with excellent defense and basrunning. I get position value mattering, and while there are a couple of really great 3B near the top, I don't see any SS or CF in the top 10 and to bridge that wOBA gap, that's what I'd need to see.
    All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
