[Kingdom]

Had no idea 3 more wins were more important. Who knew.

[Porter]

The .3 something ERA difference wasn't important either. I'll be honest I knew Vanvalkenberg would win MVP. But, I figured Peppers would win the Cy Young.

Olsen did walk 50 more batters, but struck out over 100 more than Batista.

Whats more surprising, Batista winning the CY or Lizardo beating Magners for MVP?

[Saber]

Apparently, having an ERA almost a full run lower than anyone else isn't a big deal.

[Porter]

That might have to do with the fact Benitez won 26 games and had 60 more IP and 4 more starts than Countryman. Justin Wilson is probably scratching his head too.

[Halladay_is_God]

**** yeah, finally got that Cy Young (should have been McGowan's years ago god damn it), just need a WS ring in S3SL

same problem I had with McGowan all those seasons ago, although not to the extent of a 6 win gap

You mean Jerry?

[Porter]

You mean Jerry?

yes. sue me.

Wins and innings must be the only things that matter, ya know. Wait for 2046 when a 22 game winner that logged 275 innings wins the Cy Young. Oh but the catch being his WHIP was like David Wells' weight.

Bleh....

Richard Vanvalkenburg (Ari)!
He batted .297 in 542 AB, with 46 homers and 135 RBI.

Joseph Holmes (Phi)!
He batted .307 in 605 AB, with 43 homers and 153 RBI.

What makes Vanvalkenburg the MVP? Is there a foolish panel of sports writers coded into the AI?


In all seriousness, Congrats to Porter! It was close enough and the AI picked your guy.

[HafDawg2003]

Handsome Wonderful is Handsome AND Wonderful.

[General]

Vanwhatever drew twice as many walks as your boy, OM.Easily the better player, IMO.

[Slyder]

Can anyone tell me how Lizardo won an MVP over John Magner?
