Re: A-Rod the MVP on a losing team, that says a lot about a player.....
Since a player's job is to win the pennant, there's a case to be made for the league MVPs to be the MVP on the pennant winning team. In that case, I guess you'd say Posada (or Pettitte or Rivera?) would be the AL MVP and Pudge (or Pierre?) the NL MVP.
I would even concede the award to Delgado. The Jays finished in third place.
MVP and Pudge (or Pierre?) the NL MVP.
Bonds or Pujols in the NL. St Louis made a serious run at the post season until the last month of the season.
Bonds played very well despite suffering from sleep deprivation and stress due to losing his dad.
My prediction is Pujols beats out Bonds for NL MVP, with Javy Lopez 3rd
I agree with this, but Bonds could win.
On another note, I see among the teams interested in Japanese shortstop Kaz Matsui are the Yankees and Red Sox. Don't they already have pretty good shortstops?
The Yankees have enough shortstops, but they want to stop the Mets ( cross town arch rivals) from landing him. It also wont hurt for the Yankees to have another Japanese draw for their Japanese viewing audience abroad.
