Did Bonds deserve the NL MVP?

I can't take credit for this, heard it on the radio. Is Bond's record 7th MVP award causing him to have a swelled head? No, that's from the roids.

I would just like to point out that this year the baseball writers of America got all three major awards right for each league. This is truely an astounding feat.

i'll leave the stats to the other guys, but a quick story about Vlad;

the Angels came to town early last year and Pinero had him like 1-2 or 2-2. Wilson called for a slider trying to get him to chase something a batter couldn't do too much damage to.

Pinero throws him the slider and it breaks over the plate but about at Vlad's shoetops.

Guerrero swings the bat like a golfer teeing off and hits a home run to dead center; the biggest part of Safeco Field. If he missed, I think Wilson would've been digging the ball out of the dirt.

Everyone knew right when he made contact that the park had no chance of holding it, and literally as the ball's rocketing off the bat, Joel Pinero threw both arms up to the catcher as if to say, "should i throw it *behind* him?!"

I dont' know if that was a defining moment for the Angels, but it definitely set the losing tone for the entire Mariners season...all courtesy of your AL MVP.

But never fear...Ritchie Sexson, welcome back home to the Pacific NW... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ] WTF, did this happen?

[VBM]

d'oh...i didn't mean it was official, but the rumors (a la Jayson Stark on KJR) are that:

1. Sexson wants to play here (he's from like, eastern WA or something)

2. The agreement is in-place under the table...

[ThaSaltCracka]

I don't think its going to happen, and I hope it doesn't.

[VBM]

no? i think if you want some 1st-base pop, it's him or delgado...

[ThaSaltCracka]

I don't want to waste money on a posistion like first base, because you can always find someone just like those clowns for cheaper. 1st base might be one of the most over valued posistions in baseball.

Easy solution to your 1st base problem. Either Menkievitch or Millar, your choice, for a couple of prospects that might turn out to be the next Lowe and/or Varitek.
