Napoli

I said Napoli would get some MVP consideration and I stand by that. Some are reacting as if I said he is a lock. I'd probably rank in order of AL MVP candidates as

1. Altuve

2. Donaldson

3. Betts

4. Machado

5. Ortiz

6. Trumbo

7. Cabrera

8. Trout

9. Napoli

10. Encarnacion 

11. Happ

So the AL leader in WAR is ranked 8th...sure, makes sense

 Very rare a MVP comes from a non-playoff team let alone a team in last.

Altuve, Donaldson, and Machado are probably your leaders at this point.  Ortiz has been an offensive force but, as a DH, is one dimensional.  I can, however, see him as a "dark horse" candidate due to the retirement angle and the overall idiocy of the East Coast media.   Betts has been among the best and has being on the East coast in his favor, he's just outside those three.  Honestly, though I don't think Trumbo or Napoli will even be in the discussion.

Still, Trout has been the best of them but won't get consideration because Angels' pitchers are injured.  Hopefully, one of these days the new school writers get more influence over the voting as the old school guys retire so individual performance is tied less to team performance.  Kind of like what happened when Felix won the Cy Young despite posting only a 13-12 win-loss record.

Shine I don't do this very often but you're more annoying than any poster I can remember, and beating out Lifetime is quite a feat.

In the year of the improbable, the impossible has happened.

lol. Trout has been worth 5.8 wins more than Trumbo and has been better than everyone on your list, in most cases by a lot.

Again, very rare a MVP comes from a non-playoff team let alone a team in last. I think AROD did on the Rangers but he also hit close to 50 hr.

Yeah, so Altuve or Donaldson might win. There is zero chance Trout finishes eighth or behind Trumbo.

holy crap. I honestly thought you were about 18 years old. if i've disrespected you in any way in the past, 

 

it was probably warranted. 

If they aren't 18 then they are probably 81.

Exactly.  Why the Angels must keep Scioscia steering the ship.  Except for some injuries the last place, losers of 7 straight, competing for the worst record in MLB Angels would be kicking ass.

[Angel Oracle]

Trout HAS to be in the top 5.

But yeah, his streak of top 2 finishes is likely over at four. 

[Pujols4MVP]

Non playoff Phillies: Ryan Howard won the NL MVP in 2006 for hitting 58 HRs with a .313/.425/.659/1.084 line but funny is that he was only 5.4 WAR that season & has only 15.0 career WAR thus making Darin Erstad's & Mike Napoli's career much greater than Ryan Howard.

[Homebrewer]

Another reason to sign Tebow.

[Lou]

Napoli will get MVP consideration, just as Keanu Reeves received Oscar consideration for Little Buddha

[Lou]

Napoli is in the Top 10 in two categories - HRs #4 and Ks #2

as of today, Altuve is the MVP
