Stat: The MVP Race

by Matthew Cerrone on August 27th, 2007 at 9:23 am

As of right now, the following players are on pace to finish the season with these statistics…

Player AVG HR RBI SB OBP
David Wright 0.320 30 110 35 0.415
Matt Holliday 0.335 30 130 11 0.390
Miguel Cabrera 0.320 37 115 1 0.400
Albert Pujols 0.320 40 110 2 0.420
Prince Fielder 0.280 50 120 0 0.375

 

 

 

 

 

…in other words, i think it is safe to begin speaking of wright when discussing potential MVP candidates…if the league values power, then pujols and prince will win…if they value balance, then wright or holliday should get it

as case could certainly be made for D’Backs RHP Brandon Webb, who is on pace to go 17–9 with a 2.60 ERA, while leading his team to a division title…however, pitchers rarely win…
