I don’t think eitner one of them deserve it just yet, but yes, I DO think the MVP should be decided on the basis of GWH – among other stats.
To me, a guy who gets, say, a dozen GWH a season, but bats .265, 30, 85 is worth more than the quiet hitter with the more impressive stats that almost NEVER gets a GWH. I mean, what does valuable mean to you?
For the record, how many times has Delgado saved Wright’s throw at first?

would that be the same Dan Murphy who had the game winning hit last night?

I’ll be the first to admit that Wright’s stats this year aren’t indicative of his level of play, but to call his rbis “cheap” b/c he hits sac flies and b/c he always has Reyes on base is ridiculous.

The definition of an rbi is driving a run home — with the exception of the long ball, to do that you need to have runners on base.

Frankly, I’ll take the guy who consistently gets the run in from 3rd, whether it be by sac fly or ground out, any day of the week.

‘overrated’ by whom? The mets org, and some Mets fans? It’s the mets farm system perception of being weak (other than FMart), that prevented the Mets from making any trades at the deadline.

Congratulations on using your second and fourth best prospects, and then some, for landing….Joe Blanton. Seriously, congratulations.

Even if there is something wrong with the stadium (and I agree that there isn’t), every opposing team the Phils play at home plays in the exact same stadium.

The Phils have NO advantage playing there.

so the guy still gets rbi’s, but you’re mad that they aren’t fancy and exciting? i guess so…maybe he shouldn’t get those rbis unless he does it with a double to the gap or a shot into the corner with bases loaded, 2 outs, and a full count.

I didn’t realize they voted for MVP based on game-winning hits. Not that i think wright should be mvp, but you make no sense.

exhibit A,B,C: Milledge, Carlos Gomez, Phil Humber

santana, church, and schneider.

you might want to re-phrase your question to: why does the mets farm system brings back lots of good players?

Don’t wake Ceetar up. Randolph would be 15 games up too, even with his guys not playing hard for him.
