I also think it begs the age old question, what does "valuable" really mean.

Because it's pretty damn hard to see any single player who's more valuable to their team right now then JD Martinez.

Yup, I agree, he's the MVP IMO

Doesnt change the fact that Mike Trout is and always has been the best baseball player on the planet

Was on track a little while ago to surpass Babe Ruth's single season WAR record.

I think he's slipped a bit since, but still, anytime you're on track to break one of Babe Ruth's records, you're probably pretty good.

wait. 2 Yankees fans think JD should at least be in the discussion.....

I know... People just like to use stats on here (as they should) and I was throwing those out there is all. As I mentioned earlier it's Trout's to lose but it's not like Martinez is completely blown away by Trout (numbers wise)

the problem with that is while the offense might not be too far apart, Martinez has no defensive or baserunning value whereas Trout does. This is reflected by WAR where Trout's is nearly double JD's.

The Red Sox would probably be 7 games behind the Yankees

And the Angels would be on pace to miss the playoffs


Thats why I agree that JD Martinez is the MVP


Im of the old adage, "We could lose without ya"

The Angels could be behind the shitty Rangers if they didn't have Trout. You're punishing him for having shittier teammates.

and then there's a Red Sox fan (me) saying it's absurd.

He still has the interim tag, but Jim Riggleman has my vote right now for NL MOTY.

The Reds were 3-15 when he took over.

They're 39-49 now. He's got the Reds playing above .500 under him and they're beating the Cubs again today.

Snell really making his Cy Young case

He ain’t it right now but dudes been siiiick

agreed though Ramos is having a good offensive season (especially by catcher standards). Stassi's the only other AL catcher really hitting (134 OPS+), but he only has 167 PA.

the last few years have been very good for 3rd basemen and this year has been no exception.
