Posted by David's iPad (aka David) Nov 17 '16, 15:22

That's five straight years he has finished first or second.

I would have had him 2nd. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 16:12
It is a shame that he and Tim Salmon weren't contemporaries. That would be the beginning of a super team -- nm - crash davis Nov 17, 15:54 1

Kris Bryant wins the NL MVP. -- nm - Krusty Nov 17, 15:53 4
- 4th to ever go ROY then MVP. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 16:14 3
  - Pretty good company. -- nm - Krusty Nov 17, 16:36 2
    - Half the list is great. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 16:38 1
      - Haha! :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 17, 16:53
Good for him. He's ridiculously talented. And the Angels should trade him. - Krusty Nov 17, 15:43 23
- I never understand how a team gets better by trading the best player on the planet. -- nm - David's iPad Nov 17, 15:54 19
  - On a ridiculous team-friendly contract. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 17, 16:16 11
    - And at a still young age. If were 33 or 34, maybe you realize you're enough years away that you rebuild. But he's young. There's time. -- nm - pmb Nov 17, 16:24 10
      - They have little around him or waiting to come up. They're a below .500 team and not getting better. - Krusty Nov 17, 16:34 4
        
        they had a bad season after some better ones, in no small part because of a boatload of injuries. I can't remember offhand, but there were several - b. Nov 17, 16:43 1
        
        Injuries aside, there's not a lot of talent around him or down on the farm. - Krusty Nov 17, 16:49
        
        What makes you think they can't buy their way out of it or rebuild through the draft. Even if it takes 3 or 4 years to rebuild he'll still be in his - pmb Nov 17, 16:40 1
        
        The MLB draft is a slow build and much less of a guarantee than other sports. To buy the talent they need is going to be expensive. - Krusty Nov 17, 16:45
      - In theory, he is 2 years away from his prime. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 16:29 4
        
        That's great but he can't play nine positions. -- nm - Krusty Nov 17, 16:35 3
        
        Yeah, but you don't let Mays leave when you can afford to buy Snider and Mantle. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 16:37 2
        
        We'll see what happens but it looks like he'll finish his contract as the best player on a perennially mediocre team. - Krusty Nov 17, 16:42 1
        
        it seems like you're forgetting how good they were just a couple of years ago. best record in mlb. - b. Nov 17, 16:48
  - If he's all you have and you're not winning or close to a title what he can bring in return could be enough to blossom -- (edited) - Krusty Nov 17, 16:01
  - Didn't Seattle get better when they traded A-Rod? -- nm - Strongbad Nov 17, 15:59 5
    - Its been some time but it seems to me that he went free agent out of town -- nm - crash davis Nov 17, 16:19 3
      - Yup. He left as a free agent. -- nm - Krusty Nov 17, 16:38 2
        
        It's like you have me on ignore. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 17, 16:39 1
        
        Never! -- nm - Krusty Nov 17, 16:52
    - No, they got better when he left and they got Bret Boone, his stash of roids, and Ichiro. -- nm* - Will Hunting Nov 17, 16:10
- and guess which ball club just happens to have the deepest farm system now to trade with? - Jovian Nov 17, 15:54 2
  - The Atlanta Braves! - David's iPad Nov 17, 15:55 1
    - Yup. You do have the deepest farm system right now. -- nm - Krusty Nov 17, 16:02
Yay -- nm - JD Nov 17, 15:37
Vote breakdown -- (link) - budice Nov 17, 15:30 2
- 5 pitchers and none were the Cy Young -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 17, 16:14
- Betts was better imo. -- nm - Crashquick Nov 17, 15:41
