Just getting used to him getting jobbed before the NL MVP comes out.
That's Bernie's first mistake. Managers, coaches and players are generally not better at making any kind of awards selections.
But don't fret. I'm sticking by my belief that Albert will win the MVP rather comfortably.
AgainAs Usual.If he doesn't win the MVP, I will be upset and will probably post something drastic.
Yes. Miklasz uses VORP. He's mentioned BTF in his column. He's one of the more sabermetrically savvy mainstream sportswriters you're likely to find. You might be thinking of Dan O'Neill. Or Bryan Burwell. Or Jeff Gordon. Or...well, there's a lot of them.
BECAUSE HE'S AVERAGE???!!!
"Glaus scored higher than Wright in Zone Rating. And Glaus was a plus 7 in the Dewan-James Plus-Minus system; Wright was a plus 3. And Glaus (7) committed fewer errors than Wright (16)."
Now I noticed that it is a St. Louis writer.
In one of the early Bill James Abstracts, Bill said something like this, comparing MVP selections to whichever award the players voted on. IIRC, it was the Sporting News awards that the players vote on.
And the Cardinals have a staff of groundball pitchers.
-- MWE
I remember that one of Bill's comments was something to the effect that, based on their voting patterns, the players had apparently never even heard of the concept of defense.
