I wouldnt vote for a position player that only played in 30-35 games either.

A starting pitcher has a much larger effect on a game than a single position player.Originally Posted by boa
A starting pitcher faces more batters himself in 30-35 games than a single position player gets at bats in 160 games.
What you're saying is that no starting pitcher can provide more value to his team than any full-time position player? Yeah. Right.

I believe it should go to the best player. I think the whole "Most Valuable" think has been taken out of proportion.

Fine, this is semantics because to me best and most valuable are interchangeable terms, but I'll go with it.
How can you be the best player in the AL if you played less than half a season in the AL?
Or do you not think time spent on the field matters in who's "best"?

My head hurts.
It's not fair to the players that get traded. It's almost impossible for them to win.

Yeah, it sucks, but, that's how things work when you have two separate leagues, and awards for each individual league.

You realize that a player could, technically, win both CY Young and both MVP awards in the same year.

Then you shouldn't be able to trade between leagues during the season if it's going to work like that.
Yes, but I don't believe in it.

I plan on sneaking Manny in at #10. An "MVP" in the true sense of the word, for that team.

Uh, why should the transaction rules be affected by the award rules?
Don't get me wrong, it's certainly possible for a player to amass enough value in half a season to reach the top 10. When you hit like Manny has, it's certainly possible. I'm not saying players that switched leagues shouldn't be eligible...I'm just saying, it takes a lot for them to overcome the pack of players that spent the whole season in that league.

o
They're not. They're affected by the fact that there's two leagues, each with separate awards.

Master of Ale!
I don't disagree with the majority of your lists, danny, but I'm curious why not one of the 5 closers in the AL putting up big numbers this year (Nathan, Rivera, Papelbon, Rodriguez, Soria) is on your Cy Young list. James Shields over any of those guys?

Just posting to let everyone know that the voting will open immediately following the end of the regular season. Please make sure to read the rules prior to submitting your ballot.
I will post again when the voting opens.
