Would CC get your vote?

I actually would put Lincecum first, as well, with Webb second.

What is the difference between the "best pitcher" and the "most valuable pitcher"? To me, the best player is the player who gave the most value.

I dunno. "Value" implies cost.

Two players with identical stats don't have equal value if one makes $380,000 a year and one makes $380,000,000.

NOT saying a player's salary should be factored into the MVP vote.

When I say value, I'm speaking in terms of production...which I thought was obvious. Value = run production / run prevention.

Lincecum should get it. he leads the NL in 2 of the triple crown categories.

EXCELENT point and if he was on a good team he would DEFINATLY have the wins.

It's between Lincecum, Santana, and Webb,

I wouldn't be surprised if Dempster sneaks into this race

True...he's a little behind on innings, but a strong September could put him squarely in the discussion.
