OK...

On the one hand, I see your point.

On the other – it’s a VERY common convention to say “we” in reference to a team you root for. It’s not like I came on the thread and said “OMG I can’t believe we’re not playing Cedeno every day WTF Lou must be a flaming retard!!!” Not sure why I got jumped on, but makes me want to NOT post.

in light of the fact that my statement wasn’t inflammatory. It was a comment that might have elicited a reasoned response, but instead I got a tossed off, snide comment regarding my use of the word “we” when referring to a team that I’ve followed and loved since I was 12.

Nobody on this team is outhitting Soto right now.

He’s our most productive hitter so far, and he’s a good defensive catcher. He is, at this moment, challenging Berkmann and Utley as NL MVP. Nobody on the team is close.

Forgot about Chipper - I'll give you that.

But Soto is outhitting Lee, outhitting Ramirez, outhitting Dome… and he’s a catcher! I don’t see how you can say that right now he isn’t our MVP.

by cwyers on May 15, 2008 2:58 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed... it isn't close.

Soto has substantially outperformed the others so far.

But yeah, I’d say Chipper has a pretty good case for NL MVP.

Based on what?

Soto leads comfortably in AVG, OBP and SLG. He has a more than 100 point lead in OPS. And he plays the most important defensive position.

by SouthernCub on May 15, 2008 3:01 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Maybe Marmol's impact isn't as broad

But no one’s been more dominant. Its close

You say its not close….im not going to waste my time because you can give me three stats for one player. Im not going to stop what im doing to show you there are others on this team that are close to being team MVP. Key word is CLOSE. Soto isnt running away with anything….is he leading probably.

correct.

my reference was to the team MVP… sorry. but since he’s among the leaders in pitching for the NL, i’ll say he’s in the running for the team mvp, but of course you guys are debating the NL mvp.

by bap on May 15, 2008 3:06 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

but we're talking

TEAM mvp. There’s an argument to be made. Your standard of proof is only that there is a case to be made. The fact that you give no credence to any other player to Geo (who has been phenomenal) makes you seem a bit… um. Rigid.

He's the team's best hitter...

...which is normally enough to get you very strong consideration as the MVP. The guy is putting up MVP-caliber numbers for a first baseman as a catcher. And he’s near tops in the league in things like CS% and WP+PB/G – he’s one of the top defensive catchers in baseball as well. I don’t get the countervailing argument here.

Z has been involved in more plays than Soto though.

He may only play 1 in five days, but he is a determinive factor in all those ABs. 62 IP 50H 15BB is about 250 ABs he is involved in. Soto has had about 160 PAs. Does Soto call the games, or does Z decide, or does the bench? Add in 25 Stolen base attempts and it is still only 185.

Was that he’s stranded 7. Oh, but he did get a hit – they coyly added later.

Wonder what

the former Crapinal thinks of all this crazy celebrating. I bet he has to get over hating Go Cubs Go

None of those pitches to Bard hit 85 on the gun.

Shows all the people who fret over Kerry that he is a PITCHER now, not just a thrower. Kerry is one of the best closers in the NL right now, and this is his first year doing it. The worriers need not worry about a couple of bad innings . . . many more good than bad are down the road.

Not all great setup men are great closers right away, either.

If Carlos ends up with 10-15 saves like I think he will by year’s end, then I will start thinking about his as the bonafide closer. Until then, why mess with success?

Oh I like it the way it is now.

But one day, he will be the closer. Period.

Rock solid pitching by Demp.

Seven left on base for the white Bobby Bonds

Way to impress on your first day, Jimmy. Don’t pack your resume away just yet.

Since he has been a Cub, maybe we can trade him to Baltimore now?

I figured his reception would

be indifferent at best, but the booing went on a little too long when he was out in CF. Boo his bad hitting I guess, but let the man be out there. He’s here, he’s a Cub, get used to it. lol.
