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.
by SouthernCub on May 15, 2008 2:59 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Berkmann's probably the guy I'd chose if I was asked and the balloting ended today.
But all four of them have a case right now.

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.

You say its not close….im not going to waste my time because you can give me three stats for one player.

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.
by cwyers on May 15, 2008 3:11 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.

Catch any Thome AB’s lately? He can’t hit fastballs any more. Can’t get around on ‘em. He looks done.

His "numbers" have been decent
but he has not been able to hit in the clutch.
And for a guy who gets 15 mil per year and does nothing else – that’s not good.
I think he sucks.
Just my opinion though.

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.

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.
