Curtis Granderson Should be Uninamous Choice for AL MVP

[brahmabull117]

how is there even really a debate??



Granderson's on pace for 45 homeruns - 127 RBI - 31 Stolen bases with a fantastic OPS... and he plays one of the most important positions on defense as a centerfielder




Not to mention he's the main reason the Yanks have had such an explosive offense all season while missing A-rod for a large chunk of it

[The Bet Master]

Yanks would still be in the playoffs without him. Verlander all day long.

[neverstoppers23]

he is definitely making a case for himself, I am interested in his home/road splits to see what they are because playing in Yankees Stadium sure helps.
Edit to add they are pretty even, so I say right now sure he looks like an obvious MVP choice. But there is still a month left lets wait and see what happens. If Verlander ends the season with 25 wins or something crazy like that who knows he may get it.

Anyways the better question is, who is MVP in the NL. Since the AL there are only a couple of clear favorites.

Defensively....hes the worst outfielder in the majors....Dude cant throw for shit.

better OPS on the road than at home...

My money would be on berkman for that.

[rsnnh12]

Ellsbury, Pedroia, and Verlander all deserve it over Granderson as of now IMO, but he's definitely catching up

[kerrywoodwins20]

My money would be on berkman for that.

How can Alfonso Soriano not win this in a land slide?

[YorkHunt]

My money would be on berkman for that.

You lost then because on paper hes -13 for defensive runs saved....worst in majors.

Have you guys ever watched Maglio Ordonez?

Well he is going to have more balls come to him in center, then berkman will have in right. Berkman is slow, un-athletic , and can't throw. At least he can get to balls.

i think it has be to Granderson.


Verlander only plays ever 5th day and is responsible for only 19 wins so far... i'm sure Granderson has helped the Yankees win more than that.

But Verlander is an awesome pitcher. I really like watching him pitch. I can't believe he can hit 100mph in the 8th and 9th inning. I wish he would teach me how to throw 100mph

[CanuckG]

Weak race this year

[Grits n' Gravy]

Black Brady Anderson.

[wiffle]

better OPS on the road than at home...

lol, just because he has a better stats on the road doesnt mean that his home park isnt helping his numbers

[wiffle]

jose bautista says hi

[yisman]

Jose Bautista. Better defensively and offensively. Toronto will miss the playoffs, but what can they do? They're stuck in a division with two teams that buy as many top players as they can each year.

[kaijunn]

i really like Granderson too. he's a boss.

[gryfyn1]

how is there even really a debate??

there really shouldn't be a debate, no way anyone but Bautista deserves the MVP.

[gomiamigo]

He should get 110% of the votes. Fck unanimous.

[dynamite140]

3 of the other yankee players can put the numbers granderson has this year. No team can do that

[brahmabull117]

there really shouldn't be a debate, no way anyone but Bautista deserves the MVP.

bautista's the best player in baseball, there's no doubt about that but there's no way in hell he wins the mvp for obvious reasons

[VicVega91]

Yanks would still be in the playoffs without him. Verlander all day long.

Agree

[InTheDrink]

How can Alfonso Soriano not win this in a land slide?

because raul ibanez is still playing and owns it as long as he is

when he retires they'll name the award after him

[305GURU]

The Grandy-Man can....class act on and off the field....he'd get my vote

[paco]

Jose Valverde.
