LOL, ok...we're splitting hairs. Hard to go wrong with either player!

Tell me about the Bob Evans logo. Is there a story?

True that. Both have had great years. The logo? A nod to the banned Mr. Evans, naturally. Sincere or sarcastic? In the eye of the beholder.

You can only work with what the pitcher is gonna give you - and my hats off to both of them for recognizing such. Trout has more walks because of the Angels anemic lineup - not a knock on Puljos, it just is. Betts gets more hits because who ate you going to pitch around in that lineup? Angels have a -33 run differential and Boston +189!

As far as Mr. Evans, This beholder's eye sees your avatar as making him a martyr for everything that is cruel and unjust about Net54

nl cy--jofer...rip big guy may there be more players like you and less redasses like madbum and mccann.

re royals: their projection for this year had them miss the playoffs, so they are what they are...although they way overshot their projection last year. of course we all know baseball is very random and small sample size luck vary season by season...so the smart front offices are pushing .5-2% edges to tilt the math in their favors against the randomness. that's why the diamondbacks and angels will always suck as long as they keep hiring old-school guys who'd rather settle the bean ball score than actually look at l/r splits.

edit: it's also a weird take that somehow the best player is NOT the most valuable. everyone agrees trout is the best, he gives your team 10wins every year...but he's not as valuable as the other guys who measures out at 8, 7, and even 5 wins. so ortiz only gives you 5 wins, but his fiery speeches somehow makes up the other 5 wins in the standing.

I don't know about the rookies to make a guess, but for the others:

AL
MVP: Betts
CYA: Head says Kluber, heart says Porcello, going to go with Kluber.

NL
MVP: Bryant
CYA: Scherzer

From Bob Nightengale covering baseball for USA Today: The three finalists voted on by the players for their Player of Year Award: Jose Altuve, Mookie Betts and David Ortiz...

So this proves the people actually playing the game knows as much about baseball as a casual fan. No wonder important front office decision makers like epstein are making 10mil a year now.
