Carlos Quentin = 2008 AL MVP

[Ramonskee]

David Ortiz will probably come back and have a GOOD 2nd half, not even great, and get voted AL MVP this season which SUCKS but Carlos Quentin is HANDS DOWN the AL MVP.
However, if K-Rod records 60-65 saves, he deserves to be up there with CQ.

 

[Mr.Cover123]

Hamilton might win just based on his sick numbers.

 

[knucklecup]

David Ortiz has zero chance of winning the MVP this year.

 

[krk1030]

David Ortiz has zero chance of winning the MVP this year.

Seriously are his numbers now even good, like BA wise?

 

[TheBud]

The years Gay Rod won should have went to Ortiz, if he can put up the numbers he did those years again, maybeeee they might... if they're going to make a fuckin DH rule, why can't the DH ever win an MVP???

 

[FairWarning]

White Sox have to win the division for him to have a chance. Who would have thought he or the Sox would be in this position this late in the season?

 

[Mr.Cover123]

Diamondbacks have no power and they gave him up for nothing.

this theory eliminates Josh Hamilton from consideration. But see A-Rod in 2002, 2003, or whatever year it was when the Rangers finished in LAST and he won the MVP.

Quentin won't even be close. It's between Hamilton and A-Rod IMO.

Dumbest Post of the Week.
Mark it.

Hamilton's Stats: .305, 22 HR, 98 RBI, .362 OBP, .339/6 HR/ 74 RBI w/ RISP
A-Rod's Stats: .318, 21 HR, 61 RBI, .398 OBP, .247/4 HR/35 RBI w/ RISP
CQ's Stats: .279, 26 HR, 76 RBI, .380 OBP, .340/7 HR/52 RBI w/ RISP


Tell me how the heck you can explain what you said? Just dumb, dumb, dumb. Out of the three of the Quentin is 1st in BA, 1st in HR, and 2nd in RBI's with runners in scoring position. Overall he's 3rd in BA, 1st in HR, 2nd in RBI, and 2 in OBP. And I only see him continuing to hit this way w/ A-Rod keeping up the pace as well, Hamilton however, I don't see it.


EDIT: you're canadian, of course.

Quentin is a terrific player. First time I say him play he reminded me of Jose Canseco.

Quentin has a MUCH worse BA, and A-Rod would have already ran away with the AL MVP if he was healthy all year. I hate the Yankees, but I can accept A-Rod is much better than every other player in the league IMO, minus maybe Pujols.

It's obvious you're letting your love for the Chi Sox get in the way of reasonable thinking. If there was one person from the three that is most likely to have a major drop off it is Quentin, and that isn't even debatable. A-Rod is the best hitter in baseball and Hamilton has killed it since he got back into the league (and plays in a hitters park with many good hitters surrounding him in the lineup).

If I had to guess I would say Hamilton wins it and deservedly so. The numbers he will finish are will sick. Quentin only beats him in HR's, so I don't know why you think he should be ahead of him at this point. So 4 more HR's makes up for a BA .26 lower and 22 RBI's less? That's stupid.

Quentin will end the year with under 40 HR's and under 110 RBI's. He won't be in the running at all. Sorry to burst your bubble.

PS: Chi Sox miss the playoffs.

Quentin: .292, 34 HR, 95 RBI, .395 OBP
Hamilton: .302, 28 HR, 112 RBI, .367 OBP

And look what I jut dug up...
Hamilton in very hitter friendly Ballpark at Arlington: .345, 17, 63, .41
Hamilton anywhere else: .263, 11, 49, .326

Quentin in hitter friendly US Cellular: .276, 19, 44, .393
Quentin anywhere else: .291, 13, 46, .370
(home/away splits don't reflect Sunday's games)

Oh, and CQ has the most HRs since the All-Star Break in the majors. So much for that drop off you talked about huh?
Soooo.... how are things in canada my friend? :nohead:
