Give me 1 good reason why he shouldn't win it this year. He's doing it all and he's the heart of this team.

Because of Abreu, who is the true leader of this team.

TA7's overall numbers are better (exception being RBI and HR) but Abreu wasn't on the IL for 10 days and Abreu gets more RBI chances.

If TA7 didn't go on IL, his WAR would be higher than Abreu's

If your TA chubbie needed any firming up, take a look at this.

Can't be.

The board was assured by the sultan of syrup that TA sucked, and would forever suck.

He ran Keyser off the board by chasing him around hammering home the point that Tim Andersen was absolute garbage.

You sure it wasn't your fellow wiseman JOrr who ran Keyser off the board? You sure it wasn't Peeps? Because they called out Keyser for his terrible Sox thoughts as well. Even Cubs fans laughed at Keyer's terrible Sox takes. You never did. Do you remember Keyser pining for Erik Johnson to get a season's worth of starts and then bitching when the Sox traded him? How about giving a nickname of "Matt the Bat" to a guy who could barely keep his average about .230?

Funny now that I post much less than usual, you attempt to call me out. If my responses to Keyser bothered you so much, why wait until he's been gone for over a year and I've been posting much less frequently to say so?


For the record, I've admitted on here to eating crow on Anderson. I thought he could be a viable MLB player, but never imagined he would improve enough to win a batting title and become an MLB superstar. I also never rooted against him, and never "assured the board that Timmay would always suck."

If you're going to call somebody out, especially somebody who no longer posts here or does so only on a part time basis, get your facts straight.

It was that or Frankie Flapjacks.

Trying to throw Speeps under the bus was a turn I didn't see coming either.

Him having to go on IL is not a positive in an MVP discussion.

I want my MVP to have played more games.

It sure seems to me that the team gravitates towards Abreu more. That could be because he speaks Spanish and only some are bilingual.

It's going to be TA or Abreu which is nice...

Because Abreu is the MVP this year. Anderson will have more chances in the future.

AL MVP is Abreu 1A, Anderson 1B, and Robert still has an outside chance should he catch fire these final few games.

Robert has zero chance. He's batting .255. Put down the bong Frank.

He's been not just serviceable - he's been masterful. All season.

There's no way a non-White Sox player is getting MVP this year, right? Who the fuck could they possibly give it to?

Ogie brought up a great point.

Anderson and Abreu could split the vote with someone else winning.

Stone mentioned something disturbing last night. He had to correct a national bigfoot writer who's been calling Abreu the Sox' primary DH. Sad to see that wallowing in esoteric stats and silly fantasy WAR discussions preclude these clowns from actually watching baseball games not involving NYC or Boston.

Tim did miss 10 games, which is like missing a month in a normal year.

Has this ever actually happened before, though?

And Abreu's defensive skills have improved as well.

You can't throw Anderson a strike, his plate coverage is elite. His baserunning is elite and his power is above average. He is the AL MVP and every bit as good as Lindor and Baez.

1996 Juan Gonzalez finished 3 points ahead of ARod. ARod split the vote with Griffey, Jr.

He looks like an absolute genius up there. Its incredible. If he was on the Yankees he'd be dating a Kardashian by now.

If Anderson and Abreu split the vote who else in the AL would win? Nelson Cruz is a DH and the rest of the likely suspects are on shit teams.
