2008 Random Rumblings

[Dam8610]

Depends on what a reasonable time period is.

Would you consider an hour a reasonable time period?

I have 2 players for MVP consideration.

Michael Cuddyer
Joe Mauer

If my team had pitching he would be a good candidate.

4th in OPS
3rd in RC
4th in RC/27
10th in HR
2nd in R
8th in TB

[Providence A's]

Dunn is a candidate again...he's having a similar season as last...slightly lower average, but on pace for a lot more walks...on pace for a few less RBIs this year though.

3rd in OBP
3rd in SLG
3rd in OPS
2nd in runs created
2nd in homers
6th in runs
1st in walks

No MVP candidates here. Only Ben Sheets for Cy...


...oh wait

No MVP candidates here. Only Ben Sheets for Cy...


...oh wait

I wonder if he can still win it... he's been passed around like a prison *****

[browntown653]

Oh, he's good enough to win it in both leagues.

[Providence A's]

He'll have competition from Harden and Peavy.

[Halladay_is_God]

He'll have competition from Harden and Peavy.

*cough*Halladay*cough*

[bjd2933]

Harden is the only one that compares... no disrespect to Halladay or Peavy, because they're having fantastic seasons, just Sheets and Harden are in another galaxy in comparison

[Providence A's]

sorry, Halladay's not performing on the same level...Harden has a sub 1.75 ERA and is on pace for 20 wins...Peavy is on pace for 22 wins.

[bjd2933]

I don't even look so much at the wins as much as the beastly ERA's and microscopic WHIPs.

[Halladay_is_God]

sorry, Halladay's not performing on the same level...Harden has a sub 1.75 ERA and is on pace for 20 wins...Peavy is on pace for 22 wins.

Harden lost the Cy Young when Sheets was traded to the AL anyway, even if NYY sucks the rest of the way (which i hope is true), Sheets won't and he has 3 more wins than Harden, and wins rule the Cy Young since Sheets has a edge over Harden in almost every stat.

I would have argued Halladay not out of it by any means (before the Sheets trade), in all the stats Roy right there with Harden, mostly behind him but right there, Peavy only has wins and K's over Halladay and there not by huge amounts, only stats that have a gap is ERA and WHIP and now wins with Sheets there.

[Providence A's]

the only category Sheets has the edge in is wins...everything else is almost exactly the same except Harden has 3 more CGs and has over 90% QS vs. 82.5% QS. Sheets has 3 more wins, but also 2 more starts...Harden has less losses. I'd flip a coin, but in real life, Sheets wouldn't even be an option if he were traded to the AL at the deadline.

As far as Harden vs. Halladay...the ERA is almost a full run lower for Harden. He has a whip 20% lower (.8 vs over 1.0)...given up almost 50 hits less...10% more QS.

Sheets is the nation of domination
