Cal Raleigh Should Be MVP

[jjgold]

I’m surprised he’s a pretty big dog

 

[Archie]

yes!

it's good to have a pal

I am surprised also. Judge has slowed down since the injury. Still has great overall numbers. I am a Judge guy (of course). I think Raleigh's average hurts his overall perception. Obviously he has the HR and RBI's but Judge beats in everything else for metrics. Raleigh plays catcher which makes the numbers even more impressive. Guy deserves more respect.

I think Judge was -5000 at one point, and Cal was +2000

Agree with coach on this one. Cal should be the MVP

Might be worth a play right now

if the yankees collapse and mariners win the division, raleigh deserves serious consideration regardless if he breaks the record

raleigh's average is a problem. he would be the lowest to win since marty marrion hit 267. a low average is a bad look. shows he is all or nothing. not hating, just giving my opinion on why he does not get more love.

He is in the conversation.

MVP should be a measure of value to the team and it’s win/loss - not individual stats.

Stats Judge wins - but where would Yankees be without him - 5 games worse, maybe 7 ?

Without Cal Mariners are bottom of the division.

Another underrated name is Jose Ramirez- quietly keeping Cleveland on the edge of contention - in a year where little went right for this team - Jose is the glue that keeps them going.

If Cleveland managed to leapfrog Seattle for last spot - watch Jose.

as a yankees fan, i do agree about the yankees having a good supporting cast that would make up for judge moreso than the mariners lineup. i just think the average for raleigh is a huge factor for voters.

i like jose ramirez but i feel like he needs a little more in the numbers for this season. still 20 games. but he definitely flies under the radar a lot.

Judge is probably gonna win if you look at the betting markets
