For whatever reason I think MVP and CY award shares are a neat and interesting thing to keep track of. So some notable updates from this year's voting: Mike Trout's 41% share this year brings his career total to 6.32 MVP award shares, passing Willie Mays and putting him 5th all time (behind Bonds/Musial/Pujols/Williams). Trout needs only another 64% to pass those next three and move into second all time behind Barrold (who's safe with 9.30). Freeman's surprisingly (imo) large 97.6% share increases his career total to 2.276, taking him from 189th all time up to 78th, sandwiched between Sandy Koufax and Adrian Beltre. Mookie Betts' 63.8% share bumps him to 2.788, good for 46th all time, between Roberto Clemente (2.80) and Jonny Bench/Derek Jeter (2.77). bawfuls fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Nov 13, 2020 |

Downballot MVP votes are totally meaningless, might as well give it to Some Dude You Like. It's like being named the ambassador to Liechtenstein.

Salvy got a 10th place vote which is cool. And I feel vindicated for my preseason analysis which was that a 60 game season means no second half Salvy, just first half. And, well...161 OPS+, you know?

A single 10th place vote in an award where they only acknowledge the top 3 places just means you personally like Ryan Tepera.

apparently the guy who voted for Tepera was St. Louis Post-Dispatch writer Rick Hummel and he voted for him by accident because he clicked on the wrong name on a drop-down menu. https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/cubs/how-cubs-reliever-ryan-tepera-got-mvp-vote

It feels weird that I was listening to a ton of Effectively Wild episodes about what has happened to Jose Ramirez last year, then he just casually has another great season.

Kim Ng was an assistant GM with the Dodgers and interviewed for the GM position when they hired Ned Colletti instead, 15 years ago. So yeah this is a long time coming.

poo poo this is pretty much a step down for her, as she was vice president of baseball operations for the league. But good luck in righting that ship, Ng.

Even with Gausman returning, Giants still need to sign at least one SP. Our top pitching prospects are still like a year away, and like most minor leaguers they haven't played for a year so who even knows. Taking a look at the top FAs from MLBTR: quote:Bauer If this is really gonna be a slow offseason with teams cheaping out, seems like a smart GM could swoop in and sign a couple of these guys quickly. Maybe we could get Kluber and Smyly on 2-year deals or something? Throw in an option that vests if they dont get hurt?

I completely forgot about Drew Smyly after the Mariners traded a couple of minor leaguers for him, only to join the team, develop a "soggy arm" then ended up getting TJS and never ended up pitching for us.
