That would certainly apply to the Tigers. Take away JV and plug in another guy with maybe only half as many wins and they'd be looking up at the Tribe and Chisox. Or should it be based on who is the most valuable -- all around? I suppose it's a matter of semantics. JV might well win it, but I reserve the right to disagree. Give me an every day player with multiple skills. Then again, as you noted, MLB gives out several awards. Perhaps they could solve this dilemma by creating one more. Best Player. Just a thought.

The award is given base on their individual accomplishments. Their teams may not have achieved great success but they have. JL is it possible a Most Valuable Player! not only achieved great individual success but that success translated to the success of his team ? If you think it may. Then where you the Tigers be without JV. I am just Tumbling The Dice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
