    Ryan Howard with 3 HRs in first game!

    And he still has another game to go. 60 may be a foregone conclusion.

      It's too bad he's already 26.

        26 is still fairly young by baseball standards...

          He has plenty of productive years ahead of him if he doesn't get hurt.

              First legit 60-HR guy since Maris?

              Hopefully so.

                There are a couple guys in the NL with quite a higher VORP and RAR than Howard. No award this year is "hands down".

                  I'm sure your average MVP voter (sportswriter) is well versed in VORP and RAR.

                    I thought we were talking about we think should happen.

                      VORP is such a useless stat.

                        Hey, why do we need OBP, OPS, and RBIs, when we have the world's most obscure stat like VORP?

                          My favorite stat is runs created. Right now Howard leads overall but Pujols leads runs created per 27 outs. So, imo, it's really close between those two.

                              My problem with VORP is that while a "look" at the results makes the stat appear reasonable, no one knows how it's actually calculated.
