Who should win the AL MVP?

Re: Who should win the AL MVP?

I'm sorry if you don't see the humor in stating that "Giambi is versatile enough to play DH if need be..." I found Nokona's post questioning you on it hilarious. Why you waited this long to explain it is beyond me. Just the idea of a guy being versatile enough to sit on the bench is pretty rediculous. But I still think you're painting with a pretty broad brush here with your definition of versatile. You could say Jeff Cirillo is 'versatile' because he's about to be put on the bench permanently because he sucks. Well, he's readily gone to a new task, I guess. The point is you dug a ditch for yourself when you claimed this 'versatility' of Giambi's (basically being replaced by a better fielder) somehow warranted him more consideration for MVP... that's ssstttreeeettttchhhhinnngggg it.

I think we need to wait and see how September pans out before deciding who's MVP. But for now Ichiro has the advantage.

Re: Who should win the AL MVP?

Whatever you say man.

(To COASTERMAN)

Anyways here are three articles on Edgar.
Link1
Link2 ; <blockquote>Quote:<hr />
He downplayed his absence, saying the Mariners were just fine without him, relying instead on stars such as Ichiro Suzuki and Bret Boone.

But manager Lou Piniella wasn't having an easy time filling out the lineup card each day.

"He's a mainstay for us," Piniella said. "He gives us a big RBI bat in the third hole. He's a very consistent hitter."

<hr /></blockquote>

Link3

I give up, this is all I could have come up with. All three that address it.

But those comments didn't come out of my ***.

Allright I could deal with that. I can't consider Cirillo "versatile" because he is benched for not performing well, and I'm sure he will be replaced by someone who is better than him. Not the case with Giambi.
More examples perhaps?

A question, Do you hate Bonds because of the reasons you stated before?

EDIT: ^ Never mind that, I really don't care if you do or you don't.

P.S. Why did you get rid of the quote in your signature?

My point is your use of the word versatile is misleading. Giambi is not versatile. Stop saying he is. Or keep saying he is and the rest of us will keep laughing at you.

Good idea. Not the most appropriate topic right now.

But Giambi does look like a baby dinosaur. A diplodocus, to be exact. Ever see that movie 'baby'?

No need to rub it in. Although I still don't know why I had to make your point for you.

Also, all your articles about Edgar are from 2001. One of them pre-dates Ichiro.

No that's in fact what I believe. If you find it hilarious, I have no problem with that. I explained what I meant and well I'm sticking to it. The last thing I'm going to worry about is that someone doesn't agree with me. Please.
I don't think many teams are in the same position we're. The only team that come to mind are the Texas Rangers.

No I didn't. I'm pretty sure if you were to compare Giambi to the rest of the guys in the league, you would find bigger guys. Oh, and he won't be extinct for quite a while.

You didn't need to make the point for me. I was just waiting for you to comment if you do think it's funny and perhaps why, so that I could respond how you're wrong, but I guess you want me to thank you?

All of the articles include Ichiro, but one is from 2001, when he made his debut. The second link was just what I was saying.

The last thing, I don't think I made the point I wanted to, concerning Bonds. You sayed you can't give the MVP to a DH,
Barry Bonds helps his team more with his bat than his glove. He plays LF regularly, but that doesn't mean he's helping the team very much with his defense.

Re: Who should win the AL MVP?

While the idea the DH position having anything to do with versatility seems laughable, there are people who suffer as a DH. Frank Thomas for example, has played much worse as a DH than as a first baseman this season. Therefore, he really does have but one position to play well at in the AL, while Jason Giambi has two.
