Re: Who should win the AL MVP?

If Ichiro played in Yankee stadium, batting 3rd, and only trying to hit for power, he would hit atleast 30 home runs a year. Atleast.

I think Luis Castillo could hit 30 homers in Yankee Stadium.

Yeah, it would just take him 5 seasons to get to 30 home runs...

Heck, you can say that about every person, and that still won't make it true.
Kerplunk, since you responded, who you feel is more valuable to Seattle, Ichiro or Edgar?

I rest my case.

Giambi being relegated to the DH slot in favor of the better fielding Nick Johnson makes Giambi as versatile as Jeff Weaver is versatile, pitching middle relief while Jose Contreras goes into the starting rotation. There's a giant difference between that 'versatility' and what Aaron Boone did for the Reds the last year and a half (i.e. playing SS when Larkin was hurt, 2b to start the season to accomodate Brandon Larson, then switching back to 3rd when Larson bit the big one). In other words... IT ISN'T VERSATILITY. End of story. Find a new word to illuminate the underappreciated brilliance of Jason Giambi.

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.

<hr /></blockquote>

As Nivek pointed out, and I've spoken of in other posts, Bonds is the definition of MVP because he is irreplaceable in the Giants offense. And he isn't a DH, like Giambi. He plays the field. I believe with all my soul that Ichiro is more important to the M's than Giambi is to the Yankees-- as do most people... 3 out of the 4 ESPN analysists agreed, with Joe Morgan calling them even.

You believe Giambi is the most important because you think the Yankees are the most important. You haven't so much as said anything virtuous about Giambi's competition in this thread-- I think that pretty much makes clear that you lack the groundedness to make any opinions worth a damn.

So if Bonds was putting up his current numbers, but on the Yankees, you wouldn't have him the MVP? I know people consider the strength of the team, but I just hate the argument.
