Choose My Online League's MVP

EKomrska15 · 06-11-2014, 09:01 AM

After 16 members of the league voted it is a tie between 2 players.

Please choose your guy

Both played on playoff teams. Top guy was on the wild card team and the bottom was on the 1st place team in his division.

What are their positions and how did they perform on defense?

I'm guessing the top guy was the more valuable defender, so I'd vote for him, unless you tell my otherwise.

Hard to compare..

Top guy was a catcher who threw out 25% of runners

Bottom guy is a 1b

Here are their fielding stats

Batting champ catcher > power hitting 1B.

baseballonly · 06-11-2014, 11:52 AM

Yeah how would you avoid a catcher when he already has a better wOBA and OBP?

zukes · 06-11-2014, 12:14 PM

Player #1 and it's not really close.

IanIachimoe · 06-11-2014, 12:14 PM

voted for the catcher (player 1).

rogmax11 · 06-11-2014, 12:20 PM

I voted for guy #2 based solely upon a quick scan of numbers, prior to learning about the positional
differences. While I do admit to having a chick-like admiration for both the long ball and RBI over
batting average, I think a catcher that plays that many games and who produces that much offense
is rarer and more valuable than a powerful first baseman, and would thus have voted differently had I
known earlier.

An interesting observation, at least to me: the 1B guy scored only 88 runs, with over half coming from
his own homeruns. The remaining 43 runs came about despite hitting 42 doubles, not to mention the
100 plus singles and walks he accumulated. It would seem that after he came to bat there was an
enormous abyss in his teams lineup when it came to run production. Poor guy could have used a
little backup support.

If they were both 1B, I'd give player 2 the edge just from the awesome power advantage, but the positional adjustment makes it an easy choice for me to go with Player 1. That's stunning production from the C position.

EKomrska15 · 06-11-2014, 01:48 PM

I'm very non-positional specific for hitting. I don't care what position the guy plays if he can rake he can rake.

As a side note the premise of this league is that every year we randomly choose how many Heroes (Hall of Famers in real life) that we import. The catcher that you are seeing is an imported Mickey Cochrane.

That's why I left their names out.

A bit of a longball fan, but to me it is close. Given his contributions to a wild-card team and production in eval ratings like RC, I'd go with #1. Half of #2's RS were because he hit the HR, while #1's RS were getting on base. Yeah, I'm good with #1.
