Comments on: Adrian Gonzalez, The Best Value In Baseball http://rumorsandrants.com/2008/09/adrian-gonzalez-the-best-value-in-baeseball.html Goes Down Easy With Little Or No Aftertaste Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:48:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Michael http://rumorsandrants.com/2008/09/adrian-gonzalez-the-best-value-in-baeseball.html/comment-page-1#comment-6567 Michael Tue, 14 Oct 2008 17:34:08 +0000 http://rumorsandrants.com/?p=3020#comment-6567 No website to source, just an opinion. Living in LA, I've had a few chances to see A-Gon play. He's good..real good. And yes, the absolute best value in Baseball...for now. But MVP? No. It goes to Pujols. Unfortunately, a winning team is considered. If it wasn't for the Cubs unexpectedly obnoxious season, Pujols would have carried the Cardinals to the Playoffs. And the playoffs showed just how average the Cubs really are. Wrigley Field is an easy ballpark for the home team. Petco Park is not. Beautiful stadium...absolutely beautiful. But the Padres have two battles...their opposition, and that Park. A-Gon is fantastic. But as long as he is a Padre, he won't be considered. Sad reality, but true. Petco Park makes great players..just seem OK. No website to source, just an opinion. Living in LA, I’ve had a few chances to see A-Gon play. He’s good..real good.

P.S.You cite fielding percentage and RBIs in your arguments, but they are both atrocious statistical measures of a player's worth.

Sports writers who actually vote for the MVP would say that he didn't do enough to help his team to the playoffs, but without him the Pads probably would have only won around 50 games. He's my MVP and I'm a Rockies fan. There you go, even your worst enemies think that A-Gon is best value in baseball. I’m with you man, you have made your case.

I really hope the local boy stays in San Diego for years to come. Yeah, he’s so easy to overlook, but it’s amazing what he’s done with that lineup and in that park.
