sdoyle7798 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 At the trade deadline in my Cards dynasty, I found a message saying Juan Pierre is winning the MVP race. Here are his stats... .320 AVG, 9 HR, 51 RBI, 83 R, 131 H, 26 2B, .402 OBP Not bad stats, but Luis Gonzoles is blowing him away in almost every stat (and should be MVP in my opinion)... .360 AVG, 27 HR, 81 RBI, 78 R, 144 H, 32 2B, .426 OBP I would even argue Albert Pujols should be ahead of Pierre with these stats... .330 AVG, 34 HR, 77 RBI, 68 R, 141 H, 14 2B (I need to be more agressive running), .347 OBP (bad for AP, I know). I just don't see how Pierre LEADS the race. In it, ok, but WINNING it? WTF??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pujols Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Haha. How far back are the Pirates? 40? =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdoyle7798 Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 30 or so I believe. The Reds are 26 back. The astros are in second, 12.5 games behind me, and the Brewers are in 3rd, 16 games out. Me and the Astros are the only teams above .500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 It seems to me leadoff guys get the MVP a lot in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaplerisking Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I've noticed that the game is obsessed with steals. Whoever gets the most steals, it seems, always gets the mvp in my dynasties...if they're playing for a decent team at least. It doesn't matter if someone has a .220 avg, if they have a lot of steals, they have a shot at being mvp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I have Proir on my Florida Marlins team in my dynasty. Last season, he won 22 games, and wasn't even on Cy Young list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdoyle7798 Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Well, I am not Uber concerned, becuase AP isn't gonna get it anyway. Gonzalez is the far and away winner in my book. EDIT: Spelling sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SESbb30 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I have Proir on my Florida Marlins team in my dynasty. Last season, he won 22 games, and wasn't even on Cy Young list. what were his other stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I think 126k's, 3CG/SHO, 0 or 1 BB, 0 HBP, oh, here's probably why: a 5.15 ERA But come on, thats no reason not to even be on the list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliesphan18 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Steals! My game is obsessed with HRs! The HR champ gets the MVP 9 times out of 10. As for the Cy Young - it usually goes to the starter with the lowest ERA (As long as he has over 15 wins) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardcoreLegend Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I think 126k's, 3CG/SHO, 0 or 1 BB, 0 HBP, oh, here's probably why: a 5.15 ERA But come on, thats no reason not to even be on the list! Wins are an overated stat. I'm glad MVP Baseball realizes that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Yeah, I think that there should be a new stat called Quality Starts. I mean, I play a game called OOTP5 (Out of the Park Baseball 5) where this is a stat. This game is more indepth than MVP, but you dont play the game though, its more of a stats game. I play this in an online league, and I took a team with highest salary and no talent, and put them 1 game below .500. They finished the season 79-81. If I won one game that I lost, I'd be an even .500. But who cares about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever gets the most steals' date=' it seems, always gets the mvp in my dynasties...if they're playing for a decent team at least. quote'] I concur...I've played a ton of dynasties and a guy with a decent average, 10-15 homeruns and 40-50 steals will almost always beat out a guy with a similar average and 40 homeruns and over 100 RBI's in the MVP race. Unfortunately, I think the fact that Juan Pierre has hit 9 jacks with 51 RBI's and 26 doubles at the break his silly for a leadoff guy...especially for 170 lb. Juan Pierre, but explains why he is ahead of Gonzo and Albert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glooper23 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Neal Cotts won the Cy Young in 2007 with a 1.94 era in 130 innings... in middle relief. Has anyone else noticed how much more often the middle relief guys are used compared to setup men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdoyle7798 Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 sorry but that would have to be extremely boring blowing everyone away like that You talking to me? (Sorry, just watched Taxi Driver). For me, I am in a crappy division. While I am the best team in the league, the rest of the division , minus the astros is under .500. The Astros are 3 games above .500. In the NL East, I'd be only 4-5 games up, I think. The Mets are playing .590+ ball. And it's not like I am playing .700 ball. I am playing at about .640 clip. The Yankees have a similar record in the AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
