DMN's Evan Grant votes for Michael Young as AL MVP

Mmmmmm not what I said, in essence or in fact.

And still waiting for some sort of empirical indication of how a vote for Michael Young is not "credible."

 

That's certainly a fair point.

It is not evidence that Grant's vote is "not credible."

 

Miguel Cabrera RISP: .388/.518/.673
Miguel Cabrera Late & Close: .341/.440/.576
Miguel Cabrera, w/in four runs OPS: 1.008 (.107 higher than Young)

 

Cabrera may or may not be a better choice, but an incrementally better choice doesn't render choices 2 through 10 not "credible."

 

Dick - do you think "essentially subjective" is the same as saying "there's no wrong answer?"

 

Putting Michael Young ahead of Miguel Cabrera on your 2011 American League MVP ballot is not a credible vote.

 

Of course it is. It depends entirely upon your definition of "valuable."

 

I guess if your definition is "not as valuable," then Young could be credibly placed ahead of Cabrera.

Otherwise no.

 

So there's only one right answer?

 

To the question: "Is it credible to put Michael Young ahead of Miguel Cabrera on your 2011 American League MVP ballot?"

Yes, there is only one right answer to that question.

 

If Dick and lcjjdnh agree, there is only one right answer. If they disagree, she may not be able to take warp speed much longer.
