Cespedes for MVP?

MrMet · Sep 12, 2015

Starting discussing this in the morning thread and thought it deserved it's own thread...

What say you about the chatter of the possibility of Cespedes for MVP?

AmishDave · Sep 12, 2015

It's insane. 55 games in a league and you're gonna be MVP ? Not a chance. The Mets team MVP ? Sure, but not for the league.

The media at its' finest. Manufacturing a fantasy - it's what they live for.

Harper is virtually a lock. Get used to it.

Nope , and as already stated ,
media (talk radio etc) totally snowballed this. Although a great stretch , others like Harper have had as impressive of stretches.

No. Mostly for the same reason CC didn't/couldn't have won in 2008.

No. Don't they have anything else to talk about?

Harper NL
Donaldson AL

Done deal

I believe he's had an improbable stretch, and his contributions have been amazing to the Mets. . but my personal feeling if you change leagues or are traded for any reason. It nullifies any major award.

On another note, I think the mvp should be renamed. It's the best player from the best team 99% of the time. Many other players through the years have been better deserving of the title MVP but we're screwed because the team didn't make it to the playoffs.

As much as I would like to see it happen, it is not going to occur with only 1/3 of his season in the NL....

NOPE!

Making good argument for best Deadline pick-up, or at least best since Sutcliffe in '84...

A homer a day keeps the Nats away

Give that man the MVP!! They can't lose with him, u can't have an MVP on a team that doesn't make the playoffs

Cespedes could hit a home run each game for the rest of the season and he wouldn't win MVP.
You can't win a season MVP playing only 55 or so games for the team.

And more importantly, weren't the Mets already in 1st place when Cespedes arrived? It's not like he propelled the Mets from being a bad team to the division title. The Mets were great without him.

They were 2 back , but yes the point if them being competitive already wo him is correct.

Harper is fantastic but his team is two games over 500 and will probably miss the playoffs so I don't think he should get it. Rizzo, McCutchen, someone who is on a playoff team

Don't care if its Harper or anyone else. But it won't be YC. But I don't think you need to be on a playoff team to win MVP, but that may be a minority opinion.

Three pitchers, Arrieta, Greinke and Kershaw have arguably been more valuable to their NL team than any hitter this season.

I hate pitchers winning the MVP but Greinke has been amazing this year
