Finally, Pujols gets his. Jones had a nice year, but how could this even be close? To add to the confusion, our beloved Jason Bay got hosed with 12th place. Consider the following OPS (BA/OBP/SLG):
Pujols..1.039 (.330/.430/.609) Lee.....1.080 (.335/.418/.662) Delgado...981 (.301/.399/.582) Bay.......961 (.306/.402/.559) Cabrera...946 (.323/.385/.561) Ensberg...945 (.283/.388/.557) Jones.....922 (.263/.347/.575) Giles.....906 (.301/.423/.483) Burrell...893 (.281/.389/.504) Abreu.....879 (.286/.405/.474) Rollins...769 (.290/.338/.431)
All of these other guys finished ahead of Bay. Delgado missed 21 games to Bay's 0, and can't run or field like Bay. Rollins plays SS and finished on fire (1.1 OPS in Sept) but was nothing special (.714 OPS) in the first half. Bay played everyday while Carpenter and Dontrelle didn't, so I'd have voted Bay third behind Pujols and Lee. Why is Andruw a close second to Pujols and ten places in front of Bay? Because he's a Brave or because of the flashy Gold Glove? Sure wasn't clutch hitting:
RISP: Lee......1.133(.331/.480/.653) Pujols...1.092(.329/.500/.593) Bay......1.074(.346/.460/.614) Delgado..1.066(.327/.447/.619) Jones......721(.207/.335/.386)
Scott Eyre and Jose Reyes get votes for 10th? Huh?
