Small is more of a Yankee MVP than ARod.

If not for Arod's homer, the Yankees don't win last night. Also, he saves many runs from scoring by making sparkling plays at 3rd.

ortiz isnt done.

They are both MVP's, but Arod plays the field and wins many games that way besides the games he wins with the bat. He's also hitting about .320 while Ortiz is slightly under .300.

 

[pmoa]

This debate can go on forever...all the yanks fans will vote for AROD and all the sox fans will vote for ortiz and a smattering of votes either way. SO who cares who wins the mvp and lets see what the teams do in the post season.

The MVP is for most valuable player, not best player. Ortiz is more valuable to the Sox than Arod is to the Yankees. (IMHO of course)

Ortiz with a game winning RBI yet again tonight.

He just clinched the AL MVP.

It's not all about stats, it's about what a player does for his team. That being said, Arod doesn't have the best stats in baseball. Ortiz has 18 more RBI, and they're tied at 47 for HR's.

Your omission of batting average is noted. 😀

That I am 😉 Ortiz does have more game winning hits than ARod, you can't dispute that.

That's probably true, but how many games has Ortiz won by playing the field on a gold glove level?

Slugging percentage is a virtual tie. Ortiz with 18 more RBI. Ortiz with 11 more doubles. Arod has the edge in BA and OBP. That's hardly the best stats in baseball as you claim.

Let's forget about stats for a minute. ORtiz has won so many games this year it's not even funny. Timeliness of hits is not a measured stat. If it was, Ortiz would blow away anyone.

Forget about stats for a moment guys.

I think the question should be, who would be in worse shape w/o these guys? With the BoSox pitching in shambles (even worse than the Yankees imo), you would have to say Ortiz means more to his team than ARod. In the end, it'll probably come down to who wins the division, and what happens in the next 3 games between the two teams.

That's why I say that Rivera should win it (I know he won't). He's definitely the most valuable Yankee. They Yankees cannot win without him, period. He's the reason they are where they are.

Okay, let me spell this out. You claim Arod has the best stats period

Arod leads in BA, OBP
Ortiz leads in RBI, Doubles, and clutch hits

They're tied in HR and SLG.

It seems to me he doesn't have the "best stats period."

Also, MVP isn't about STATS, it's about value to the team, and Ortiz has more value to the Sox than Arod to the Yanks.

If they didn't give it to Pedro a few years ago they shouldn't give it to him.

You are absolutely correct. Rivera IS more valuable to the Yankees than Arod is. Tell that to Tylanner, MVP isn't solely about stats. 🙂

It's much more difficult to make the argument for a starting pitcher who only impacts one game in five.

If you're arguing stats, clutch hits is not a stat.
