That is why on radio shows and other media... they get into the MVP .vs POTY when the MVP award comes out... VALUE can be on a losing team, or brought by leadership... but the way that MVP has been handled, it is generally done like a POTY, which is the best statistical production.... I purposely went with POTY because in that way we base it in measurable performance... not value which is subjective

While I appreciate Rah-Rah-Rah attitude... there is no basis, whatsoever, to think that this team (with or without Tejada or Mora or Loewen, or whomever else) is going to be any sort of playoff contender... while the SP staff has improved the 2nd most in the ML compared to last season, we are still a pretty bad team overall with some sparks of talent in between.... we won't see the sunny side of .500, let alone even come close to the 92 or so wins it would take to contend for any playoff spot in the AL

And as for Millar... I whole heartedly believe that if we lost him, he would be easily replaced by any number of average veteran players in this league
