Ya, I don't even have any idea how good Duffey has been in AAA this year, too lazy to look.
You'd think they would have someone with more experience to go to, but their rotation isn't very good so perhaps not.
Either way, we did him a favor, he only has to pitch a few innings! Ha.
well, he'll always remember it.
also I haven't posted this in a while for a Bautista HR.
also, did Buck just say he wrote that article?
No, he didn't write it. Arden Zwelling did.

The fact that I know these numbers will be heavily weighted upon (along with the Yankees being in contention) makes the voting process terrible.

I have Kipnis and Machado over Tex for MVP. Kipnis doesn't have the HR's, but he can flat out rip it and also plays good D at 2B. Machado is elite defensively and also has the power this year.

If we're going to base candidacy entirely on offensive performance, then Nelson Cruz is a better option than Teixeira. Cruz has had the better season regardless, but he's been one of the five best offensive players in the league this season.
Trout, Donaldson, Kipnis, Machado and Cain have been incontrovertibly better this season; Teixeira has been great, but he's not (or shouldn't be) a legitimate MVP threat (Trout really should be the unanimous choice for the award) at the moment.

3B are going to have more errors than 1B, it's just the nature of the position.

And he's great at first base, but in terms of position there isn't a deeper and weaker set of positions defensively than 3B and 1B in the AL.
Donaldson is going up against Beltre, Machado, Longoria, Headley, Lawrie, and Moustakas.
Teixeira has had to go up against Adrian Gonzalez and more recently Eric Hosmer.

Lol, I think Donaldson deserves the MVP but to say Tex has no business being mentioned is Ludicrous, he has a lot to do with the Yankees being in 1st place
I am noticing you seem to be very wrongly critical about Jays stuff
sorry but I will take Donaldson and I don't think its close
Donaldson>Mark
even on D I take Donaldson

1 plays the hot corner with the best range for a 3B in the game. The other catches throws from other fielders. Errors are a terrible thing to measure the difference between the 2. There are far fewer balls hit to a 1st baseman.
