Chipper Delgado

By Tangotiger, 02:35 PM

Through June 30, Chipper Jones after 71 games had this line:
BA OBA Slug%
.394 .485 .630
He seemed a shoe-in for MVP. From July 1, Delgado after 73 games is:
BA OBA Slug%
.320 .403 .629

Combined, this perfect hitter after 140 games:
.355 / .443 / .630, with 39 HR, 102 R, and 111 RBI.

Albert Pujols after 142 games:
.348 / .453 / .631, with 34 HR, 94 R, 106 RBI.

Albert Pujols is the same as Chipper’s incredible first half AND Delgado’s revitalized 2nd half.

Perhaps Delgado or Manny winning MVP will be the catharsis we need for us to finally ignore BBWAA’s voting on the matter.

"Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
