Pitchers for MVP?

By Tangotiger, 10:19 AM

Would you pay Verlander 30MM$ for his performance for 2011?  Would you for Bautista, Pedroia, and Jacoby?  Yes?  They’re all candidates.

Would you trade Verlander straight up for Granderson, if you were guaranteed their performances?  Yes?  They’re all candidates.

Forget the bullsh!t about the one game in 5.  It’s irrelevant, since you guys agreed with me in the two above paragraphs.  And I didn’t use a single number.
