See, here's a perfect example. You broke down the stats, I wasn't originally aware of the injury, if you break down the stats with the injury taken into account their numbers are close.
Yet, I pick Ortiz for MVP and "It's the stupidest thing you ever said"
you pick Hafner and it's somehow the right vote?
The stats are close, so it's an opinion question. Yet only your opinion seems to count.

I don't have any problem with picking Ortiz for MVP. He's an excellent candidate. The reason I said it was dumb was because of your reasoning. Your 2 points were:
1. Ortiz has better stats than Hafner.
2. Hafner hasn't been there all year to help his team.
The first one is untrue and the second one is ridiculous. In my mind, A-Rod is the MVP and Ortiz and Hafner are close but I give a slight edge to Hafner. If you think Ortiz is MVP that is fine as long as you back it up with a valid argument.
If you want to pick Bartolo Colon for Cy Young, fine, but if you want to pick Colon because he could beat Johan Santana in a game of chinese checkers, that's stupid.
