Only a pitcher who pitches great deserves to get the MVP and its only because pitching is at such a premium now that Id consider it. It would have to be an all time great season like the ones I listed because pitchers now only get to pitch in roughly 33-35 games a season, about 1/5th of a teams games, and an even smaller percentage of the actual innings played. I suppose back in other era's when teams had 3-4 man rotations I could give it a little more consideration because of the opportunity to impact more games.Alex44 said:So pitcher who pitches great cant get it in a time when pitching great is harder, and neither can a DH because he doesnt play the field?
I dont like giving it to a pitcher either BTW
But if say, the Jays go 31 and 3 in games Halladay starts, the team overall has a good record, and Halladay had a line of say 24w-3l-2.L a 2.20 or less era-220+ k and a sub 1 whip then yea I think that demonstrates enough dominance to earn the award.
