November 16, 20178 yr who the hell voted for Stanton as 6th? Someone who needs their vote taken away! Along with anyone who didn't have Stanton in their top three
November 16, 20178 yr Lmao it's funny to look at how every single one of these guys who have their team present rig it so their guy gets 1st and the likely winners get 4-6. So dishonest.
November 17, 20178 yr Tracy Ringolsby That guy hates the Marlins for some reason. I remember from 2004-2005, he would constantly write shit about the Marlins
November 17, 20178 yr Tracy Ringolsby Figures, always a hater. He can go take his cowboy hat and shove it up his redneck ass
November 17, 20178 yr I thought Tracy Ringolsby was a woman for many years. I was floored when I finally saw him.
November 17, 20178 yr To anyone who actually thinks Votto should have won MVP, to me the biggest difference between Votto and Stanton besides the numbers is that Stanton actually took his team from being way below 500 to being borderline contenders. The Reds stunk all season. They were 19-19 in mid May and never again had a winning record and upon hitting last place in mid June they didn't even touch 4th place for the rest of the season. As great a season as Votto had you'd think someone who was the MVP at some point would lead his team to more wins and out of the gutter. But alas the Reds fell to the bottom and stayed there. The Marlins were not great but once Stanton really heated up the team got to 66-63 in late August and within 1.5 games of a Wild Card spot. Sometimes taking a mediocre team to some wins is more impressive than leading a great team to wins. The Marlins fading away after that is irrelevant to the fact that Stanton was able to lead his team to more wins and to contendership. Votto had a great season but it did nothing to help his team out so how "valuable" is that?
November 17, 20178 yr I’m ecstatic for Big G. He deserved it. In true Marlins fashion, an ominous cloud hangs over this.
November 18, 20178 yr It appears to me this voting was not the norm. Isn't it true that most likely someone from the World Series team OR in the playoffs has the MVP? I don't believe the first five vote getters fit into this category.

November 18, 20178 yr Usually goes to a playoff team, not always. Dawson and A-Rod won on it on last place teams. Actually I'm extremely surprised the voting was this close. I didn't expect Joey V to be that high. And I don't believe he had any year-end awards to add to his collection.
