From a pure numbers standpoint, I have to give the edge to Beltran so far.

ScarletKnight41 Jul 29 2006 11:37 AM

I'm inclined to wait until October to consider this question.

Elster88 Jul 29 2006 11:40 AM

That's your prerogative. I can respect it.

TransMonk Jul 29 2006 11:40 AM

I'm with Elster...Wright's numbers may look more well rounded, but no one has helped this team in so many ways so far than Beltran.

cooby Jul 29 2006 11:51 AM

I'll tip my cap to Reyes, with Beltran a close second.

metirish Jul 29 2006 12:10 PM

I go with Beltran although it's a tough call, of course that's great for us to have more than a few guys to choose from.

Nymr83 Jul 29 2006 12:11 PM

though Wright blows everyone else away in my Schaffer totals i'll still go with Beltran

TheOldMole Jul 29 2006 12:50 PM

John Smoltz goes for Reyes. I think Beltran.

Wright early, but Beltran's coming on strong. Our Schaefer PotG give a bigger edge to Wright but I suspect that's because some vote based on personal likes & dislikes and Wright's generally more popular.

But Beltran is almost approaching Reyes' run scored numbers, and his OPS and RBI obviously blows Reyes' away, so I'm going to stick with Beltran.

One of the Braves announcers said Reyes last night after the other one said Wright.

Can there be any doubt now about the Mets MVP?...

Easy Elster, you don't want me to send you a .wav file of me singing my CPF song parody "Hotel Flushing" do you? =;)

Yes, he has quietly become our MVP. It's just nice that there are a bunch of strong runners up

MFS62 Jul 31 2006 08:23 AM

Moving up on the outside is Delgado. He was a major force earlier in the yeat when some players were injured, and he is now sizzling. If he manages to stay hot when others cool off, his late season surge will weigh heavily in the minds of the league voters. I liken this to Matsui (no, the Yankee one) two years ago. He was their MVP early in the season when they jumped to their big lead with many of his teammates injured or having slow starts, too. He cooled off just enough for Sheffield to compile better numbers at the end of the season. Sheffield got the MVP that I thought Matsui richly deserved. Just throwin' another name out there. Later

Benjamin Grimm Jul 31 2006 08:29 AM

Too many candidates on one team tends to keep all of them from winning. (I'm talking about league MVP here, not team MVP.) I think that Beltran has been the team's MVP this year, and the Schaefer results are starting to reflect that. Maybe the current totals do reflect a bias toward Wright, as someone mentioned above. Or maybe it's a result of allocating points on a game-by-game basis. If we were doing it month-by-month, for example, I think Beltran would have a solid lead.

Elster88 Jul 31 2006 08:57 AM

How the fuck did you add a poll to my thread?

Rockin' Doc Jul 31 2006 09:29 AM

The admins have amazing powers that boggle the comprehension of us mere posters.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 31 2006 09:31 AM

Fear the power.

Rockin' Doc Jul 31 2006 09:37 AM

Especially when they start to turn green.

Elster88 Jul 31 2006 09:51 AM

I don't really understand the David Wright votes.

soupcan Jul 31 2006 09:56 AM

I voted Jose but lotsa big hits from David.

Elster88 Jul 31 2006 09:56 AM

Ah, that's right. The mysterious clutchness.

Elster88 Jul 31 2006 09:57 AM

Jose is definitely the MVP of Chanting a Player's Name, at least.

cooby Jul 31 2006 09:58 AM

Elster, I figured you for one of the Wright votes

Elster88 Jul 31 2006 09:58 AM

I do love David Wright, but I started this thread to say that I think Beltran should be Met MVP.

cooby Jul 31 2006 09:59 AM

Yep, and I said Reyes, and ended up not voting for him :)

Johnny Dickshot Jul 31 2006 10:01 AM

wrong thread

Elster88 Jul 31 2006 10:02 AM

Which Carlos is "the other one"? I figured it was Delgado, since he was the new guy.
