Message: [QUOTE="Husky25, post: 5340645, member: 2839"] That's not necessarily always the case. Javy Lopez was the regular starting catcher for the Braves during their 90's-2000s run, but Eddie Perez was Maddux "personal catcher." Garver has started 42 games at catcher and has caught Woo (8) and Castillo (9), the Mariners' two best statistical starting pitchers, the most frequently. Judge, other than HR and RBI, is having the better statistical offensive season. Judge has also D.H.'ed 56 games and played under 800 innings in rightfield. Roughly half at Yankee Stadium. Be that as it may, Advantage: Judge. Cal Raleigh has played over 1,060 innings (120 games) at the most taxing position in the field. Raleigh also has an outside shot at picking up a third straight Gold Glove. Advantage: Raleigh. The predicted over/unders in March were 89.5 (1st ALE) and 84.5 (3rd ALW) for the Yankees and Mariners, respectively. Actual win totals with 3 games to go are 91 (T-1st) and 90 (1st), respectively. Irrespective of players being named MVP on last place clubs in the past, Cal Raleigh appears to be more valuable to his team and the player for whom I'd vote if given the opportunity. [/QUOTE]
