Wanted to place this on the basketball thread but some of the righteous whiners there would complain it has no business posted there but love all the crazy food and TV show, etc arguments.
Anyway - I fully agree that Mike Trout is an outstanding player - a baseball freak - and is arguable the best all around player.
I just don't see him as the most valuable player. Who was he valuable to? Himself? His Team? Would the Angels still not qualify for the playoffs without him this past season?
I know many will say that for years they give it to the best overall player but is that player always the most Valuable to his team?
I would love to see the nomenclature of the award be changed to Most Outstanding Player or give out 2 awards - the real MVP to their team and the MOP
Am I in the minority thinking this way?
