Well done Harper.

Coin toss between Trout and Donaldson.

Is Donaldson the superior defensive player to Trout? I thought I read that in an article on a #fancystats website (and IIRC, AINEC), but I'm not sure.

It's always tough to compare players from different positions, but I personally think Donaldson is a bit better.

He is. Probably the best in baseball at his position.

Trevor Rosenthal got a vote.

 

[DougieSmash]

He is. Probably the best in baseball at his position.

He is not better than Machado with the glove, so i don't know for what u talkin about.

You think he's better than Arenado or Machado? That's debatable.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

The Jake should have won mvp. Or Kris Bryant.

He's better at tagging with it, just ask Manny.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Trevor Rosenthal got a vote.

Not only a vote... a 6th place vote. That voter had Rosenthal ahead of Votto and Arrieta.

It is which is why I said probably.

Personally for me it is Arenado-Donaldson-Machado in that order but it isn't a big enough gap between the three that it is crazy to take one over the other two defensively.

 

[darko]

It's pretty close between Machado, Donaldson, Arenado and Beltre.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Fair enough. I wouldn't argue with you if you picked any one of those three.

No idea.

Congrats to Donaldson.

Mike Trout - four consecutive the best player on the planet - just one mvp award.
