Top 10 Award Snubs of the past 10 years

[ciaban]

Again, 06 NL MVP, biggest snub of the last decade I'm fairly certain.

no, there is no god damn way that braun deserved the MVP over Kemp.

Kemp did everything better, including defense, he was the best player in the league.

[NJBASEBALL22]

I think all of them are good, except for #1... Rollins has a good defense for winning MVP.

J. Roll's defense and base running have an impact. Holliday's home v. away splits...Holliday was still good on the road but only good. .722 slugging home vs .485 slugging away and his OBP drops 60 points as well and his BA drops 40 points too. Holliday was a negative defender in LF.

Braun Vs Kemp was 2011 not 2006..

Kemp's wOBA: .413
Braun's wOBA: .426

Kemp's Fld: -4.6
Braun's Fld: -3.8

Kemp's K%: 23.1%
Braun's K%: 14.8%

I'd say it was a bit of a coin flip myself. Their numbers where actually fairly similar, with both having slight leads in multiple categories.

Cabrera over trout will be the new number 1 come Thursday..what a shame...

Wright was better than both of them in 2007.

8.8 fWAR compared to Holliday's 7.7 and Rollin's 6.9 (Shea Stadium was a lot less hitter friendly than Citizen's Bank and Coor's Field that year)

Wright also had the highest rWAR of the three. (8.1 to 5.8 for Holliday and 5.5 for Rollins)

Wright was essentially robbed by the Met's terrible finish.

How on earth did you get Braun vs Kemp for the 06 NL MVP?

Braun was in Double A, and Kemp only played 52 games in the big leagues.

I didn't say last years MVP, last year it was close, tiny edge to Kemp, but not a snub

[Jeffy25]

I'm not going to rank them, but here are my list of snubs since 02.

There are debetable snubs, like 11 and 05 NL Cy Youngs, but here are, 'these were messed up' awards


07
Wright should have won over Jimmy Rollins

06
Santana should have won over his team mate Justin Morneau
Pujols clearly should have won over Ryan Howard

05 Santana clearly deserved it over Bartolo Colon

04 Ichiro probably should have won, but Vlad def shouldn't have won. Not sure who really should have won, Ichiro makes a lot of sense though.
Johnson should have beat Clemens

02 A-Rod was way better than Tejada
Prior deserved it over Gagne


Didn't mess with Roy

so I got 8, clear snubs, 2 more debatable one's, and I only agree with Romo on the 02 AL MVP, and the 04 NL Cy Young. And while I agree there are some snubs at a few other years, we don't agree on who should have won.

[metswon69]

Wright was also better defensively than Rollins and Holliday in 2007.

Highest UZR and DRS of the three.

Zito (bless his precious soul) shouldn't have won the Cy Young award over Pedro Martinez in 2002. No one mentioned that one yet really?

I wouldn't really call that one a snub. There was at least debate for it. Pedro probably should have won, but Zito didn't turn in a 05 Colon type of season or anything.

[spliff(TONE)]

Ha. Way more of a snub than most of that original list. Pedro crushed Zito in just about everything but wins and IP that year.

[Jeffy25]

Ha. Way more of a snub than most of that original list.

Have to agree with you there.

[Havoc Wreaker]

I think #4 should be #1 or #2, Holy ****!!!

Also to the Barry Bonds one , it could've gone either way and it went the correct way

[spliff(TONE)]

....Pedro had about double the WAR of Zito even though he pitched 30 less innings in 2002.
