    Buxton's gonna need to be wrapped in bubble wrap for him to make it to enough games

  • @thepoisonouspotato3631

    Fun fact, Yordan was 3rd in voting last year and Altuve came in 5th place, nobody hit more lead off home runs in 2022 than Jose Altuve

    Buxton has only played 100+ games once in his career since 2015. No way he's going to compete for MVP based on that trend. He'll need to be mechanically reconstructed if he wants to play all season.

    As long as Ohtani stays healthy and continues to play two-way, he is the MVP. The only way to beat him is to have a historic performance like Judge did last year. But if Ohtani's pitching and hitting are both better than ever, it's game over.

      It its like that it's stupid, not fair!! Othani every season he going to be a pitcher and batter so just fo that the y have to give him the MVP?? So it's doesn't count the other numbers

      @@thelastaavenger3370 There is a metric called WAR that is more accurate than your ridiculous subjectivity. According to that metric, the only person who exceeded Ohtani last year was Judge, and as you know, he was the MVP. Ohtani is not cheating to get that number, he is actually playing two-way, so of course he will be evaluated fairly.

      @KanetsuguNaoe1112 the MVP is not for WAR only, if every year Othani has a good season even he is not the best batter or pitcher so what is the point just give them the MVP every year

    Here’s what people need to learn about Byron Buxton. He will probably will only play in half of the games: 81. In half of the games that he DOES play, he will probably only DH and not play center field: 41. In those 41 games , he is still limited by the Twins management to not steal bases and is not encouraged to dive for balls as much as he is.
    The dude is pure glass and it’s amazing that his career isn’t over. He is super talented, but is completely showered with injury precautions. He will never be MVP.

    If I had to anticipate which player will have the best season out of the group highlighted here, I say Buxton or Yoshida, no question. They’re both going to surprise people.

    Actually in Japan,many of NPB OB commentators admired Yoshida's batting skill than NPB 3-crown hitter Murakami. There is no doubt that Yoshida's batting skill is the best in NPB.
    It's not strange that He'll do well than Matsui Hideki🦖

    No disrespect to the players but MVP is gonna be won by whoever MLB decides to 'help' aka provide with juiced balls or whatever else they have up their sleeves. Ohtani had 30+ HR, 200+ Ks and a historic achievement (1st in MLB history to qualify as batter and pitcher) and MLB and it's outlets sh"t on him for months. Rigged sport.
