MVP isn't the best stats award.

And no one has him beat in any defensive categories, plus he was top 5 in batting average. His offensive numbers are actually pretty impressive placed next to Posey because Molina's played more games at catcher (like 30 more).

Posey: .336 with 24 home runs, 103 RBIs and a 7.2 WAR
Yadi: .315 with a 22 homers, 76 RBIs and a 6.7 WAR

But Molina threw out 47.9 percent of runners attempting to steal and allowed just 38 stolen bases. Posey gave up 87 stolen bases, and only threw out 30.4 percent of base-stealers.

Overall, Molina was just as good, if not better, than Posey.

These homer ass, spiteful ass, Skip Bayless troll ass baseball writers really make me sick.

Let me guess, because Trout didn't start the year on the team & because his team didn't make the playoffs? He was the sole reason why his team didn't end up in last place by tanking in July.

These writers know Trout is gonna win anyway, so they fukk around & go the other way to be cute & possibly bring attention to themselves. These guys should be grilled heavily when they do things like this.
