You are on drugs if you do not think Papi is MVP caliber. He is one of the best, if not THE best, hitter in the game. Sure he does not play the field but that does not take away from his offensive skills.

Do you really have to dislike someone simply because he is not a Yankee? - Shallow.

Almost every good hitter would have 1/2 the numbers if another good hitter was not behind him. What would AROD have if Giambi & Sheffield were not behind him?

Tom, MVP is not all about hitting. I will take an all around player any day of the week. The only thing he can do is hit the ball. He can't run, he can't field. A player who can do all three is much more usefull to their team.

Why is it shallow because I do not like him? No it isn't because he isn't on the yankees. there have been players on the yankees that I disliked as well. I dislike him because of his attitude. Do I think he is a great hitter? Sure he is.

As for Arod's numbers, sure his OFFENSIVE numbers would have been less if he didn't have Sheff and Giambi behind him. But his DEFENSIVE numbers and contributions would have been the same. Also, with the players behind him, 99/100 times there is no need for ARod to run but there have been times he has had to run to get rid of the chance of a dp or get in scoring position for Sheff. He finished with 21 stolen bases. Does Papi even know what one of those is? :dunno:

:edited: Yes he does, he's had 5 in his career :reechy:

You made a post about not liking Red Sox fans who knock on Yankee players because they are Yankees.

You then followed up my post about you not liking MVPapi with you not having to like him because he is not on your team.

Maybe shallow was an incorrect term to use...hypocritical seems more appropriate. If you miss typed somewhere please let me know.

As for Papi's attitude I do not know of a more fun-loving, positive individual. How could you dislike that attitude??

Manny is a better candidate for MVP than Ortiz is. I don't know why people ride his shit. He's the Most Valuble Hitter, but not even close to the MVP. Rodriguez is pretty much a shoe-in.

The only way Damon is not going to be with the Red Sox next year is if Theo and Co. trade Manny to the Mets for Beltran. Otherwise I see the Red Sox signing Damon to a contract similar to Varitek's and the Sox picking up a 1B like Konerko, Dunn, or Overbay and going after a pitcher like Burket.
