so did anyone see where john kruk picked chone figgins as his mvp - of all baseball? i'm probably chone's biggest fan here, but...where does one begin, really?
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=kruk/040924
in kruk's defense, i think he was going for an under the radar awards thing with this, but if so, he should've been more explicit about it. if i'm right, good for him i guess - i knew all about figgins, but i didn't realize lidge's stats were as eye-popping as they are. 143 strikeouts as a setup-man/closer???
but yeah, that's some really inane shit, all-round.
[sorry, should've posted this to the BBTN assface of the week thread but i didn't want to dig for it]

Kruk is the Professor Irwin Corey of analysis.
My ballot, in order:
Vladimir Guerrero 1
Johan Santana 2
Miguel Tejada 3
Ichiro Suzuki 4
Melvin Mora 5
Manny Ramirez 6
Carlos Guillen 7
Gary Sheffield 8
Travis Hafner 9
David Ortiz 10

nine years pass...
two years pass...
i dunno, looks like he slacked off on swatting at low & away and high & inside ones.
tho, 40-43% on balls gazing the surface of the plate is fantastic.
Dude could absolutely golf some pitches. What the bat could reach, Vlad could hit.
