Ernie Clement would be third MVP...played 4 positions, contributed have to ut a pitcher somewhere in top5 - Hoffman?
I agree. Clement is one of the best utility players in MLB and hits .400 against lefties and .300 over all. Better than Vlad
As Vlad can not play short or second Clement may be more valuable than Vlad.
An essential and unheralded job that requires a skill set few have
Is Barger a MVP ahead of Vlad? Why not? Gun for an arm. Great bat speed. Can play more positions, more homers than Vlad with a 100 less at bats and a better OPS. Barger is a natural. I love the way he lifts his front leg in the box and never swings too early or lose his balance
Clement is worthy of being in All Star game but they want big names who hit homers, not utility players or great defensive players. The All Star game is not a true All Star game IMHO.
Not a surprise as MLB wants ratings
Hoffman maybe by end of year but not yet IMHO
Consider this as Jays MVP list and Vlad is not in top 5
1 Springer
2 Kirk
3 Clement
4 Barger
5 Hoffman
