And don't give me a bunch of crap about fielding and runs saved and WAR and runs created and the like. Don't care. Manny should have won the MVP in 1999.
I do not think a starting pitcher who only plays every 5 days and therefore in about 20% of all the games in a season should be eligible for the MVP either.
Blow me.
