Pressbox: Davis Named Most Valuable Oriole (Upset with No Extension Talk)

[weams]

Maybe someone is still mad that they did not get to cover a World Series Champion team and get the national exposure from it too.

I like Caleb Joseph but should he have been in the discussion for MVO?

No. But neither should Davis. It's Manny and it's not even close.

IIRC Johnny Bassler received significant MVP support three straight years in the early 20s.

No. But neither should Davis. It's Manny and it's not even close.

My vote was Davis 1st, Machado 2nd, Britton 3rd.

Hey, if Juan Gonzalez can win two real MVP awards can we expect Oriole voters to be that much better?

[DrungoHazewood]

Yes, but... Davis might not be in the 10 worst real MVP votes if he won the AL MVP this year.

Who does the voting? I would have picked Manny. He hbeen consistent all year. 6.7 fWAR to Davis' 4.9.

Manny has a couple more shots at MVO. This is likely to be Crush's last opportunity.

Sorry.

Half of OH, wanted Davis gone from the team, DFA for his sins and they were done with him.

Glad the team didn't do that, but, what did it accomplish, just the delay leaving for a season?

Well, (1) we wouldn't get a QO by non rendering him, right? (2) by that logic, why does any team that doesn't win the World Series even field a team?

Do players care much about these team awards? I'm sure they do in a "man, this is a nice honor" manner, but I don't think it goes that far with them in the long run. So I kinda wonder why they'd give it to a guy that's pretty likely to leave the team in about 30-60 days.

Put me down as someone that wants to wrap him up. I think it's going to be close to 6/150, personally, because I think someone will give him $25M a year. But it's hard to give another Oriole nearly twice as much money as AJ. At least from a fan's perspective/armchair GM. In the end, that will have nothing to do with negotiations, but it's something I think about at least.

I feel like after Davis and manny contracts we should consider doing some kid of restructure/extension for Adam as a show of good faith.

Does that ever happen in baseball?

Doesn't sound like a good idea.

"Said he felt like he won it OVER MANNY."

[BMann]

So it looks like, for the 2nd straight year, the MVO won't be on the team to start the next season. That'll make a great PR slogan!
