Can K-Rod win MVP?

I ask because in 1992, Dennis Eckersley won the AL MVP award. That year, the 2nd and 3rd place finishers didn't have an OPS over .900 so while it was a down year, the fact that a closer won the MVP award is shocking considering they rarely even win the Cy.

So, if K-Rod keeps this up, and finishes with an ERA around 1.70 with a K rate of around 10 and approached the save record, combined with the Angels finishing with one of the best records in the league, is it possible he could win the MVP award?

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I tend to disagree with is perspective being as relevant now. Traditionally attendance was influenced/dependent upon the opponent draw. Our fans wanting to see “the better teams” and the bigger fan bases visiting the Yard. However, I believe that times have changed. Because we have so many homegrown stars and such an excellent team, the O’s are much more of a draw themselves since the days of Cal Ripken. The Oakland series will be well attended. Early this week I purchased tix to next Sunday’s game and there were very few sections that had 4 tix available. And this is for the lowly Athletics.

      Means discusses his timetable to return

      By RZNJ · Posted

      The Orioles are the one team that has an investment in him, both monetary and emotional.   They are the one team incentivized to have him pitch in the majors this year. What ML team, rebuilding or not, wants to take a pitcher who’s given up 14 hits, including 5 home runs, in 7 AAA innings, stick him in their bullpen, so he can keep accumulating FA service time? What’s their incentive?   That he’s going to magically turn into the 2021 John Means and they can flip him at the deadline?    While it’s possible that he regains form, I don’t think there’s a ML team willing to take the lumps on a longshot.

      Holliday 2024 fWAR expectations

      By Can_of_corn · Posted

      If you had a team full of "OK" 3 wins guys you'd do really well. The O's had two position players last season that had 3 fWAR.

      Stephenson - Injured Brasier - 4.50 ERA Robertson and Ottavino are killing though. Fuji - 9 ERA in AAA Uwasawa - 6.30 in AAA These are the names from the offseason that I remember.

      David Rubenstein 2024

      If we're going to wait a bit on any Henderson, Holliday, or Rutschman extension... I'd like to see Rubenstein make extending Kevin Brown a priority. If for no other reason than to show that this organization will be run differently than the previous regime, and good employees will be rewarded.
