Yea, Mancini totally should have beat out Judge.  I know Judge hit 52 HR that year and had an 8 win season but he plays for the Yankees and that's the only reason he won.

 

I didn't say Mancini should have won over Judge, he should have been 2nd. Benetindi wasn't as good as mancini. Boston gets the same treatment as Yankees.

rWAR- Mancini 2.4  Benetindi 2.8

fWAR- Mancini 1.6  Benetindi 2.0

I'm not seeing how Mancini was robbed of a second place finish.

If you ignore defense Mancini has a good argument.   And there have been plenty of times that voters ignored defense.   One does wonder how the votes would have gone if the situation had been reversed.   But I’m certainly not shedding tears over the choice.   It’s highly defensible and Judge lapped the field anyway so who really cares?
