When he only mentions Judge as an impediment to winning MVP it insinuates that Judge is the only real impediment to Gunnar winning an MVP.   I can't say that Cal didn't have a Bobby Witt to contend with but the son is a lot more valuable than the father.

So he should list all the candidates for MVP.  What a top 10 list maybe a top five. Nobody thinks Gunnar is even in the question for MVP. That’s why I said it’s obvious.

Naw, but maybe list the folks clearly in front of him this season that have signed long term deals with their current team.

Mentioning Judge and not mentioning Witt is an odd choice.

Well, judge is going to win MVP there’s no debate. Even if there is a slight debate for Witt to win, he’s not gonna win.

Not sure what difference that makes?

Right now, in my mind at least, Gunnar has three main impediments to winning the AL MVP.

Judge, Witt and himself.

Maybe we'll show equal respect in upcoming games to both Judge and Witt by intentionally walking them nearly 100% of the time.

Some moments of Joe Maddon v. Bryce Harper rigor near for any club those guys happen to be competing with.

Heck, even Gunnar himself might draw some if none of the rest of the bats revive.

Yep and by saying himself, I’d say his defense has been a major disappointment

I think his defense was a major disappointment for about 2 weeks.  Other than that he's been fine.

You should go check the defensive metrics . Two weeks
