Vote for the Cubs 2010 MVP and LVP

Submitted by Rob G. on

I do this every year, so might as well keep up tradition. In a season wrapped in disappointment and deep fried in irrelevancy, someone was still the best player on the Cubs. Someone was also the worst. Check out the numbers and cast your vote after the jump.

2009 - Lee (MVP) and Soriano (LVP)

2008 - Geovany Soto(MVP)

Your 2010 MVP Candidates

Name OPS+/ERA+ WAR WARP Notes
M. Byrd  102  4.3  3.6 The bulk of the WAR value comes from generous numbers in his UZR defensive ratings which must be favorable to unnecessary dives.  He was out-OPS'd by Fukudome, Soriano and Colvin.
G. Soto  132  3.5  3.2 Generous OBP numbers thanks to being pitched around a lot while batting mostly in the bottom of the order. Nonetheless, his power came back after his disappointing 2008 season and you can't say he got himself out too often.
S. Castro  92  1.9 2.1
 Errors aside, he's got the range to play shortstop and is the first 20-year old to hit over .300 and qualify since A-Rod (I believe).
C. Marmol  170  3.1  3.9  Set a Cubs record for strikeouts by a reliever, turned in 38 saves, converting his last 17.
R. Dempster 112 3.5 3.2 200+ innings, over 200 K's, ERA+ north of 100 for third straight year.

Your 2010 LVP Candidates

Name OPS+/ERA+ WAR WARP Notes
D. Lee

 0.8 Tried to play through neck problems, got old.
A. Ramirez

0.9
 0.1 Big money, little performance.
R. Theriot
 71
 -0.3 0.1
 David Eckstein-lite.
C. Zambrano  130 2.4  3.5  Turned around his season in the 2nd half, but his loco act wore on everyone and seemed to be the beginning of the end of the 2010 season.
L. Piniella N/A N/A N/A Checked out around May, batted Lee/Ramirez 3/4 all year, left Soto in the 7th/8th spot, kicked a puppy.

I'll keep it open through the week and will get to our TCR prediction contest in the hopefully near future.

Tough to tag Z as the LVP because of his strong finish, but finished is what the Cubs were ... his first half wasn't nearly as bad as the numbers say, but after the incident v. the White Sox, the team's season was pretty much beyond recovery.

wtf...baseball-reference.com has removed matt murton's japanese stats (usually found under minors stats). they've also removed alex ramirez's 2010 stats-in-progress. odd.

Even though he's not a player, I guess the P could stand for "personage" and that made Pinhead the clear cut winner for me. The only thing I could remember him doing right all year long was moving Zambrano to the pen. At each turn he seemed to analyze each of his alternatives, then carefully pick the worst possible one... then go into the post game press conferences and say "I am doing everything I can" - incomepetence and deflection, the perfect combo for an LVP. Marmol got my vote, just because he made 1 in 3 games entertaining, trying to strike out his 18 batters/9.

    just waiting to hear patrick wisdom and masterboney are spotted at the airport going in opposite directions...

    aj puk going for the marlins (lefty)...gotta imagine we'll see wisdom in the lineup.

    someone has to make room for taillon, too.

  • crunch (view)

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).
