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.

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too.

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I don’t see Tauchman as a weak link in any position. He simply adds his value in a different way.

    I don’t know that we gain much by putting him in the outfield - Happ, Bellinger and Suzuki and Tauchman all field their positions well. If you’re looking for Taucnman’s kind of AB in a particular game I don’t see why it can’t come from DH.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Tauchman gets a pinch hit RBI single with a liner to RF. This is his spot. He's a solid 4th OF. But he isn't a DH. 

    He takes pitches. Useful. I still believe in having good hitters.

    You don't want your DH to be your weak link (other than your C maybe)

  • crunch (view)

    bit of a hot take here, but i'm gonna say it.

    the 2024 marlins don't seem to be good at doing baseballs.
