2013LHP,

Thanks, wow, Verlander was second for pitchers in 2011. Who was #1? BTW, didn't Verlander get the triple crown for pitchers in the American League last year? I thought it was fairly unanimous among the experts that he was the best pitcher in baseball last year.

Someone mentioned earlier that Zobrist was first in WAR in the National League last year. I would never have guessed that. Should Zobrist been considered the MVP last year if he did that? After all, he hit .269 with 20 HRs and 91 RBI that year. His stats are arguably better this year. Maybe he is underpaid.

Very good player, no doubt, but is he considered the best or most valuable player in the game by anyone? In fact, wouldn't most people think Longoria is the best player on that team?
