2015 Donaldson, 2015 Harper, 2016 Bryant, 2017 Stanton, 2014 Trout, 2013 McCutchen would be some recent mvp winners I'd love to see
Give me 2015 Harper, but even more juiced as an awards card.
He would be a monster, as he was that season.
.Yup. Legendary season. They were talking flip flopping him and Trout 1-2 after that year... Oh how things change. Or went back to normal I guess lol
While we’re at it, give me a 2015 Cy Young awards arrieta that actually reflects that season better than his single season card does.

His bronze card is on the lower end, so I’m hoping they at least give him a monthly awards card for the month he threw the no hitter, we need more sinkerballing diamonds.

I’d love to use 2017 mvp Joey Votto. Oh wait...
Stanton was better and deserved it...
I think you mean Judge...

I guess it depends which stats your favor. Stanton had the clear power stats edge but Votto’s OPS (considered by many to be the best offensive stat) was nearly 30 points higher.
Both were on crappy teams so you can’t try to debate best vs “most valuable”. -

Stanton was the clear winner.
If anything, Bryant would’ve won it over Votto.

Stanton 2017 - 158 wRC+, 7.3 fWAR, with the traditional stats 59 HR/132 RBI
Votto 2017 - 163 wRC+, 6.5 fWAR, poor defense, with traditional stats of 36 HR/100 RBI..
Whether you're new or old school, it's pretty obvious really. How could anyone take Votto over Giancarlo when it's close in advanced metrics, but Stanton crushes him traditionally... Plus better defense

Baseball reference has Votto 8.1 Stanton 8.0. WAR is great for measuring careers but when you get to a tight MVP race for a single season it’s not quite as useful because everyone calculates it differently.

Exactly. It's so tight, so then you give it to the guy who hit literally double the amount of homers, drove in 30 more runs and played good D

fWAR is better for position players, bWAR is better for pitchers.
bWAR is known to overrate defense too highly. fWAR is much more reasonable.
Going by fWAR, Votto could’ve reasonably finished in 2nd-5th place. But nobody was close enough to Stanton in 1st.

It's close in advanced metrics, no doubt. But being so tight, you can't reasonably expect to get the winning votes when one of the guys hit 59 bombs and the other just walked a stupid amount. Voters will take 59 bombs everytime.
And by the way, I love Votto (Canadian)
And I dislike Stanton.

Okay guys, I concede. It’s just that in my opinion, the best offensive stats are stuff like OPS, wOBA, True Avg. and Votto led Stanton in all three. I’ll give you the home runs (although I don’t want to hear a thing about RBIs) and maybe the defense, although it’s tough to compare outfield defense to infield defense.
It’s subjective for sure and I understand the value to Stanton. It’s just that he’s a certain type of hitter, and Votto is a completely different type of hitter, and I’d rather have more guys like 2017 Votto than 2017 Stanton in my lineup. I don’t think you can say Stanton was the CLEAR winner. He only won by a vote anyway, IIRC. -

We need them to bring back some 2017 Finest cards. That card art was fantastic.

I tip my hat to you sir.
And yes, I agree, Votto had a slight slight edge on him in those categories. I brought up the traditional HR RBI point as in there's still a lot of relic voters out there.. I don't agree with RBI either but some of these writers were around to vote for George Bell in 1987...

For sure! That was before I started in DD, I’d love to try them out, especially if we don’t have a season to get any 2020 Finest (fingers crossed).

If we don't, they should have fans vote for each team's finest, then maybe add top 10 or 20 not picked based on WAR the last couple years..

I think they should do most of the recent mvp winners for sure! Maybe skip Altuve though lol
What's interesting about Altuve in 2017 is that his away splits were much better than his home splits... Most of the indications I saw of the Astros cheating was for home games.

Ya that's true, and interesting. Regardless if it helped him or not, it still happened...
Even then I'd take Judge's year in a clean fight...
