How is he playing 163?

A tie with Toronto.
Maybe if he hadn't have forearm-shivered Fernando Vina.
One of the downfalls of relying on media voting for MVP/Hall of Fame is that if you're prickly with the media, they'll take their revenge on you come award/Hall time.

Would certainly get higher than 8th, that's for certain

Stats like this in today's game would almost certainly garner a 1st or 2nd place finish.

So to bring this into more context, here are 2019s MVPs.
Trout
134 Games
110 Runs
137 Hits
45 HRs
104 RBI
.291 AVG
1.083 OPSBellinger
156 Games
121 Runs
170 Hits
47 HRs
115 RBI
.305 Avg
OPS 1.035Bellinger loses to Belle, but Trout with a full season would of still won. My god Trout is on another level when you look at the stats, he's good, everyone knows that but just looking at the stat line drives it home even further.

Bellinger was worth 9.1 bWAR vs. Belle's 7.1 bWAR and played a harder position - RF vs. LF. I doubt he loses to Belle....if the vote was still in 2019. In '98 tho...who knows.

Yeah you have to factor in defence... at least a little bit.

If Belle hadn’t been such a colossal Richard, he would have done a lot better. You don’t throw a couple baseballs in anger at a Sports Illustrated photographer (which happened in ‘96) and expect not to have the rest of the press corps hold a grudge when they cast their votes. When he hit a fan who had been heckling him about his drinking square in the chest with a ball in ‘91, that was more deserved, but still... you can’t do that either.

Even worse, he dissed Skip Bertman.
You. Just. Don't. Do. That.
