MVP

fWAR says Rendon and Nelson Cruz are ahead of Anderson/Robert, but neither of those guys are winning AL MVP...well, it would be difficult to take a full-time DH with past PED's issues over Tim Anderson (who has missed a number of games) or Luis Robert.

The funny thing is how close the AL ROY race is now between Robert and Lewis (SEA), where you could make an argument Robert could lose RoY but somehow win the AL MVP, because of his importance defensively.

Abreu, btw, is 17th overall in fWAR, which is huge with the limitations on 1B fWAR.

 

Maybe the biggest stories in that Top 20 fWAR list are YAZ and Ian Happ coming out of seemingly nowhere.

I think the Sox MVP leaders are Abreu and Anderson, not Robert and Anderson.

Then we're arguing some "intangible/immeasurable" quality like clubhouse leadership/guidance/mentoring.    Abreu has definitely improved his defense, but Robert is likely to win the AL Gold Glove in his rookie season.

Imagine the White Sox outfield without Robert out there?

We can easily imagine McCann, Grandal, EE, Collins, Vaughn playing first, otoh.
