ThunderBolt Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Why isn't Ben Zobrist in this poll? I'd argue he's in the discussion for the second most valuable player in the AL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue he's in the discussion for the second most valuable player in the AL. Because I was just picking names as I went and spaced him. I apologize. Feel free to vote other if you want.

MattZakrowski Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 QUOTE (Felix @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 05:44 PM) He actually had the highest WAR in baseball, tied with Pujols. His defense was pretty damn good at 2B and RF, but it's still tough to make a case for him over Mauer. I think Mauer's would be higher if they could measure Catcher defense.

But the type of year Zobrist has had is still pretty impressive, considering how little he gets talked about by the media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zobrist's value is in his versatility, his offensive numbers are not as good as Mauer's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His offensive numbers aren't quite as good as Mauer's, but he did tie Teixeira for the third highest OPS in the league while having the fourth highest OBP (he also was third with a 144 OPS+, albeit 33 points behind Mauer). Add in his fantastic defense at both 2B and RF and you've got yourself a pretty valuable player. Edited October 7, 2009 by Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
