A healthy Ohtani is the best player in baseball. PCA has a career .250 average.


He was healthy 3 weeks ago and this woulda been wrong then. Then PCA went Barry Bonds since.

A healthy Ohtani WAS the best. He’ll be 33 years old next year. His time is over

PCA was a 30/30 guy last year. Don’t act like this is some Brady Anderson shite. And he’s 24 years old. He will be an 8 WAR player for the next 6-8 years
Where did you get that I think this is comparable to Brady Anderson? I’m not even sure what your point is.

PCA is obviously in an elite-above elite player, I wouldn’t deny that. I do take issue with it not being arguable he’s not the best player on the planet.

Is the MVP award not given to the best player on the planet? PCA should win it unanimously

He’s benefitting this year from Ohtani and Judge being injured. I say this as an Astros fan as Yordan will benefit too.

Someone mentioned it earlier but Karl Malone won an MVP in the 1990s. Was he better than Jordan?

He’s benefitting from being a better all around player than judge. If Ohtani is still pitching, we’d have an argument. But not at the plate

Was MJ on the back side of his career? Cause Ohtani is. Judge too

Sure since Ohtani and Judge are hurt he’s the best player. Yordan is the best healthy hitter playing right now no doubt about that.

I guess PCA didn’t realize the season started before July.

Quite the leap there

Is “PCA best this year, Ohtani better overall” really that hard to understand?
