2747041, RE: Vladdy should be MVP especially if he wins the Triple Crown Posted by McLaren212, Thu Sep-23-21 02:05 PM
As everyone else already stated what Ohtani is doing is historical. While Vlad is an ELITE hitter, he has 3 other guys on his team that are having great years - Semien (3rd in fWAR), Bichette and Teoscar and whenever he is healthy Springer is elite. I point this out only bc it helps his counting stats like Runs + RBIs.
If you swapped Ohtani for Vlad, the Blue Jays would be a better team bc a) he's much faster and b) could pitch at an elite level.
If the playoff started he would be Toronto's 3/4 hitter and the #2 starter behind Robbie Ray (he's having an absurd season).
