South Side Sox Reacts: Miguel Vargas is your MVP
The breakout star prevails — but readers had votes for six different players overall
It was, admittedly, an impossible question: Who is the White Sox first-half MVP? With an impressive eight players hovering at least at the 2.0 WAR-level (i.
e. “starter” value for a full season) and no absolute standout as the clear MVP for the early season, our survey dished out many options.The results were a little bit less spread out than anticipated, but a wide variety of players got support:Currently leading in team WAR (as he has for much of the season), Davis Martin, received surprisingly low support, at 10%.
But he may have suffered from the pitching side of things being the clear weakness of the team.It’s also interesting that, if you consider the fact that Sam Antonacci has played roughly a month’s worth of games fewer than his fellow regulars given not being called up to the majors until May, his support might be considered equal to that of voting leader Miguel Vargas. Finally, shout-out to Sean Burke, who’s had a great season and currently ranks fourth on the team in WAR, who was part of the survey but received no votes.
There was another array of national questions this week, starting with a look at GMs in trouble. Maybe David Stearns should never have left Milwaukee:This next question was, frankly, not too sharp. It’s not really that the MLB draft should be revamped, but how.
There are so many directions to go with changing the draft, including number of rounds, bonus pools, eligibility, international players and date it’s held. Interestingly, slightly more than half of respondents say the draft if fine as it is:The final question focused on what started out as, and has continued to be, one of the most surprising and weirdest trades made this decade:Talk about two teams who probably want to take this trade back!Did you miss out on this round of questions?
