In 1988 Kirk Gibson was not the best player in the league. However he was the most valuable. And he won MVP. And rightly so.
If he wasn't the best, he wasn't the most valuable.

If it's not a number in a spreadsheet, PSBL can't possibly understand it.

It's why he doesn't watch the games.

I'm not arguing whether or not Gibson actually was the best, sj claimed he wasn't. If Gibson wasn't the best (by whatever way you judge "best"), he wasn't the most valuable.

Such a narrow mind. Such tunnel vision with your point of view.

That's why you're the clown of the forums.

most valuable + best in your opinion. Not every one shares your opinion. If the player in the league is on a last place team, how valuable was he? The team could finish last without him.
The best player in the league is always the most valuable player.
I do so love when you speak in absolutes. It highlights your massive stupidity.
I'm not saying the best player is always the one who gets the award. But the best player was always the most valuable.
So your mancrush Mike Trout is obviously the most valuable for about 10 years?

I don't know if he was clearly the best player this year. I might go with Judge.

He strikes out and walks too much.

Judge doesn’t swing enough. It’s Altuve or Trout

And yet he was still the best player in the AL. Funny how that works.

I can't believe we're having this argument again. If deciding who was the MVP is as simple as you say, why do they have a vote? If I am a multi-millionaire and someone offers me $100 its not all that valuable to me. If I have $200 to my name and some offers me $100 than that $100 is very valuable to me. Value is relative, and value is different to different people.
Value is not relative. The value of your home is X, regardless of your net worth. The value of a $100 bill is $100, regardless of your net worth.
Value is always relative. If I offer a nice fresh refrigerator box for bronxcheer to live in, it has GREAT value, whereas to the rest of us, it's just a piece of cardboard.

If MikeT has a signed Derek Jeter jockstrap, it has GREAT value to him, whereas to the rest of us non-Jeter-jock-sniffers, it's gross.
The value of both of those things is the same regardless of who owns them.
Wrong. And you keep being wrong. The amazing thing is that you are almost never right, which is hard to do.
The dictionary says he's right and you're wrong. We're not going to talk you out of believing what you want to believe, but again, there is an objective answer here. The refrigerator box, in like new condition, is worth about $10. The jock is probably worth more than we'd like to admit at auction. But those numbers are what they are. Value is intrinsic by definition. It is not situational. Value has no context. Again, not just my take, it's the dictionary definition.
No, its not. The worth might be the same no matter who owns the item, but the value to that person over to someone else can be different. Value and worth are not the same thing.

You're right, value and worth are not the same thing. And you somehow switched them in your head. Value is intrinsic, worth is extrinsic.

I was just posting how I love when dahs gets on his value definition soapbox
10/4/2017 1:17 AM
thank you for not making people go back and look for examples...
10/4/2017 1:18 AM
I only wish you had used your pet phrase about the willfully ignorant

MVP should actually be considered to be the award for the player that performed the best on the field, in relation to what his salary is.
