MVP ballot seems to be messed up Topic

I know that historically, people have complained about defensive performance being too heavily weighted, but it seems like they've changed something in the coding, and obvious MVP candidates are being left off the ballot entirely.

We just finished a season in Clemente, and the world includes the following three players:
A.) An AL 1B, playing for an 89-win team, 67 HR, 154 RBI, .941 OPS, played all 162 games, made 2 plus plays and 3 minus plays, committed 4 errors for a .997 fielding% and a 10.00 range factor.
B.) An NL 1B, playing for a 105-win team, 64 HR, 147 RBI, 1.039 OPS, played in 159 games, made 0 plus plays and 3 minus plays, committed 4 errors for a .997 fielding% and a 9.96 range factor.
C.) Another NL 1B, playing for a 72-win team (mine) which started 15-41 before he finally got hot, 56 HR, 132 RBI, .928 OPS, played 156 games at 1B (and 6 at DH), made 15 plus plays against 0 minus plays, made 2 errors for a .999 fielding% and a 9.68 range factor.

None of these guys made it onto the MVP ballot for postseason awards. And most of the players that did make the ballot have much less impressive numbers. Is HBD suddenly weighing factors that are causing unintended discrimination against first basemen? It seems as recently as last season, at least 2 of these guys would've been shoo-ins to make the top 5 and likely would've won the award after voting finished.
