00:00I mean, the debate now is, is he the MVP or is Jordan? We saw that Aaron Judge very honestly
00:06said that it should be a hitter. I happen to agree with him. What do you think? You have a
00:11vote. I'm
00:11putting you on the spot. Yes. Who gets the vote? Is Schlittler the MVP or Jordan Alvarez?
00:17I love this conversation because it's so controversial, you know, and there's so
00:21many different varying opinions. My first thing would be to Aaron Judge would be, you know,
00:25I understand your sentiment. I understand, John, your sentiment, but maybe we need to change the
00:29rules then, you know, under the current rules, you know, a pitcher can win the MVP. So it creates
00:35this debate. Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe this, we should keep this going exactly the way it is.
00:39Now, with that being said, we look at the field, right? Jordan Alvarez, Bobby Witt Jr. I still
00:45believe the old school thing that I learned from you guys was if you take that, what does value mean?
00:50What does most valuable mean? Not stats. If you took Schlittler off the Yankees this year,
00:55where would they be? If you took Bobby Witt off the Royals, Bobby Witt Jr. off the
00:59Royals this year, where would they be? If you took Jordan Alvarez, now this is a good one. If you
01:03took Jordan Alvarez off the Astros, where would they be? So in terms of the subjective, most valuable
01:09part of this award, Schlittler's right up there. He deserves definitely strong consideration.
