Your criteria should be called "Most Underpaid Player". It is more of an insult than an honor. If you receive that award you know you got screwed over the most by your boss.

Updated Minor League System Ranking - Bleacher Report
DJL44 replied to sjunisu's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
The pitching in the minors was very thin before the draft, nobody in the top 100 or probably even the top 150. Festa is not considered a high upside guy. -

No, it most definitely should not. That has never been the criteria for the MVP award and it should never be the criteria for the MVP award. The MVP is the player who contributes the most on the field to his team's success. Their salary is completely irrelevant to the discussion.

Which Twins Left-Handed Outfielder Should Go?
DJL44 replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Thanks for bringing this up. There is nothing you get from Gallo that you can't get from Kirilloff. What they need to do is drop one (or two) of their lefthanded bats and find a righthanded bat. They don't need Gallo AND Kepler AND Larnach AND Kirilloff AND Wallner on this roster (and I'm ignoring Julien and Nick Gordon). That was obvious when they added Gallo. -
But it doesn't matter for determining who the MVP is in a given year. If you want to give the front office an award for obtaining on-field value for the lowest cost you're more than welcome to do so.

Where will Jenkins and Soto rank?
DJL44 replied to Major League Ready's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
I hesitate to call someone who projects as a corner outfielder a "five tool" player. If he had plus speed he would profile in centerfield. I think they're both plus athletes with All-Star potential. -

Steve Cohen should have put an end to that line of thinking this offseason. The Angels have not been held back one bit because of Trout's paycheck. They have been held back because the Angels front office has been selecting the wrong players for his supporting cast. The rules for the MVP voting don't mention anything about production per dollar, just how good a player is on offense and defense. I would vote for MVP (and by corollary LVP) based on the rules, not on your alternate criteria. It's pretty clear to me the least valuable player for the Twins has been Jose Miranda.

I disagree completely. Value is all about how much the player helped his team win. What the player is paid is irrelevant to the discussion. Here are the MVP voting instructions: They don't have a (6) how little the player is paid because of MLB service time rules

They don't have to dominate to win in the playoffs, just play slightly above .500 baseball for a month.

First, you're reading something wrong. Correa has 1.0 fWAR Minnesota Twins Leaderboards » 2023 » Batters » Dashboard | FanGraphs Baseball Second, by that logic Mike Trout and Aaron Judge shouldn't win an MVP because they make too much money to be valuable. Only minimum salary All-Stars would win the award.

Correa isn't even close to the least valuable player on the Twins, let alone the entire American League.

The title "Folding Dallas Keuchel into 6 man rotation would be a wise choice for Twins" I don't think it's a wise choice at all.

I don't see them selling if they're at a .500 record. A .500 record probably wins this division. If they go 4-12 over the next 16 games then they probably sell. I think 7-9 is their worst 16 game stretch this whole season.

Where will Jenkins and Soto rank?
DJL44 replied to Major League Ready's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Jenkins #2, Soto 10-15 range, he's behind Festa and Raya for me but probably ahead of the injured Prielipp and Canterino. Jenkins and Lee have similar ceiling but Lee has the higher floor. -
