It's hard for me to take any league or sport seriously when they vote guys as MVPs and their team didn't even make the postseason. 

[QB Eagles]

Philosophically it makes sense. One guy doesn't mean shtein in baseball. A guy could hit 0.420 and 80 homers and still be on a last place team through no fault of his own. In basketball, you put Steph Curry on the Sixers and they are no longer the Sixers. Part of his expected role would be carrying the team.

I look at it like this....whether you miss the playoffs by 20 games or by virtue of a tie breaker,  you've brought the same value to your team either way, which was not enough to move onto the 2nd season and compete for a chip. So how can that be the most valuable player in the entire league?

Leagues need to have a separate award for best player, which could be anyone.

[ice grillin you]

there is no most valuable player in baseball its only the best...like qb said baseball is an individual sport played by teams much more than it is a team sport...in fact it wouldn't be uncommon in baseball to take the best player off a playoff team and that team still make the playoffs

i dont even pay attention to the letters mvp in baseball....its meaningless

[MDS]

harper won only because there was legit no other candidate

but thats kinda the point in baseball

[ice grillin you]

no other candidates is def true...but his year was off the charts and would have won in more years than not

[MDS]

possibly, but generally they side with someone who made the playoffs

its just that there was no one remotely qualified among the playoff teams
