JUAN PIERRe GOT A VOTE
and not only 1 vote but it was a 7th plaace VOTE!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAH
wow!!!
and arod is severly underrated here
look at the teams record with and without him… they are borderline playoff team without him and they are the best team in mlb with him
Zobrist wasn't even the best player on his own team, let alone the AL!
If anything, he could make a case for comeback player of the year since he was terrible last season.
