Fix MVP Award

Chicagofan76 · 12-02-2011, 11:26 AM

I decided to give my MVP award to my best pitcher, but he is listed with his offensive stats...Now my award does say best better not MVP ( I forgot to change it) but I would like to see the game recognize that he is a pitcher not a hitter, though he did hit well for a SP. 4th in AL in SB.

I think the kicker here is that it's really the Best Batter award, whatever the user might rename it. My guess is that Markus, realizing that historically the MVP has gone to hitters and the Cy to pitchers, treated the MVP as a hitter's award. I would like to see the MVP introduced as a separate award, keep the Cy as is, and add in the Silver Slugger as the hitter's award (I think the Silver Slugger was a by-position award as well, like the Gold Glove).
