Loperfido: 0.7 WAR in 65 PA
Varsho: 0.6 WAR in 103 PA

Loperfido is the new MVP?

Can't play defense, unsustainable hot streak

But we can dream


true, Varsho is also on a unsustainable strikeout streak too!!!

MVP average Keeps plummeting. Varsho gonna be the only mvp that hits below 150 soon. Really is an outlier legend

You take your 500M man, I'll take Varsho

Yariel hasn't done anything to lose that high leverage spot, strange to move off him

Cool and him hitting sub 200 is still gonna be completely useless to us winning games.

Varland wasn't getting this kind of leverage with the Twins either, he was lower on the depth chart there

He'll probably be the 2nd most valuable player on the team the rest of the way

This is your whole Schtick is go with whoever didn’t **** up at the time. If yariel came in and gave up a home run you would e said should’ve gone with varland.

Considering our big run came without him I’d say his value is pretty meaningless in context of the actual game.

Doubtful, I've been a Yariel backer all season and Varland wasn't used in that kind of leverage with the Twins

Our big run came off a streak that involved Ernie Clement hitting .400 for like a month
