Duran should have been on the first team? What are they doing?

Bias BS
Mookie didn’t say a word that hurt people’s feelings. Duran had 50 more games of production, and Mookie only played OF for half of those games.
yeah probably
145 ops+ to 130 is not insignificant though. rate basis mookie was better, especially if he got to play his (usually great) RF rather than a mediocre SS.
2024 Red Sox not getting deserved proper recognition this awards season is asinine
In all fairness, Mookie missed like 2 months after being hit by a pitch. Still, I didn’t know Duran had him beat in so many stats
I was willing to overlook Wilyer vs. Wells, bc it really was close, but this one is insane. Like there is zero baseball merit to this, f’ing terrible.
All anyone cares about these days is OPS
Mookie missed about 40 games
I love Mookie, but him being first team this year is absurd
These titles are always bias towards Mega stars of the show
Who cares
Fans and a group of experts vote on the nominees, so it’s not a stats game, it’s a popularity contest.
One of these guys had an incredible season, coming back from injuries to play a part in winning the World Series, and is one of the most likable players in sports. The other guy had arguably a better (and complete) season for a team that didn’t make the playoffs and also hurled a childish slur at a chirping fan on TV before giving a lackluster apology. Are you really surprised which of them got more votes?
No point in whining about it. Duran had an incredible year, and second team is still a huge honor. Hopeful he keeps his head on straight next season.
I don’t even get how Mookie qualified as an outfielder this year. He played more SS than OF.
What is this shit? Duran had a great year, but Mookie is an all time player who was hurt for months and obviously wasn’t 100% when he came back. If you had the choice of who you wanted on your time ignore contract status you would be insane to pick Duran over Mookie.
