Santiago Casilla, MVP
2008-04-24 09:26
If I had told you in March that the A's would be in first place near the end of April, who would you have thought would be the player most responsible for the hot start? I bet you wouldn't have said "Santiago Casilla." Casilla is currently leading the A's in Win Probability Added.

MLB Heavyweight Champion
If MLB champs were decided like boxing: beat the champ, and you're the champ.
The 2008 season started with the Red Sox as champs. They were beaten by the A's, who were beaten back by Boston, who were then swept by Toronto, who lost to Oakland, who lost to Cleveland, and so on, until we reached our current champion. The Heavyweight of the Year is the team that wins the most title bouts at the end of the season.

About the Toaster
Baseball Toaster runs on some experimental software called Fairpole. It's still under development. For more information, please visit the Fairpole blog, or read the FAQ. |
Plus, while Casilla's run is probably unsustainable (he'll give up a run at some point, right?), you have to figure Alan Embree and Huston Street will come around.
