If there was an MVP for the whole year (including the postseason), my vote goes to Mr. Perfect, Brad Lidge.
[Ugh. OK, let's, for the sake of this ridiculous argument, assume that only guys who played for the Phillies are eligible for Heyman's mystical "MVP for the whole year" award. He watched Hamels, right? I mean, he probably did. Hamels plays for the same team as Mr. Perfect, after all. But maybe he didn't. If he had, it would have been kind of obvious, right?
Lidge: 78+ innings of 1.84 ERA and 1.20 WHIP (the "whole year")
Hamels: 262+ innings of 2.92 ERA and 1.05 WHIP (the "whole year").
Oh, and Lidge <<< Utley or Howard too. But whatever.]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you saying that innings pitched matters and that, maybe, closers who pitch less than half the number of innings as starters with roughly comparable numbers are maybe...LESS valuable than the starters?
My mind is blown. It is actually in pieces, on the floor and some little specs of brain are in my coffee cup.
It's pretty gross.
