​No, of course not. Stupid of me to ask, really. I’m sorry. I’m trying to delete it. Oh no, wait. This post is an assessment of the latest SB Nation Reacts poll, so buckle in, voters, you’re about to see some results.With no Giants-specific poll this week, respondents were asked about four different awards races.Who should win AL MVP? Yordan Alvarez – 41% Junior Caminero – 26% Bobby Witt Jr. – 23% Nick Kurtz – 10%An absolutely incredible bounce-back season for Alvarez, who was limited to just 48 games and 199 plate appearances last season. He still managed .273/.367/.430 with 6 homers in that brief period, but this season, he’s slashing .318/.426/.633 with 31 homers and 70 RBI in 96 games & 420 plate appearances. He’s on pace to shatter his previous career-high in home runs (37 set back in 2022) and the 29-year old is certainly hitting good enough to sell the idea of a designated hitter who’s not named Shohei Ohtani winning MVP.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementStill, at just 22, Junior Caminero’s .279/.372/.555 with 28 homers and 59 RBI in 411 PA seems like a pretty serious threat to Alvarez. His defense at third base is less than stellar (-1 Outs Above Average, -8 Fielding Run Value — that’s the 5th-worst in the sport of any position) and should be counted against him for the purposes of a Most Valuable Player discussion. Still, the hitting is undeniable.But the real answer here, with all due respect to Nick Kurtz — who I’m not going to discuss but is having a great follow-up season to his rookie campaign — who is but a first baseman, is Bobby Witt Jr., who has more rWAR than anyone on this list and who plays a premium position (shortstop). He’s the third-best defender in the sport in terms of fielding run value (+13), behind Pete Crow-Armstrong (+17), and JJ Wetherholt (+15) — an important aside: as I mentioned the other day, Luis Arraez is just 8 spots behind him at +8.With all due respect to the indispensable, beautiful, and perfect Baseball Reference, I think FanGraphs’ wins above replacement is a more notable measure if only because more front offices have hired FanGraphs writers than Baseball Reference contributors. Given that, Bobby Witt Jr.‘s 4.8 fWAR is second-best in the sport behind Pete Crow-Armstrong’s 6.0 fWAR. Yordan Alvarez checks in at #4 overall (2nd in AL) with 4.4 fWAR… so, you know, I think this is the real race (Caminero is 15th overall at 3.2 fWAR — 7th in the AL).Now, Ohtani is rightfully #1 because his combined hitting and pitching fWAR is 6.3, just ahead of Crow-Armstrong. Meanwhile, Soto leads Schwarber in fWAR, 2.9 to 2.5. The reason for the gap, I suspect, is simply that Schwarber has more homers (32) than Soto (21). But, Soto has played more games in the field than Schwarber (49 to 4) and has been better than Schwarber there. Schwarber has a -10.9 Defensive Runs Above Average despite logging just 27 innings in the field! Soto is also hitting 15 points better by wRC+ (16
