Colorado Team MVPs 2000-Present

[Y0DA55]

2067
I had a lot of hope this season, but then Wisconsin quickly dashed our hopes in a big upset in our first series of the postseason (They beat New Mexico in the first round while we had a bye).  We had some great performances though.

Tom Cannon went 20-5 with a 2.37 ERA and was very close to winning team MVP.
Larry Pearson went .328/24/83 to follow up his MONSTER 2066 season.
Lawrence Sanders went .282/21/66 which doesn't really show how good he was this year.
Richard Samuels went .302/.408/.498 and acquired just as much WAR as the team MVP, who is...

Magpie Foster

Foster was tied for 3rd in the league in WAR with Samuels.

He led the league in Hits, Total Bases, Doubles, Extra Base Hits, and Runs Created.  He also had the team Triple Crown leading the team with a .317/27/104 line.

Another great season!

2068
I think this team is on more on the downside of the mountain than I thought.  We finished the year with a mediocre 81-81 record and a loss in the first round of the playoffs.  I'm hoping for a bounceback next year...

But one bright spot was (with apologies to Tony Gutierrez (15-7, 2.64), the MVP of the team this year was first year Ram Diego Santana.  Over the offseason, we made a trade with Utah giving up a bunch of our draft picks and some good players for 3 players: Bois was good at catcher, though he was hurt for part of the year, Magalaes was solid but unspectacular, but Santana was the cream of the crop.

Just 26 years old, the guy mashed.  .301/27/91  He won the team's triple crown this year, having the best year of his career so far.

2069
We missed the playoffs for the first time since 2060.   

We didn't have a whole lot of bright spots.  We traded Diego Santana midseason and got Robbie McDowell in return and he went 6-2 for us with 18 total wins on the year.

The beacon of light for this team and team MVP was catcher Silas Elliott.   He led the team in RBI with 69 (what?) and was second in average with .273.

2070
Dark times for the Colorado Rams.  We are in full rebuild mode right now, finishing 66-96, our worst record in 12 years.  Our pitching was absolute  , but we had a few bright spots on offense.

Silas Elliott keeps swinging it at 34 years old.  .282/12/69

25 year old Michale Knapp has emerged on the scene.  In his rookie year, he hit .264/27/84.  It's too bad he came around right at the wrong time.

This years MVP though, goes to Larry Pearson, who is now a 6-time winner of this team award.  Only Hall of Famers, Dale Couch and Tyson Bacon have won the award more often.  He led the team in Hits, Doubles, Average, and Slugging.

Yikes!  42 wins this year, so we don't have a lot of talent to flaunt at the moment.  The best player on our team was traded mid-season (Mark Stanley who put up 2.2 WAR before he was traded to Virginia).

This year though, Alonso Garcia ripped the league up.  His value is mostly tied up in his incredible defense, but he had more than twice the amount of WAR on anyone else on our team.  Unfortunately, things aren't looking up in the very near future for the team.

We had but two bright spots this year.  One being this years team MVP, Juan "One Dog" Silva, the other being Michael Knapp.  Both of these guys are relatively young and nice pieces to an absolutely dreadful team.  the 65-97 Colorado Rams are still bad and have a few more years of this before some of their younger talent starts to blossom.  Unforunately for Silva and Knapp, they most likely will be too old to make any meaningful contributions once that starts happening.

Silva led the team in average, was third in homeruns and RBI, and he played outstanding defense.

There really isn't much to say about this team right now.  We weren't very good (worst record in the league), we have one of the better farm systems (though, I don't know how much of that talent will actually pan out), and we are just really old.

The Rams MVP this year was Starting Pitcher,
 Juan Martinez.  He didn't have much to work with, but somehow came away with over 10 wins.  He led the team in Wins, ERA, and Strikeouts.

Sad state of affairs here in Colorado where we finished 49-113, a dubious feet that the team has plunged to only three times before in the teams history.  So there isn't much that I can say about this team or this MVP as there wasn't much to work with.

The MVP this year was rookie Leonard McCarthy.  He was second in average and homeruns and first in RBI.  It's sad when your team MVP has numbers like this: .232/10/59.  Hope help comes from the farm soon.

Another bottom of the barrel finish for the Rams.  53-109.  I guess there is improvement.  We do have the 5th rated farm system at this point, though for a team that has had a top 10 pick in the last 5 or so drafts, you'd think our farm system would be better than it is. I guess the rebuild will take longer than expected.

This year's MVP won our team's triple crown. I am not talking about Hubert Russell who took home the team triple crown for pitchers: 11-15, 3.61 ERA, 124 Ks. I am talking about Barney Mason, who is this years Rams MVP.

His team Triple Crown numbers: .264/.305/.483, 30 HRs, 86 RBI.

The less we talk about this season the better. The Rams had a 38-124 finish, the worst in team history. Our team MVP is the best of a bad bunch of players. Thankfully, we have the 2nd highest rated farm system at the moment. So hope might be on the way.

The team MVP this year is Juan Silva. This is his second team MVP, but a much worse season. Here's the numbers, because this team really shouldn't be spoken about too much.

Our team is starting to turn the corner. We started out as one of the worst teams in the league this year, but will have the 9th pick in the draft this upcoming spring. The majority of this improvement came down to two guys. Our SS Chipshot Jones and this years team MVP, Leonard McCarthy. It was a tough choice between these two. Roughly the same WAR, and they were the top two in pretty much all the categories. Leonard had a better slugging percentage and Chipshot had more stolen bases and both played the hardest positions on the field, CF and SS respectively. But I felt McCarthy deserved it more this year.

This team is making moves though. We have a lot of talent (particularly pitchers) in the high minors and we have the #1 rated minor league system. The Rams are coming!

I have no idea how it was calculated, but somehow a guy who had 7 homeruns and 44 RBI, who walked 37 times and had an On Base Percentage of less than .340 accumulated 6 WAR. I have to make him my team MVP, right?

Oscar Spencer, come on down!

Three very big positives for Spencer:

One, the guy can run.  He led the GEL in stolen bases.

Two, the man can hit (softly). He was tied for the league lead in singles. In the supressed offensive age that we are in in the NPBL, a .284 average is fifth best in the league.

(Speaking of suppressed offense, the FFL has a lot more offense than the GEL. It's close, but they have the major league leader in almost all the categories).

Three, he's really good at playing defense. 3 errors the whole year. 21 assists. +18.2 Zone rating.

Big Steps for the Rams. Slowly becoming a team not to be messed with.

Our team is slowly getting better, having just missed the playoffs this year. Hopefully we'll see continued improvement.

This years team MVP was Jose Medina. After pitching well out of the bullpen the past two years, he exploded onto the scene this year taking home the team's pitching triple crown.
