    Well Josh Beckett has improved exceptionally over the past year and when he was needed to deliver he delivered.
    You take Curt Schilling then, a vetran of 42 (in Nov), a joy to watch, experienced, cool, calm and colective. This may be his last year.

    Both guys have won WS MVP awards before for different teams. To be honest out of these 2 I would love to see Curt Schilling get it.

    But in my opinion I think it should go to Kevin Youkilis. He s had an outstanding season and WS to date.

    No, i don't think so. He's been consistant throughout and is one player that any team would want at 1st Base.

    Read your post...you said the World Series MVP should go to him, and he's had a great World Series to date!

    shapez: I think Zuut is messing with you as Youk has been one of the stars of the ALDS and ALCS and helped BRS get INTO the WS. He is being very......eh.....eh......Zuut :rolleyes:;)

    Well, not so much messing, as subtly pointing out that the WS MVP will go to the guy who plays best in the WS, and the season to date doesnt affect it. Also, I can think of plenty of better 1B than him. If memory serves me correctly he was pretty well detested by Red Sox fans not too long ago....what a fickle bunch!

    Oh s***. My apologies!! Didn't have much sleep after the game last night!! :D

    Yes, I see where everyone is coming from!! LOL

    Anyway, I'll still stick with Yoouuk!! :D But, you'll never know, an unsung hero like Papelbon will step up to the task when in a bad patch!!!
    Yes, I remember fans giving out about him during the season. But, you don't have to look far, look at what Yankees fans were doing to A-Rod last season! And he comes out this season and plays some of the best baseball breaking records and making history all year.

    I think Beckett may be starting Game 1.

    Kevin Youkilis is one of the most popular Red Sox. I have no idea where you got the idea otherwise.

    I didnt say he wasn't currently. I said a year or two ago I remember people calling for his head.

    You're still very wrong. He was the most famous Sox prospect in years due to being featured in Moneyball. His average, OBP and OPS have all been great for a new player. He played 1st, 3rd & LF. Why would he be disliked?

    Yes, I was looking through them and I think I'm confusing him with somebody else...now who it could be I dont know....someone traded from San Diego comes to mind...let me go digging.

    EDIT: I think I got him mixed up with Bellhorn (I was half right on the SD thing!)...:D my apologies

    In 2005, Bellhorn struggled, registering a lower batting average and dramatically increasing his strikeouts. The Red Sox eventually released Bellhorn after he broke his finger in a game and the fans were getting restless with his "non-production". Bellhorn signed with the Yankees days later. In 2006, he played for the San Diego Padres.
