It appears the runaway MVP in the Kinsella NL is some guy from Virginia with the silly name Dee Dee. Who on earth would name their son Dee Dee? It's about as smart as naming your child Apple or Chastity like they do in Hollyweird.
OK, Dee Dee has hit 60 HRs as of right now, but was he even the best player taken in the Season 1 draft? No way!
Since being brought up after the trade deadline (yes, small sample size), the best position player in the Season 1 draft, Albert Ramirez, has a RC27 of 12.29. He was taken #8, right after the silly-named Dee Dee, whose RC27 is 11.64.
OK, OK, Albert played most of the season in AAA, and his RC27 there was only 9.86, but let's keep in mind that there are 2 halves to an inning. In the NL, they all have to go out onto the field. The only time Dee Dee ever sees the middle of the diamond is when he's trotting around the bases. Dee Dee is a statue at first base, whereas Albert has been playing in centerfield for the Diamondbacks and has room to grow into a top-notch defender.
All hail Prince Albert!
