Challenge with the stats you have shown, many Starting Pitchers in the league are going to end up with a high number especially Starters who are the 1st or 2nd Pitcher in the rotation.
---- Verlander participated in
969 Plate Appearances during the season.
-----(Most Starters are going to have a high number)
------ Taking fielding into account, Verlander had
50 chances to a make fielding play
--------(Most Starters make Fielding plays)
I understand some folks believe SP should be an MVP others don't....
