There are so many other factors in baseball but what Harper did this season is basically drag the Phillies into contention. The Angels haven't even had a whiff of the playoffs in years. I saw a stat the other day that they are the only team to finish under .500 in each of their last 6 seasons. So if Harper in an MVP season can drag a poor team to contention. Why isn't the "best player in baseball" doing that on a year to year basis??? Just makes you wonder...And why I love baseball so much. There is no method to the madness.

Philly won 5 more games then Anahiem this season with Trout out for basically the whole year
They were 2 games over .500
Harper didn’t drag them anywhere . They underperformed the last 2 years
One batter can’t make a team
