MVP - Eric Thames
2. Josh Donaldson
3. Zach Greinke
4. Bryce Harper
5. Jake Arrieta
6. Lorenzo Cain
7. Mike Trout
8. Nelson Cruz
9. Clayton Kershaw
10. David Price
By deduction the 2015 All-World MVP is Eric Thames and the MLB MVP is Josh Donaldson.
The A.L MVP would be Josh Donaldson and the N.L MVP would be Zach Geinke should the season end today.
In my opinion, this rating is socially relevant as a ballplayer in Korea, Japan, the Dominican Republic, Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Cuba, would feel somewhat appreciated within the U.S.A as they would see they were socially relevant in the same context as an American within America.
The reality is that Worldwide exposure can't just be confined to within America and/or outside America. It's Universal as has been defined by the Freedom of Information Act in Canada.

The Economic Restructuring of Major League Baseball - by Moses a.k.a Stacey Marc Goldman
What would happen if MLB instituted a minimum salary of $60,000 U.S.D/ Year and maximum salary of $10 Million U.S.D/ Year within the signings of all ballplayers within each chain of MLB (including the Minor Leagues, and all aspects of the Players Association and Front Office positions)?
1. IF the ultra-rich within MLB (the Owners and Marquee players) are taxed accordingly, the guy selling peanuts is a happy camper making $35,000 U.S.D/Year. The least paid position would be $35,000 U.S.D/ Year.
2. The player in A-Ball is seeing $60,000 U.S.D/ Year
3. The player on the average level sees $1,000,000 U.S.D/ Year
4. The marquee player sees $10,000,000 U.S.D/ Year
The reason I stipulate is for this reason. No team has 25 superstars. I repeat no team has 25 superstars. No hitter will ever bat 1.0000 with any consistency, and no pitcher will ever achieve a perfect record with any consistency. You might have a guy who finishes his career 1 for 1 with a grand slam to boot, but try to repeat that over and over again... It's the same thing for the pitchers within the game. A pitcher is always trying for the perfect game. Does he achieve this? No.
The game of baseball is an institution for this reason. The guy selling the peanuts and cracker jacks, the soda and the beer, the baseball and the jersey, all need to make a buck to bring enough chicken bacon home to feed the wife and kids. The stories we tell after the game has been played is part and parcel of what North American cities and towns need. Something to grow on that makes life worth living. A reason to wake up in the morning. When we look back on our lives as a baseball fanatic, we realize that success happens, mistakes happen, you roll with the punches. You play the game.

Eric Thames - by Moses
Eric Thames played in MLB in 2011 and 2012. He started strongly with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2011 (evidenced by his .312 average .389 OBP and .506 Slg % and .895 OPS in his Triple A Career) and powered 12 Homeruns in just 362 at-bats in 2011. After the 2013 baseball calender Thames moved to the far east to play in the Korean Professional League. In 2014 this is how Thames looked in print;
443 AB 95 R 37 HR 121 RBI 11 SB 58 BB .343 BA .422 OBP .688 Slg%
This is how his 2015 campaign looks to this point of the year;
329 AB 99 R 35 HR 101 RBI 28 SB 72 BB .374 BA .489 OBP .802 Slg%
Would you construct a deal with the Korean League and Thames' current team, for permission to add him by trade or buyout by a MLB Team by the end of August?
Consider that with Thames as a player for the Toronto Blue Jays that it would be Dalton Pompey and Thames battling for playing time alongside Ben Revere in the Outfield. I could also pencil in Thames as either my 1st Baseman or DH on top of the Outfield if he's hitting the shit out of the ball.
As a result of this addition here is what my team would look like against an overpowering RHP starting pitcher at that (like a Felix Hernandez or Sonny Gray);
1. Troy Tulowitzki (R - SS)
2. Eric Thames (L - DH)
3. Jose Bautista (R - RF)
4. Josh Donaldson (R - 3B)
5. Dioner Navarro (B - C)
6. Justin Smoak (B - 1B)
7. Dalton Pompey (B - LF)
8. Kevin Pillar (R - CF)
9. Ryan Goins (L - 2B)
10. Edwin Encarnacion (R - 1B/DH)
11. Russell Martin (R - C)
12. Devon Travis (R - 2B)
13. Ben Revere (L - OF)

The Super Bowl Fix - by Moses
After careful review the verdict is in; the real winners of the 2015 Super-Bowl were the Seattle Seahawks. The announcement will be made shortly. As follows; New England's equipment manager and Tom Brady were responsible for the AFC Championship fix as they adjusted the air pressure and air density of each and every ball that was used for that game against Indianapolis. As a result they will be taken off the actual Super-Bowl, replaced by the Seattle Seahawks, who will be announced only as the NFC Champions.. Did anyone notice that Andrew Luck was having a hard day at the office?
