CG means complete game.  That is a stat for a pitcher and wouldn't stand for a batting (hitters) stat.

Derek Jeter - 2000\nI do not think they had the award prior to 1962.\nThe Major League Baseball All-Star Game MVP Award is given to the outstanding player in each year's Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Awarded each season since 1962, it was originally called the Arch Ward Memorial Award after the man who first came up with the concept of the game. The name was briefly changed to the Commissioner's Trophy. In 2002, the award was renamed The Ted Williams Most Valuable Player Award in honor of former Red Sox slugger Ted Williams, who had passed away earlier that year. Because the game ended in a tie, no winner was named that year, making the Anaheim Angels' Garret Anderson the first recipient of the Ted Williams Award in 2003.

According to ESPN the top 3 players with walk-offs (a game winning single, double, triple or home run) for last season and this season are David Ortiz with 10 game winning hits, Albert Pujols with 8 game winning hits and Orlando Cabrera with 7 game winning hits. A-Rod is no where to be found on that list and probably never will be, he's just not a gamer.

Rotisserie or Roto scoring is one of the more traditional ways of playing fantasy baseball (and other sports as well). It's category based. Let's say there are 13 teams in your league. If Home Runs are one of your categories and your team has more HRs than anyone else, you get 13 points. If your team has the least amount of HRs in the league, you get 1 point. Every category works like that. \n\nMany roto leagues are 4x4 (with Runs, RBIs, Batting Average, Home Runs for batting categories and Wins, ERA, Strikeouts and Saves for pitching categories). Some are 5x5, which is a basic 4x4 league plus stolen bases and WHIP. WHIP is Walks + Hits per inning pitched-- basically, the amount of baserunners a pitcher gives up per inning. Like ERA, lower numbers are better with WHIP. If you are in a 5x5 league with 9 teams, the best possible score is 90 (ten categories times 9 points each). Hope that helps!

I grew up with Rickey Henderson as my favorite baseball player ever.  I loved the guy, hell i even had his book, and comic book.  OH yeah, he had a comic book.  Anyways he dominated the game, the best leadoff hitter of all time, hands down.  He should be a first ballot hall of famer.  Lets not forget his records in leadoff game home runs either.

The slugging percentage indicates the player’s ability to get extra-base base hits, such as doubles, triples, and home runs. The calculation for slugging percentage is the number of total bases achieved for all hits divided by the number of at bats. Slugging percentage tells you how many bases a player hits for each time at bat. \n\nTotal number of bases from hits (TB) divided by number of at bats (AB)\n\nTB = 1B + 2(2B) + 3(3B) + 4(HR) / AB

WALKS AND HITS PER INNINGS PITCHED. IT'S A GOOD MEASURE OF A PITCHER'S OVERALL PERFORMANCE.

Justin's OBP was .375.\n\nJeter's was .417 (4th in the league)....\n\nHow is .375 better than .417?\n\n\n\nAs far as fielding percentages go, no knowledgeable fan would compare the fielding percentage of a first baseman with that of a shortstop.  Jeter won the Gold Glove, at the most important defensive position.  Justin did not win the gold glove, even though he plays the easiest defensive position.\n\n\nIf you're a first baseman and you DON'T hit more HRs and drive in more runs than a shortstop, you're not going to keep your job very long. (The reason first basemen are expected to be top offensive players is because the position is so easy to play, that teams can almost always find someone who can play that postion and also hit)\n\nJustin drove in 130 runs and scored 97... Jeter drove in 97 and scored 118. Not a huge difference in run production, until you account for the fact that Justin is a first baseman, and Jeter is a shortstop. If anything, Jeter would get an edge here (Sabermetric "runs created" formula credits Justin with 125 runs created, Jeter with 123...but again, Jeter is a shortstop). However, MVP voters have always been biased toward players who drive in, as opposed to scoring, runs.\n\nDespite 11 straight division titles, the Yanks have only had 1 MVP during that time... during their four World Championship seasons, the MVP awards went to the Texas Rangers (3 times) and the Oakland A's (once).   A-Rod's winning the award in 2005 may actually have hurt Jeter's chances this year... and yes, there is a definite anti-Yankee bias in MVP voting.\n\nJeter also held the Yankees together this season and led them to the best record in the AL... despite Matsui, Shefield and Cano missing quite a bit of playing time with injuries...and depsite the fact that their pitching was TERRIBLE...\n\nJustin's RBI total is the reason he won the award.\n\nNeil D is correct in pointing out that you really couldn't go "wrong" either way...there were a few good candidates in the AL this year...but Jeter did deserve the award, imo.
