I still stand by it being a player award, its for the player who had the best year that season. Ofcourse best season is just as open to debate, its what each person considers more important, is it avg, homers, runs, obp, rbis? etc.
I can see your argument I just don't agree that its a team thing because unlike the other sports, one person cant take over control of the game. Bonds cant take all the at bats in the last 3 innings, the only person who has anything akin to that type of control is the pitcher. Even then he doesn't conrtol how many runs his team scores or what the bullpen doesn when he's gone.
In the NBA, NHL, and football I can see it being more of a team award.
In baseball though I think its different, so it should be a player award.
Just as RJ deserves the cy young even though hes on a shit team.
