MLB 13 The Show Video - Cover Showdown: How to Vote

[DieHardYankee26]

Why? Why is McCutchen getting all of these votes? I guess as an AL fan I don't know much about him. He's clearly a great player, but to be leading by this much over the Triple Crown Winner, the 2012 NL MVP, the 2011 MVP, a guy who almost (and maybe should've) won the 2011 NL MVP after a near 40-40 season. I guess I just don't understand.

It's not all about numbers as some of you would believe...I guess.

Well, lets look at it this way...

1, Hes not a Yankee: A+
2, He's not Joe Mauer...again: A+
3, He's not A-Gonz... again: A+
4, He's not from BOS... again: A+
5, Hes from a small market team giving them some exposure: A+
6, If he wins, he'll be only the 3rd NL player in 8 years: A+

I for one would be OK with Cutch! He is fun to watch.

I would suggest the same holds true for the final results.

That definitely puts his talent and passion for the game in perspective. I'm gonna try and watch some more Pirates games this years, along with my annual Yankees games and Cubs games. McCutchen seems to be a special talent and I hope his success continues.

I'm still a little confused as to how he's gotten all of these votes, as I doubt the majority of voters know this much about him, but it makes a little more sense I guess. He's almost relatable. He really is not just playing for the underdog, he IS the underdog. Interesting story.

Nothing personal against Cutch, he's a terrific player and a great person, but to me, if you win the TRIPLE FLIPPIN CROWN, you deserve to be on the cover. Period.
