That's what Richard Griffin calls Delgado and Halladay in this morning's column, before saying their chances of winning the MVP and Cy Young awards "are fading as fast as the Jays."
This isn't one of those letters-to-the-editor-generating pieces that works the ZLC into a collective tizzy, it's a realistic look at the possibilities. Griffin thinks Garciaparra and Loaiza are the front-runners; for those of us without votes, the distinction between who will win and who should win makes the debate more complicated.
Some of our readers wish we would never link to another R.G. piece, but he does provoke a response. So does his Toronto Star colleague Geoff Baker. Negotiations are under way to have both writers step into Da Box to answer your questions. Please, hold your fire. When the ground rules are finalized, we'll let you know. One suggestion: while you're thinking about what to ask, consider how you would phrase the question if you could pose it in person. Sometimes, the relative anonymity of a fan Web site affects our rhetoric. It's a sign of respect that Baker and Griffin would contemplate doing this, and they deserve the same from us, even when they're wrong.
