I will revisit them again next year. I do like Felix better, I think he had a stretch of dominance, which Abreu never did. (No top-10 MVPs, never led league in anything except doubles one time).

I’m sorry if this comes off as rude but if you don’t vote for someone due to lack of T10 MVP votes but someone doesn’t get votes due to team record that’s a flaw. Goes double for CY
I believe you have to have an outlier year to win MVP on a terrible team, like Ohtani. I don’t believe ARod should’ve won that year in Texas. My point on Abreu is he never was considered a top player in his league/never led the league in any category except 2Bs one time. Not enough dominance for me.
Imo Abreu got snubbed hard during his playing days it shouldn’t carryover to his candidacy. He doesn’t have a sexy case but while no Ichiro one of the best OBP player.
Felix (& Santana) were a generation ahead of their time. Not 100% apples to apples comparison but their career is DeGrom esqe

He wasn’t recognized as a top player but doesn’t mean he wasn’t a top player. 7 consecutive seasons of T25 4 of which was T10
