Win Shares Update

At the Hardball Times website, 2007 Win Shares calculations are now updated through yesterday: THT 2007 Win Shares. Now tied for the most Win Shares in the NL are David Wright, Albert Pujols and Eric Byrnes. The each have 25 Win Shares. You could think of each of them as the MVP of his division. Penny, Webb and Peavy are tied, quite appropriately it would seem, with 19 Win Shares at the top of the NL pitchers. Ichiro, A-Rod and Magglio Ordonez sit atop the AL with 28 Win Shares each (same as in the NL, you could give them each a division MVP award) , with Vlad Guerrero right behind at 27. Dan Haren and Erik Bedard are now one step ahead of the pack among AL pitchers with 18 Win Shares each. The top talent is tightly packed this season, much as the most of the division races are.
