In looking over the Heisman candidacy of Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Terrelle Pryor, I cannot help but think back to when Andre Dawson won the 1987 National League MVP award.
Dawson certainly had a good season in some respects. He belted 49 home runs and batted in 137 runs, both of which were league-leading totals. The majority of the voters figured power numbers of that caliber were enough to vault Dawson to the top of their ballot, but Bill James had a different viewpoint in his 1987 Baseball Abstract. He figured those statistics were the numerical equivalent of empty calories.

So why did he win the MVP award? I know what some people will say. It wasn't Dawson's statistics, it was his leadership and throwing arm. People will say that, but you know it isn't. You don't give an MVP for 'leadership' on a last-place team.

Pryor's message: Quarterback Terrelle Pryor had been made available for midweek interviews on three Wednesdays this season, but this Wednesday wasn't one of them. Pryor did interact with several fans on his Twitter account, @TPeezy2, this week, referencing several critical messages from what Pryor referred to as "haters."
"Thanks for all your words but I don't need any sympathy. The Bucks are back. Haters I love you," Pryor wrote.
Previously, just hours after the Wisconsin loss, Pryor also asked the haters if they ever held a football, then wrote "Love you true buck fans. I promise I won't let you down again. Mark that down too!!" This week he referenced messages on his haircut, his spiritual life and someone who is supposedly naming their baby after Pryor.
Quarterbacks coach Nick Siciliano said he doesn't check Pryor's Twitter account, then, wondering why it was brought up, asked what Pryor wrote recently.
"He's really tried to embrace everybody and do right on everything," Siciliano said. "I'm very proud of him for that, because it's been part of the growth process and he's handled things very well. For a guy who has been in his position, he could have handled everything the wrong way. I'm not saying he's always handled things correctly, but he's handled things very well. I'm very proud of the fact his maturity is rising."
