National League MVP -- Final Answer?

[PhilaYank36]

Good lord, this is absolutely nuts. In my heart of hearts, the Mets are finished. The fight is out of them and the Phils have the momentum going for them. The NL West? I don't know what the hell is going on there, it's that tight. Despite that, I'm going with Rollins. The man said in Spring Training that Philadelphia was the team to beat, and damned if he ain't making everyone eat crow for calling him a hot dog. Oh yeah, he's got some good stats, too.

Jimmy Rollins

Rollins ... unless Wright singlehandedly puts the Mets past 'em by Sunday.

 

[hockeybeat]

Holliday.

And the Mets are dead. And have been since Monday night.

Also, out of respect, please add Byrnes and subtract Tulowitzki.

Henry Rollins.

 

[MileHigh]

Holliday.

Well, as much as I want Byrnes to win, you can't overlook Rollins, and the Phils' incredible run.

Plus, hasn't Rollins scored something like 140 runs? That's ****ing insane.

So, my top 3 are Rollins, Byrnes, Wright.

Byrnes has had a nice year but have you seen Tulowitzki play he is amazing. He does belong on the list but clearly he will not win it. He has had an amazing year and playing a premier position and at Gold Glove and Sliver Slugger caliber play.

He does not belong there, and he will not win the Silver Slugger. Ever hear of guys named Rollins and Reyes? He won't even win ROY.

How can you subtract Tulo from the conversation? He's really stepped up at the plate, plus his defense is Gold Glove-worthy... if there wasn't Omar Vizquel to snatch it up purely on reputation.

I've got to vote for Rollins. What he's done physically and emotionally for the Phils this year is amazing. He willed them to the lead in the East.

Tulowitzki may win a MVP award in his career, but it ain't this year. He's not more valuable to the Rockies than Matt Holliday. He's not more valuable than Rollins, Peavy, Ramirez and Byrnes.

I'm not sure, though, the Tulowitzki isn't the Rookie Of The Year, especially if the Rockies make the playoffs. Braun's a tremendous power threat, but it's hard to overlook his four billion errors.

PhilaYank strikes again by leaving Prince Fielder off the list. Playoffs or not, he brought it down the stretch.

Hanley Ramirez is way ahead of Tulowitzki, too. But Troy is definitely the best shortstop in the NL West, for what it's worth.

Screw it, I can't please everyone. If there weren't so many other candidates who are on or still could be on post-season teams, Prince would be on. He's got the numbers and he's the team leader. He should have a trophy or two in his future.

But guess what?

The Brewers aren't in it anymore. Meanwhile, you've got at least four players who still have a shot to play deep into October. So quit your whining.

He might not win the Sliver Slugger award but he is in the conversation
Tulowitzki runs98 23HR 94RBI .292BA .361OBP .475 SLG, 590 At Bats
Reyes runs118 12HR 57RBI .284BA .358OBP.426 SLG,704 At Bats
Rollins rusn136 30HR 91RBI .295BA. 344OBP .531 SL, 666 At Bats

Add in the fact he is playing gold glove defense and he deserves mention.
I don't see how he does not win the NL ROY he clearly is the best.

I'm going to save a long-winded diatribe and just tell you to **** off.

Back at ya, good buddy.

As far as Tulowitzki goes, he deserves to be in the conversation, but there's no realistic way he will win it. Aside from playing on the same team as Holliday and the same position as Rollins, Tulo has the usual home/road splits for Rockies players: hitting .325 at Coors, .256 away.
