Who's The NL MVP?

Question

please explain

Answer 1

it should definitely be jimmy rollins. 41 steals [30 more than than holliday :O] the 20 triples is truly amazing and the doubles and HR to boot!! he broke several records this year, and although [NOT howard] utley has had a great year, being out for a month hurt him a lot, and with rollins at the head of the lineup - he fires up the crowd, the team, and the coaches too and gets the phils first inning runs. he is a true inspiration and has led our teams through every single injury. if holliday wasn't on the rockies, they still would have done well, because their whole team is solid and pretty amazing, but the phillies needed jimmy to carry them through, therefore he deserves it. He joined the 20-20-20-20 club, and is only the 4th man to do that. He has a nearly perfect fielding percentage and jumps, dives, leaps etc to get the play done. he has amazing speed and precision, and the fact that all of this is done at shortstop makes it that much better.

i read on MLB today that all votes took place prior to the tie-breaker game [rockies and padres] so the votes weren't affected by hollidays heroic performance. the votes were cast before the rockies even made the playoffs. so yes, the rockies had an amazing run to get to the tie-breaker game, but the phillies had an amazing run to get to the playoffs. the worked their butt off and got to the playoffs with Rollins help without the need of a tiebreaker and i think that will end up being the deciding factor.


oh and holliday is not very special when it comes to defense so that will effect the vote too. he's good, but not outstanding.


soooo...
if those guys who vote have any brains, let alone eyes, jimmy will have it hands down.

theres a link to award coverage - great link so i figured i would share

Answer 2

Given how much controversy the AL CYA has provoked, the NL MVP announcement on Nov. 20 might be a good time to break out the asbestos oversuit, regardless if Rollins, Holliday, or some dark horse wins it. People are gonna be p.o.'d.

Answer 3

Jimmy Rollins of the Philadelphia Phillies - look at his durability (record no. of ABs this season) plus he is an extra base hitting machine (38 2B, 20 3B, 30HRs AND 41 SBs with 139 runs scored). 380 TBs! All this from a leadoff man. Without him the Phillies don't go anywhere in 2007.
Matt Holliday of course is the second choice.

Answer 4

Matt Holliday

Answer 5

NL MVP must be joey votto or carlos gonzales AL MVP must be jose bautista if his undemanding keeps going up or hamilton worldwide sequence MVP would be a texas ranger like hamilton or cruz

Answer 6

Jimmy Rollins. He had a season for the ages, and came through in the clutch time and time again. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/articles/2007/10/02/jimmy_rollins_backed_up_his_prediction/ . The MVP trophy will go very nicely alongside his Gold Glove.

Answer 7

I'm hoping Prince Fielder, but who knows.

Prince did have an amazing year,he was the youngest to 50,he's now up there with some of the greats. So it would be nice if he could get some credit for it but, know one seems to give the Brewers any respect (even if we did break a lot of records this year).

Who knows, it's anybodies game...

Answer 8

matt holiday will win, jimmy rollins should win. he's the catalyst of the team that led the league in scoring the last 2 years. this year he hit for average, power, led the league in runs scored, won a gold glove (ok, overrated award, but he is a great defensive player), and he carried the phils the last two weeks to make his prediction that the phils were the team to beat in nl east come true.

Answer 9

Matt Holliday.

Answer 10

matt holliday.
c'mon.
great defense, on the game's greatest defensive team. his offensive numbers are outstanding and his avg, hrs, and rbis have increased every years he's been playing. he's the hands down winner for the NL.
