lol so his slugging % being higher when all the other stats are very even makes him a terrible mvp ?jimmy brings more to the table than holliday does,that is why he won.jimmy does more than just hit hrs.his defense is VERY solid and he has speed too.speaking of inflated stats,let’s have a look at mr. holliday’s shall we

home R 67 h 123 2b 28 3b 5 hr 25 rbi 82 avg 376

away R 53 h 93 2b 22 3b 1 hr 11 rbi 55 avg 301

look at the hrs rbi and avg comparison and then look at jimmy’s and tell me again who has inflated stats here ?

slug% 50 pts higher at home…yeah, his numbers are inflated there. he’s the worst MVP winner in a long time. wright and pujols had better seasons than all candidates.

lol i love when i read how inflated j roll’s stats are due to playing in cbp.any of you dummies ever bother to look at his splits for the season ?

home 69 runs 104 hits 13 2b 11 3b 18 hr 47 rbi 300 avg.
away 70 runs 108 hits 25 2b 9 3b 12 hr 47 rbi 293 avg

that looks pretty even to me..

i think you people are letting your bitter feelings towards the phillies cloud your judgment.

Rollins isn’t even the MVP of his own team – that would be Chase Utley who beat Rollins in most offensive categories except HRs despite missing 30 games due to an injury. Frankly, Utley is the guy who got screwed by the MVP voting, not Wright, Holliday, or Fielder but his problem is he doesn’t have a big mouth and isn’t a good self promoter.

Rollins and his team backed up his big talk but the guy is the second, maybe third best player on his team. How can he be the MVP? I know Utley is much quieter and got hurt with a broken bone in his hand but how can you pick Rollins over him. Just look at the numbers:

Utley – .332, 22 HRs, 102 RBIs, .976 OPS in 132

Rollins – .296, 30HRs, 96 RBIs, .875 OPS in 162

Rollins played 30 more games and the only major offensive category he beats Utley in is HRs.

I have thought for a while MVP voting is a joke and this just confirms.

Sorry about DWright but I knew after the collapse he wasn’t going to get it. The guy who should be mad is Utley who was completely overlooked by his loud mouth teammate.

That’s precisely what I’m saying. Rollins gets more votes because his team make the playoffs. And I’m fine with that. I

First and Foremost, Holliday got robbed. He led in almost every offensive category and was a huge factor in that wild Rockies run. I’m not trying to be bias because I hate Philly, but can somebody please stop adding more awards to the philly’s trophy case.jeeeeeeez Rookie of the Year, Homerun Derby Winner, 2 MVPs.

It is called an opinion….But comparing a player who won the MVP on a bad team with one that was on a team that blew a big lead is a bit different.
