He was more clutch then any of these guys with the exception of Holliday quit bitching with this is the biggest travesty ever boo hoo hoo they are two different players in two different roles on their team and J-Roll was also a 20 20 20 20 yes thats 20 doubles 20 triples 20 homers and 20 steals not to mention the 90 RBI's as A LEAD OFF HITTER. Mets collapsed Phillies took advantage J-Roll was the most consistent and valuable player to his team. Had Utley not gotten hurt we dont even have this conversation.

He was but a mere cog - perhaps the straw that stirred the drink. But, MVP of the NL? No. i am just so damn surpised by your comment. what the hell is wrong with people. it’s a most VALUABLE award. how can rollins be most valuable to his team with FOUR (4) other guys on the team accounting for 400+ RBIs?

Defensively it's apples and oranges, man. I see what you’re saying but it’s ridiculous to compare the Gold Glove winning shortstop to a good left fielder. Defensively it’s apples and oranges, man.

No MVP has every made a mental error in a game before. No way. Why don't they ask for IQ tests before leaving a comment here? You can give it to any of the three and its hard to argue. But Rollins team won the division so I can't go crazy over it. I think Holliday was better but what can you do. Rollins got a lot more press down the stretch and that momentum many times carries a guy over the hump. You didn't see a lot of Baseball Tonight mini-stories on Holliday like you did for Rollins. My issue is how Fielder got ahead of Wright. They're collapse might not have been historic but it last longer. They collapses slowly from about the All-Star break till the end.

I took a look at the MVP candidates that finished in the top four (Rollins, Holliday, Fielder, and Wright) and their supporting casts (the top four players on each team in RBIs. This is astounding. Rollins had Utley and Howard, Rowand and Burrell. Utley: .322 | 22 | 103 Howard: .268 | 40 | 136 Rowand: .256 | 30 | 97 Burrell: .309 | 27 | 89 Rollins: .296 | 30 | 94 Matt Holliday's supporting cast? Same thing. Everyone hit from Tulowitzki and Hawpe, to Adkins and Helton: Tulowitzki: .291 | 24 | 99 Hawpe: .291 | 29 | 116 Adkins: .301 | 25 | 111 Helton: .320 | 17 | 91 Holliday: .340 | 36 | 137 So, what about Prince Fielder? Not so good here, he definitely carried his team. But, it finished out of the playoffs by a decent margin and was only 4 games over .500. Braun: .324 | 34 | 97 Hardy: .277 | 26 | 80 Hart: .295 | 24 | 81 Jenkins: .255 | 21 | 64 Fielder: .288 | 50 | 119 Finally, David Wright, who with the exception of Beltran was basically on his own all year on a team that finished 14 games over .500. Beltran: .276 | 33 | 112 Delgado: .258 | 24 | 87 Reyes: .280 | 12 | 57 Lo Duca: .272 | 9 | 54 Wright: .325 | 30 | 107 I mean, this is a complete travesty. How in the world can the voters justify Rollins? Based on the supporting cast of the top four finishers, Rollins should have finished fourth, Holliday third, Fielder second, and Wright first. The numbers don't lie - only the voters do. YOU MUST READ THIS:
