We're all very lucky to dodge this bullet! Phew! I know we were worried that Hampton was coming back after the break for the Braves, but he’s gone and “tweaked” his groin again.

I think after winning the MVP, he thought he would be more appreciated. No one signs more autographs than Rollins on that team. IMO, it's a combination of all that and him being worn down after the last few years. The guy hardly ever takes a day off.

Added 50 points to his slugging, and he hit 6 more homers at home. Not Holliday splits, but Rollins' home park was just as good a hitter's park. Statistically speaking, Wright had the best year last year. Playing in Philly sure helped Rollins, too. Added 50 points to his slugging, and he hit 6 more homers at home.

The runner-up, Holliday, was a LFer and not a good one, and his home stats boost him from an OK player to MVP level. Well, his VORP was pretty good, and he’s a SS.

Which, is still low, IMO, for an MVP. Whoops, he had an OPS+ of 118 last year. Which, is still low, IMO, for an MVP.
