so he didn't?

Honestly, I am surprised it was that close. They way the season ended for Braun, I thought he had it wrapped up.

Braun's teammate Prince Fielder finished third with 229 points

to me this should disqualify both of them. MVP = most valuable player.. if you have two of them they aren't that individually valuable imo.

MVP should be defined by how much worse would that team be if you take away that player.

Take away verlander, see how many less wins they get.

Replace Braun's bat with Gamel's and we can say the same thing.

Braun is the first Jew to win the MVP since...

I believe RC wasn't a Jew at the time of his MVP

So only the brewer pair should cancel each other. Right, makes sense.

Tell me how you quantify this.

I'll hang up and listen.

Dodgers record killed Kemp's chances.

unfortunately, that is true. Braun is a nice choice. but Kemp is obviously the most deserving, IMO.

well based purely on the numbers Kemp had a better season than Braun. I'm trying to find a category that could have pushed Braun over the edge. Kemp had 70 more Ks but also went to the plate 40 more times.

Braun beat him out in SLG and BA, but not by huge margins. And of course, there's the whole being a piece of shite offensive team like the Dodgers. Just can't wrap my head around why the voters went that direction.
