Who will the NL MVP today?

Some of you don't seem to understand that the voting for all the categories take place at the end of the regular season and prior to the playoffs.  With that said I feel Ryan Howard had a greater effect of the success of the Phillies season.  With basically no one with any power hitting behind him all season Howard was able to put up extraordinary numbers.  The Phillies were in the playoffs race right up until the last day of the season.  Without Howard they would have been out of the race as much as a month earlier.\n\nPujols had a much stronger supporting staff behind him.  As weak as their division was, I believe the Cardinals would have won anyway.  Frankly what they did in the playoffs was remarkable considering the kind of season they had.  Remember, the Phillies were 85-77 while the Cards were 83-78.  Just additional info to consider.

Chris Reitsma was the hopeful closer but has not followed through.  Now he is on the DL because of numbness in his fingers.  Ken Ray has been the best one so far that they've used.  Villareal has been the best set up man.  Hopefully the bullpen will improve soon, as the Braves just fell to last place in the NL East and the bullpen lost the game for the fifth time this season for John Smoltz.  Otherwise, Smoltz would have nine wins and be right up there with Schilling, Glavine, and Kenny Rogers.

Jim Thome is a nice bet.  He will have MUCH better stats than last years.\n\nVernon Wells is the other.  With Glaus and Overbay hitting behind him, he would continue to do well.\n\nBrad Penny would have a breakout season too.  He always has good stuffs, and NL west is weak.

My pick: Edwin Encarnacion\n\nEdwin has the huge benefit of hitting in the "Great American Ballpark" which should help boost his HR, and essentially RBI numbers. Edwin also has a more potent lineup to hit with.\n\nHowever, Conor will probably put up the higher avg. in the end though.

It figures it would be Frank Robinson, since he's also the answer to the question "Who won the MVP in both leagues?"

Currently-----> Alex Rodriguez all the way!!! He has over 400 homers, and he is a really stong player. And, he plays good defense on 3B, and even though he swings at a lot of his pitches, that is what gave him all those homers!!!\n\nPast-----> Babe Ruth!!!

This is a no brainer! It has to be Albert! The Cards won the series, without him they would not have done that(sure the pitching helped also)! Howard and the Phillies had a great season, but you cant argue with Pujols being the unanomous choice in this question!

Monday:  Red Sox 3  Yankees 1\nTuesday: Red Sox 7  Yankees 5\n\nI predict Johnny Damon whacks his head and splits his eye open and sits on the 15 day DL.  (Oh wait, that's not a prediction, that's an outright PLEA to GOD!)

i'd go with pedro, due to the run support that the mets have, he's a pretty solid option from start to finish...there's a slight risk for injury unfortunately, but i think it's worth it.  if you have something against martinez or the mets, then i suggest going with chris carpenter.

Migeul Tejada \n2002 AL Most Valuable Player \n2004 AL RBI Leader \n2005 All-Star Game MVP

I will go into the minority here and say Guillen. He will get on base and score runs for you, plus his power and RBI numbers will be better than Francouer's.

It should be Tadahito Iguchi of the White Sox or Jose Lopez of Seattle.  I think it will be Iguchi. He's on fire right now plus his Manager; Ozzie Guillen is the manager for the AL in the all-star game.
