Cabrera or Machado, and Choo or Upton.
BP should be in this conversation, though.
Award Winning Baseball Player
Are any Cardinals in the conversation? I ask seriously as I haven't been following their individual performances much. Molina?
Yeah, as much as I love BP, I don't think he's in the conversation.

Even so, BP is one of the top reasons why this team is winning. Yes Choo and Votto get on base, but where would this team be without BP and his NL leading 34 RBIs? This is after he had to move into the cleanup role after Opening Day.
Not to mention, his defense is tops in the NL too. I do not know much about the other players in the league, but IMO I think BP is the MVP of the Reds at this point in the season.
2015 Attendance 2-1 (4/6, 4/7,4/24)
2014 Attendance 1-3 (3/31, 4/12, 8/14)
2013 Attendance: 6-0 (4/3, 4/16, 4/17, 8/3, 8/21, 9/7)

If the criteria is "who is driving in the highest percentage of base runners," I'd go with Allen Craig (26.4%) and Billy Butler (26.1%.)
My MVPs so far would be Carlos Gomez and either Evan Longoria, Mike Trout or Anibal Sanchez.

Remember, it's most valuable player, not the best player. Phillips absolutely belongs in the conversation at this point. And I'd include Harper before I included Braun.

Votto's in the conversation, but DatDude isn't? Do any Reds fans think Joey has had a better first quarter than BP has? I'm not knocking Joey, as he's doing what Joey does, but BP has been outstanding. OPS isn't the be all-end all of stats. Might as well give the MVP every year to the guy who walks the most. I realize my thinking is somewhat old school, and even antiquated in this day and age, but a 2nd Bagger who knocks in 130+ runs and is defensively superior to everyone else at his position, is a serious MVP candidate, IMO.

Choo and Cabrera.
