Votto makes the top three again because he's awesome
Votto makes the top three again because he's awesome
I've been told that this is Joey Votto and not Votto Huckleberry Midnight Pickles Raisor, so it's not as big of a surprise
Votto’s getting a lot of love on Twitter from non-Reds fans. Could he have a chance?

How is Rendon not in the top 3?

Goldschmidt was so bad in Sept/Oct...
"How bad was he???"
He had a worse wRC+ than Adam Duvall!

Yeah, even though 30 days is nothing in terms of sample size, there are some interesting names on this list.
http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.asp...rs=0&sort=17,a
Schebler/Duvall/Suarez - Reds trio, obviously
Smoak - looked like the next Toronto career rebirth...perhaps not the case (he'd been due to regress)
Goldy - MVP season flushed away
Dansby S - had a rough start to the year...hoped he'd bounce back...nope
BP - Hi Brandon!
Zobrist - to me his decline was a huge factor in the Cubs not repeating
Jake Lamb - a beast in the first half, terrible second half and whispers of being a platoon guy now (can't hit LHP)
Machado - he's due to get paid...better have a better year next season
And others...
I don't know, just a lot of discussion material on that link.

October baseball is not taken into account in MVP voting, the voting is due prior to the postseason beginning.
Rendon had 2 fairly mediocre months as well. And from July 19th on he had just 5 homeruns (Goldy tripled that amount over that period). (Not to say homruns are a defining characteristic of an MVP but they do net the most attention).
Either way, Stanton should probably win this in a landslide.
