If I just returned from a two year trip to Mars, and learned that Albert Pujols had won NL Player of the Month for August whilst his team lost a stunning 9 games in the division between August 11th and the end of the month, who would I vote for for MVP (if I actually had a vote) and why?
Actually, I wasn't gone to Mars but was just as stunned to learn that Pujols had won NL Player of the Month for August.
I am now really confused as to the parameters used to elect the MVP.
