Re: Ryan Braun wins NL MVP Award
I guess making the playoffs is a difference maker in MVP voting...

Re: Ryan Braun wins NL MVP Award
I know that, but it's a strange way to vote for a player.
Kemp became the seventh player in Major League history to finish the season ranked in the top three in homers, batting average, RBIs and stolen bases in their respective league, joining Hall of Famers Ty Cobb (1907, 1909-11), Honus Wagner ('08), George Sisler ('20), Chuck Klein ('32), Willie Mays ('55) and Hank Aaron ('63). |

Should have been Kemp.

Re: Ryan Braun wins NL MVP Award
Anyone notice that Votto got 6th? Not too shabby as a follow up to 2010, eh?

Re: Ryan Braun wins NL MVP Award
Braun should have won. Good job. American League, not so much.

Kemp should have won.

Re: Ryan Braun wins NL MVP Award
This is kinda unrelated but according to baseball reference Braun had a .994 ops and a 166 ops+ while Kemp had a .986 ops and 171 ops+. I'm just wondering how that works.
