Rollins Given NL MVP

by South Side Rob

Its a decent argument when we get into awards that are voted on. I've mentioned this many times. I don't put too much stock into it. Alex Rodriguez won the AL MVP on Monday but it was not unanimous which is an absolute joke. It should have been just like Ryan Braun winning the NL Rookie of the Year. From the time Braun was called up, Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun's numbers were nearly identical. Nobody argues ARod winning the AL MVP but because of Braun's struggles defensively, he barely escapes with rookie of the year? It's a joke.

I feel bad for Prince Fielder. He had a MVP-type season. Maybe this will make him even more motivated for 2008. I'm just glad he's a Brewer. To me, he's the MVP.

Stay tuned. I spoke to the Big Rygg and he will be posting later about a trade the Brewers pulled off today with the Mets. Things are really shaking up...
