NL MVP
PLAYERS: Chase Utley,  Lance Berkman
So far the NL is stacked with candidates for MVP. Tough decisions to be made here, but the Hairy Guate is gonna take a stab at it. 1. Chase Utley (Phi), .291 BA, 22 HR, 63 RBI, 57 R Has slowed down a bit after an absolutely MONSTER start. Gets the slight nod over Lance Berkman of the Astros only because Utley is leading his team towards a division title and the Astros have an uphill battle to get into the playoffs. Read the rest of the list at the Muffin!

    Not sure I agree with Utley because the Astros do not have the team the Phillies do.

    Dan Uggla should be on the list, arguably 1st or 2nd.

      Yeah that's what I said. Utley isn't even the best second baseman in the NL much less the MVP of the entire league (I also said that ;X)

      I wouldn't have thought of Dan Uggla, but that's a good point. He's had a great first half, and the Marlins aren't too far behind the Phillies in the NL East. I'll make sure the Hairy Guate becomes aware of his glaring omission next time I see him.

    If Chipper is anywhere near .400 he is a lock for MVP.

      Haha no way. He's about on par with Chase Utley.

    Where are the Philly Supporters? I'd be shocked if Uggla keeps up his pace. Lance has better numbers for sure, but not so much better as to ignore the fact that his team isn't good and will probably keep falling in the standings. I was worried to pick Chipper cause of my bias towards the Braves. Also don't think he'll stay healthy enough to keep his numbers high enough.

      Haha, I was fearing the Phillies supporters would shower every opposition with a thumbs down. I don't think Uggla can keep up the pace either but if the season ended right now I think he'd be more of an MVP than Utley.
