Who are the MVPs?

[NV]

The AL MVP will be announced November 21st.
The NL MVP will be announced November 22nd.

But who will the Most Valuable Players be from each league? And who should?

There are some pretty close races in each league. In the NL with Braun and Kemp and in the AL with Verlander against the likes of Bautista, Ellsbury, and Granderson.

Me personally feel that in the AL Jose Bautista will, or at least should win. You can make the debate that Verlander had one of the most successful pitching seasons in recent memory, but in my own belief I can't come to believe that someone who participates in a mere 34 games throughout a whole season of 162 can not be as Valuable as a player who is out their each and every game. Now if it was the year Bob Gibson had then it'd be a different story, but it's not. Jose Bautista put up some pretty gaudy numbers, leading the league in HR, SLG, second in OBP a point behind Cabrera, 100+ RBI, and over a .300 average. He also played solid defense in the outfield.

As for the NL I have to believe it will be Kemp. I mean the guy was 13 points away from the triple crown, the triple fucking crown. Not sure how you can contest against the season he put together.

Joey Bats and Kemp

Just last year King Felix had equally as good a year as Verlander..

Anyway, I'd go with Joey Bats in the AL, and Kemp in the NL.

Grandy because I'm a homer.
Kemp.

I think Verlander edges him by a little bit, but anyway I said one of the best.

 

[elcheato]

Every year there are pitchers who have ridiculously good years, just as good as his. It's no different other then him having 24 wins, which still means absolutely nothing.

Ellsbury and Kemp

Homer in me wants Verlander. But Bautista deserves it.
Kemp in the NL.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

I think Kemp in NL, although it's close. Bautista for AL, but Verlander will come close.

I think it would be really odd though if the MVP & Cy Young for each league both came from the Same 2 Teams. And yet it's a possibility.

 

[Mexi]

braun and verlander will win

if it was up to me, Kemp easily would get it and i would give it narrowly to Bautista over Ellsbury

 

[Barcode]

Ellsbury & Kemp.

This is why

Verlander will come close, but I don't think they'll give it to a pitcher this year although he's very deserving of it. Watch them give it to Bautista.

NL I'd go with Braun for some odd reason I think he'll barely edge Kemp.
