Last year's results:

1. Barry Bonds, SF
2. Adrian Beltre, LA
3. Albert Pujols, STL
4. Scott Rolen, STL
5. Aramis Ramirez, CHI
6. Jim Thome, PHI
7. Eric Gagne, LA
8. JD Drew, ATL

[Joey Slugs]

Andruw Jones

[Loose Cannon]

I thought Jones was a shoe in, but then I saw that average and I went uh oh. I know batting average is not the greatest stat to look at, but I'm pretty sure he would have the lowest batting average as an MVP in history if he were to win. And in this day and age when a lot of emphasis is placed on average, I think he'll fall short.

I think Marris n '61 is the only MVP to have an average in the .260's.

[CNM]

I voted for Pujols. The best player on the best team in baseball and he was pretty close to Jones in every category except HRs.

[Joey Slugs]

(are we doing ROY as well?)

[The Miz]

(are we doing ROY as well?)

I thought about it but I didn't want to clog up the board with baseball threads.

If enough people want me to I will.

[The Outlaw]

Yeah do it.

Andruw BTW.

[KingofOldSchool]

As much as I :love: Andruw, I gotta go with Pujols.

[BCWWF]

I voted for Pujols. D-Lee might have been spectacular in some stats, but Pujols was never too far behind. The fact that the Cards' didn't have Rolen for most the year and were still dominant gives it to Al over Derek.

[KingofOldSchool]

I see it finishing.

1. Pujols
2. Lee
3. Jones
4. Abreu
5. Ensberg

[YOUR Hero]

Andruw Jones carried Atlanta for long stretches of the season. He's my pick.

[RoXer]

Derrick Lee

[Gertner]

Pujols

[Vastardikai]

Andruw, he helped lead a team that was technically rebuilding to another Division Championship. His defense was always there.

Pujols will probably win though, because there was no Bonds.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Gotta go with Pujols here, for the reasons other Pujols-voters mentioned.

Another overlooked factor is that he drew more walks than anyone else in the poll and struck out less than anyone else in the poll (587 ABs....65 Ks) RIDICULOUS patience.</font>

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Jones without question. Yeah Pujols didn't have Rolen but Jones didn't have much either. Only 3 Braves qualified for the batting title this year.
