Howard winning would be even worse than Manny. The argument that Manny was valuable is at least legitimate. Howard is a candidate entirely on stat inflation because he hits in a monster lineup. If Pujols had the opportunities Howard had the MVP race wouldn't even be a contest. Howard had 223 plate appearances with runners in scoring position (4th most in the majors) compared to Pujols' 176 (57th). And even despite Howard's high HR and RBI numbers, he only ranked 25th in Runs Created (Pujols is #1).

This doesn't even get into the 13 less errors Pujols made at 1st base.
