Obviously a strong argument for Holliday can be made: his hitting numbers were even better than Wright's, and his team made the playoffs (i've said my piece on the playoff vs non playoff team debate, but whatever).

However, Wright is a better defensive player, a better base runner, and if you adjust for park, their offensive numbers are similar.

Quite frankly, if you believe, as I do, that in baseball the team's overall success is of very little consequence to the MVP considerations, then Wright is a better candidate than Holliday.

In reading these posts, it seems like one thing virtually everyone agrees on is that Jimmy Rollins did not deserve this award.

I don't see how making an argument that is well backed up by concrete facts is insane.

Given his all-around contributions, I think he was clearly the best. And the numbers back me up.

If all you want to do is look at hitting, and not take into account base running, defense, and park adjustments, then you can say Wright wasn't the best.

Otherwise, it's Wright FTW.
