Re: Chipper Jones - 2007 NL MVP

I agree that it's silly to adhere to the must-be-in-the-playoffs-to-be-MVP rule, but generally these MVPs are ones that really did help their team in such a significant way to get to the playoffs. (eg. AL: see A-Rod)
I'd rather see Holliday get it more than anyone else, even if they don't the playoffs. He's having a crazy year, but isn't getting much recognition because of playing in Colorado, calling Coors Field home, and because the NL has a lot of MVP candidates. It's not nearly as easy as picking in the AL.

Holliday's numbers are sick, but his .857 Road OPS isn't MVP worthy IMO.
