I'm a big Wright fan and eagerly await the day a Met can win the MVP. But I would have voted against him this year.
He was fine in September and a beast in August. But he simply cannot avoid the taint of the collapse.

So its David Wright's fault his teammates collapsed? This a very weak argument. I didn't expect David Wright to win because the BBWAA is retarded, but not voting for him because his teammates collapsed makes no sense.
As for Hanley he's very good but terribly defensively, Even if he was on a good team is defense is so bad it would pretty tough to consider him MVP.

this isnt the best player award, it is the most valuable player award. THe idea is to win games, and a guy like Hanley on a team that didnt win a lot of games gets less consideration than a guy on a team that does
But i guess this doesnt answer your question does it. My ballot probably would have had Wright 2nd place behind Rollins -- mostly yes because the Phillies won the division. So i guess i am as dumb as the voters
