I think Matt Holliday clearly should have won. The 20/20/20/20 thing is obviously very impressive. However, Curtis Granderson did the same thing and didn't sniff the MVP or the win a Gold Glove in the AL, despite being one of the top 5 defensive centerfielders in the MLB.
Looking at Holliday's absurd numbers, I think he got absolutely jobbed.

Holliday's road #s
.301 11hrs 55rbi .485 slugging .860 OPS
double those and tell me if he didnt play at Coors he was an MVP candidate

You can take his Coors numbers and adjust them down, but you can't just replace them with his road numbers. What if a player playing in a hitting-neutral park hit 40 homers at home and 15 on the road, would you throw away 25 homers from his line?

holliday's road #s dont come close to wrights, rollins's, fielders, or whatever other candidate you want to give me.

That is not my point. My point is that you can't judge solely on road numbers. His home numbers do count! Coors field doesn't turn an average hitter into a 1.000+ OPS hitter. The entire difference between his home and road number's isn't wiped out when you adjust for the park.

Dante Bichette had over a 1000 OPS at home in his 7 years with the rockies. even with that included, his career OPS is .835.
His career high SLG in his first 5 years was .435, then went to the rockies and slugged .526 .548 .620 his first 3 years there
this was just the 1st name that popped into my head
