I can't get behind this performance/dollar criteria. Not just for the rookie contracts reasons already stated, but because it inherently punishes the best players in the league, those mostly likely to be valuable on the baseball field. And the definition from the BBWAA backs me up: "Actual value of a player to his team, that is, strength of offense and defense." It clearly refers to value on the baseball field. I understand the bias that the term valuable brings, but in this case it clearly doesn't refer to monetary value.

Just out of curiosity though, who is NL MVP based on preformance per dollar?

1. HRam
2. Tulo
3. Brandon Phillips
