Braun MVP

I really love to watch Braun and would not have posted this.
But then Kemp goes on Twitter and said this after losing the MVP:
“They don’t know who they messin with!!!!! They just created a monster!!Lol. #BEASTMODE don’t care!!”

By the Numbers.  Who Led In Each Area.
Kemp Runs (115 to 109),
Kemp RBIs (126 to 111),
Kemp HR (39 to 33),
Kemp Stolen Bases (40 to 33).
Braun OPS (.994 to .986),
Brauns  Avg (332 .324. )

Which has more impact on offensive numbers that kept Braun close.
A.   Braun teamed with Fielder who finished 3rd in MVP voting AVG 299, 38 HR 120RBIs, 95 Runs.
B.   Kemp being out of the playoff chase the last month?

Kemp did it all on his own!!!!
How bad are the Dodgers- the best numbers for starters this year. Avg 292. 16 HR, 65 RBI, 67 Runs. 

Kemp also won the Gold Glove in Center! 
Kemp had the best year in ALL of BASEBALL.   Amazing Amazing Year.
He already made another comment that he would go for a 50-50 year next year after missing 40-40 with his 39 HR's.

I would have voted for Kemp.  Dodger would have lost 100 games, instead they finished 82-79.'
Playing on the best team should sometimes be put aside when reviewing a year.

Of course this issue goes all the way back to the old days with the spotty definition of MVP. It's why Ted Williams got robbed so many times. The award for best player should be the focal point. But people have inserted their own definition of MVP and skewered the results. This year was another in a long line of BS votes and Kemp's great year will end up forgotten.
