Matt Kemp deserved the MVP, look at his numbers on a shit team
HE got HOSED. I thought Fielder and Braun were suppost to cancel each other out? I know Braun had a good year, but Kemp's year was pretty unreal for such a bad team.

Matt Kemp got robbed and I'm sick to death of hearing about Braun being on a playoff team. Kemp's numbers came without anyone of note hitting behind him while Prince Fielder had Braun's back all season long.
It was a rip off and as Kemp joked he'll have to go 50-50 next year to win it.

Still don't get it, I looked over these stats and still couldn't figure it out.
Seriously, if you could have anybody on your squad from the NL, who would you have?
Kemp, Jose Reyes are two guys I would way rather have than Braun on my team.

The thing is stats don't tell the whole story. You can't go on stats to say who was MVP. From what I read (looking for that article) Kemp had a lot of his hits and HRs when they did not count as much while Braun was constantly getting clutch hits at the most opportune times.
So while one persons stats could be better the difference is like hitting 5 HRs in one game or four game winning HR's, one guy has more but they count less.
