    Ryan Braun should be NL MVP again
    I don't see anyone all that much better. McCutchin maybe, but I am skeptical to say the least. Consider that Braun leads the NL in HR and RBIs (two "traditional" stats) and he is leading the NL in Slg, OPS, WRC, and WAR (fangraphs). Virtually in the top 5 of every offensive category if he is not #1. He has more steals than any other MVP contender. All this coming into the year with all the scrutiny on him for alleged steroid use. Not to mention no Prince Fielder batting behind. Of course we know how predictable the voters are going to be by picking a player on a winning team. It's not Braun's fault the Brewers' bullpen sucks.

    Sorry, I don't see a better or "more valuable" player on any team other than Braun in the NL.

        Might be right
        No Prince Fielder to protect him in the lineup either

        If you watch some of the Brewers games, he does spark that offense

        And the Brews ain't totally out of it either
        Lets see what they can do in the next week

            The bullpen has blown some 15 games for the Brewers. Even so, they have a +23 run differential which means they should be about >5 games over .500.

            Like I said, I don't see a better (or more complete) player than Ryan Braun the NL.

              That's right
              he's about to go back to back, he deserves it this year, if he keeps it up, batting 300 as well

              Last year, I thought Matt Kemp should of had it

                    Dawson won MVP in 1987 on the last place Cubs. Brewers are creeping to .500, and Braun's #s can't be denied. MVP back to back for the Hebrew Hammer.

                      yeah it's silly how people throw out crazy stuff like "brewers are one of the worst teams in baseball" when they have outscored their opponents big time


                      watch them play

                        problem all year has been the bullpen: Axford, K-rod, Lowe, Para, Veras, etc...

                            a-roid won the mvp with last place rangers.

                            braun can win if he surrenders last years mvp to rightful winner kemp.

                              give it to Adam LaRoche, he would of hit 40 homers this year if he played in the gay ballparks Braun did.

                                Bump.

                                Could (and should) be a repeat.

                                  I didn't realize 2.5 games outta wildcard was worst in the MLB.

                                  Braun for MVP!

                                    Sorry no disrespect to Braun but Posey is MVP. There is more to this beautiful game than offensive statistics in a vacuum.

                                            If this is true, then Braun should make this story public. Because as it stands, he is in most fans' opinion, a PED user. I would never support a cheater for MVP. Baseball gave enough awards to the likes of Bonds and Clemens. Braun is stained.

                                              Whether Braun did it or not last year, which I don't think he did, there is no way in hell he would even come close to any ped's this year. With that being said, he has produced better numbers than last year. He is miles ahead of everyone else this year and on a team in the playoff chase. If he doesn't win MVP this year the system is tainted.

                                                  Posey is probably my favorite player in the game right now, but I still think Braun should get it. Punishing a player for the performance of the rest of his team doesn't make sense. Is there anyone who really thinks that Felix or Greinke didn't deserve their Cy Youngs just because the lineup behind them couldn't hit?

                                                    Exactly. If that whole drug test fiasco hadn't taken place everyone would be saying how awesome it is that this guy is going to win the MVP back-to-back. He's BETTER than last year and he won it last year. Enough said...
