For the 2nd time in his career Albert Pujols has won the NL MVP. He had a monster year hitting .357 with 37 home runs and 116 RBI, while playing with a sore right elbow. Pujols got 18 of the 32 first-place votes. Ryan Howard came in 2nd with only 6 less first place votes then Pujols. Even though Howard led the MLB in HRs, I still think Pujols deserved it. He had a ridiculous batting average, and OBP. The only argument I can see is that his team didn't do well this year, but I don't think the MLB cares since A-Rod won while he was in Texas. A part of me says Manny desrves it, for what he did with the Dodgers. He really deserved a lot more consideration then he got, but I can see why they went with Pujols. He had a great year, and was in the NL the entire year.
