Was the market bigger? Look, the voters don't give a crap about the Gold Gloves. From everything I've heard, they each take about five minutes to fill out their ballots based on initial perceptions. They don't look at stats, they just go by "gut feelings". As a result, guys get screwed. It's just the way it is. So I wouldn't take it personally. And calm down there, dude.

Where to begin. First of all, I wrote this post back in September, in a moment of rash Phillies-homerism. Then, I settled down and looked at the stats and came to the conclusion that, yes, Matt Holliday was the NL MVP. But then, THEN, I was convinced by Paul that <a href="http://umpbump.com/press/the-great-mvp-debate/" rel="nofollow">David Wright was the real MVP</a>. The numbers just don't lie. Then I tried to convince Philadelphia Daily News baseball writer Paul Hagen that <a href="http://umpbump.com/press/qa-with-the-philly-daily-news-paul-hagan/" rel="nofollow">Wright was the MVP</a>, but I didn't have any success. So you see, you're a little late to the party, Josh. But that's ok. Better late than never. Josh, Josh, Josh. Where to begin.

He fielded more opportunities and made less errors then Rollins. Holliday deserved the MVP but didn't get it cuz the market he plays in which my friends is the reason for Helton not getting a Gold Glove and Tulo not winning R.O.Y. although the winner did rightfully deserve it w/the best offensive numbers ever put up by a rookie but Tulo still fielded better then the entire list of NL shortstops K let’s set some things straight Tulo, not Rollins, deserved that gold glove.

The statistics speak for themselves. Rollins not only won another gold glove but is in first place by a mile for NL MVP. Period. Holliday doesnt deserve the time of day Rollins does.

MATT HOLIDAY!! Much more of a contribution to his team and not only won the NL batting title(3.40), but also in hits(214) and doubles(50). Also tied Howard with the lead in RBI's with 135. His defense was much improved from last year. If he doesn't get it then it's just as rediculous as Tod Helton not getting the golden glove with a .999 fielding percentage and only 2 errors all seson!! F-IN REDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
