My esteemed (ah-hem!) colleague Tony Cornetta who felt it neccessary to take shots at me and my co-host apparently hasn't heard of the phrase, "those who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones."
Given the list of this year's candidates for the NL MVP award, his suggestion that Hanley Ramirez is in the top 2 is laughable at best! He has NO shot to win it!
I would give the Matt Holliday argument some creedence if he didn't play 81 games in the Mile High City of Denver. Check out the numbers:
Holliday (overall) .338 36 HR 132 RBI
(home) .374 25 HR 77 RBI
(away) .301 11 HR 55 RBI
As a team, the numbers are similar for the Rockies:
(overall) .278 165 HR 788 RBI
(home) .298 100 HR 435 RBI
(away) .260 65 HR 353 RBI
They can talk about keeping the baseballs in humidors to negate the thin air, but the numbers speak for themselves. The stats of Rockies players need to be examined closely when considering them for postseason awards. Apparently, Tony didn't take the time to do that.
Now I ask you, who's the moron?
Prince Fielder is your NL MVP.
