I hate how how your team is assembled affects MVP voting.
It should just be for the best player IMO.
However, the Reds still aren't anywhere with Votto, so while they would be worse, they aren't good anyway.
Oh, just realized they are .500 now, right where I said they'd be before the season (believe I said 80-82 and everybody called me crazy).

No, it has to be Tony Campana, because he's fast and hit a homer!

Oh yeah, forgot about his homer.... yeah... he'd have to be #2... no doubt about it. It was that lack of a homer that was holding him back, I think.

Justin Upton is pretty good at baseball based on his raw numbers and accumulated WAR.

If it were straight up trade and Milwaukee sucked up the salary, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
I'd do it anyway

i think he's a top 10 player this year based on his overall production(defense still is a little questionable)
but i dont think he's outright the MVP
i guess you could make a decent case for it considering the diamond backs are doing pretty well this year
but i'd take braun or fielder before upton

I still can't believe people don't understand there is more to a trade than just players.

Yeah, there's the upside, the club control and all that, but seriously, Ryan Braun > Starlin Castro.

I said in the trade value thread I would probably do the trade but Brauns contract is quite scary and long.
Contracts out the window yeah it's not close.

starlin would probably end up getting a large contract if he keeps performing at a high level relatively soon
but ya i see your point
in this situation, i want braun tho
