August 16, 200521 yr I mean seriously.. You always hear about Andruw, Albert, DLee, and here and there Miguel Cabrera. Whenever you hear the MVP talk he hardly gets talked about. Also without him who knows where the Astros would be.. Morgan: .300 AVG, 33 HR, 91 RBI, 76 R, 6 SB, .400 OBP, .610 SLG. Pujols I understand him. Andruw is having a great year and carrying an Atlanta team. Lee has had a great year but the Cubs arent doing anything anymore. Cabrera is having a great year but the Marlins are still behind Houston and plus Delgado is there helping. I dont know if you can make a legitimate case for Ensberg as NL MVP but he should certainly be mentioned IMHO.
August 16, 200521 yr I agree, he won't win, but he is never talked about PERIOD, not just overlooked in MVP talks. Yeah, he was a bust last year, but he has really figured it out and Houston's already poor offense would be even worse without him, and no way they lead the WC if Ensberg isn't having such a great year.
August 16, 200521 yr people dont pay attention to anything outside roger when it comes to the astros.
August 16, 200521 yr Author people dont pay attention to anything outside roger when it comes to the astros. 904325[/snapback] LoL aint that the truth.
August 16, 200521 yr See Hidalgo's big 42 HR season! Their park is really small- he needs to do it more than 1 year.
August 17, 200521 yr I think the best player in the league should get considered not if the players around him are successful as well. If Barry Bonds is on the Royals and puts up monster numbers there are you going to ignore him because his team is in the basement? No, of course not.
August 17, 200521 yr Because the top 2 candidates in the NL are so far ahead of the rest of the pack...
August 18, 200521 yr So what was the deal with him last year? 904335[/snapback] he was hurt See Hidalgo's big 42 HR season! Their park is really small- he needs to do it more than 1 year. 904375[/snapback] this is really his first full year. in 2003 in the same basic number of at bats now he had similar numbers, just a lot more rbi's and a few more homers now. its called the natural progression of a player.

No, of course not. 904543[/snapback] If Barry was on the Royals, he would never see a pitch. Ever. But I digress. I understand and agree with your point. :thumbup
