thats my point, you can't say that beltran is the most valuable player on the team because he has the talent around him that could be argued is just as valuable.

Beltran is an exceptional player and always has been, last year, call it jitters or whatever, it was an off year. This year he was in true form and has had one of his best years to date and is a very exceptional player, no doubt.

Is he in contention more so than reyes? Yes. Does he have a chance to win? Of course, is he more valuable to his team than howard is to the phils? No way.
