Baseball's MVP is...

[GonzoStyle]

lets not also forget that besides losing abreu, this guy is a rookie who was replacing Him Thome, in probably one of the worst sports cities around. So the pressure was enough to crack the most seasoned veteran.

No one was expecting to smell a playoff spot, with losing thome and their closer to boot. Hopefully the kid would be half as good as thome, hit 25 maybe 30 home runs, drive in hopefully a 100 and he pulls of probably the best full season debut in history and has the phillies in the race for the playoffs.

While Beltran in his debut, folded to the immense pressure in his first full season. So it was easier this year for him because he had more talentt around him and a healthy reyes, a lights out closer and decent picthing. Plus no one was expecting a lot from him, as long as he hit 20-25 homers, people would be happy, as long as he provided them a glove. So without the intense pressure, he was able to finally put together a Beltran like season and people who had lowered expectations are wetting their pants.
