Not playing the Phillies, that's for sure. He is the only MVP candidate that was the difference maker between making the playoffs and watching the playoffs. If the Phillies lineup lost Ryan Howard, I'm not so sure it would have been enough to keep them out of the playoffs. http://baseknocks.com/2008/10/01/cc-sabathia-big-frame-bigger-impact/ If the Brewers don’t pull the trigger in the Sabathia deal, where are they today?

Driving in runs and hitting home runs aren't the ONLY stats one must look at when deciding an MVP. JKDilla, Howard is still a one dimensional player.

Plus Howard got Phillies into post-season, as strong as both statlines were Howard had better September, including better AVG, OBP and SLG... despite striking out twice as much. If you're gonna say CC what about Manny Ramirez? He was mid-season pick up who helped Dodgers into playoffs. ManRam's stats comparable to Pujoles and Howard. In 1984 when Cubs won East Ryno was MVP and he didn't have fat stats by any means, but wa an all-around influence... like... gulp... Mark Derosa is now for the Cubs. But I realize if you took Derosa off Cubs would still be decent so I take his name back. Howard still drove in a boat-load of RBI’s despite the bad AVG and high K count.

Why is anyone "wowed" by that? Well, I think we’re at the point where we can expect Ryan Howard to hit around 45 homers every year. Why is anyone “wowed” by that?

You expect that from Pujols, so fans are not necessarily wowed with it as they should be. It’s a good point. You expect that from Pujols, so fans are not necessarily wowed with it as they should be.
