who's your NL MVP candidates at this point?

[hive17]

Who ya got? I've been checked out of baseball at large, what with Milwaukee sucking at historic levels. But Jean Segura has been a rock star so far.

Who would be a candidate outside of my myopic-homer world?

 

[Waxov]

He should be the clear frontrunner at this time. Being in last place can snub you badly though, see: AL 2002.

as for the alternate candidate it would be Goldschmidt.

 

[jpruitt2]

Not a bad choice, but I would have to guess that Justin Upton would be in the mix.

 

[RStadlerASU22]

Goldy and Tully are doing well out West.

A lil bias for Paul right now

Ryan

 

[koal]

votto

 

[corockies]

Tulowitzki, Votto, and Goldschmidt are my top 3 so far.

 

[cards01fan]

No candidates from the team with the best record in baseball?

 

[bigpapiMA32]

The Brewers being terrible isn't gonna help Segura (or Gomez for that matter). Might be Votto so far.

Though if there's any pitcher in the game who has the potential to finish with a sub-2 ERA, it's Kershaw...

 

[RogerMarisCollector61]

1. Carlos Gomez
2. Joey Votto
3. Clayton Kershaw or Matt Harvey

UPS

 

[JEBJJA]

Goldschmidt right now.....but in the end it will be McCutchen. Not a fan of them but the Pirates are for real finally.....

 

[shayscards79]

Goldschmidt

 

[bmp1971]

Tulo.

 

[Austin]

I would have to guess that Justin Upton would be in the mix.

Maybe a month ago.
Upton's hitting .259 now and is on pace for only about 85 rbi.
He hit most of his home runs early.

I think it's a virtual tie between Goldschmidt, Tulo and Votto right now, with several other players mentioned in this thread right behind.

 

[bmp1971]

Where do Cole Hamels and BJ Upton fit in to all this?






(LOL, hehehe)

 

[Lally1]

Josh Donaldson FTW

 

[Waxov]

Josh Donaldson FTW

great breakout season so far, but he is incredibly behind Miggy and Davis at this point.. I think they would both have to tank at some point for weeks for him to catch up.

 

[RogerMarisCollector61]

Josh Donaldson FTW

NL

 

[All The Hype]

+1 for Goldschmidt, but it's still very early.

 

[Jaysfan1913]

Joey Votto or Clayton Kershaw
