it's obviously altuve...and the trophy will be lifesize. ah, thank you.

You didn't Capitalize Altuve because he's short?

It was a small error.

No truth to the rumor that when Altuve reads the fine print, the fine print receives the magnifying glass

[ten ocho recon scout]

Its pretty amazing how a guy as small as altuve hits as hard as some of his contemporaries.

[Angel Oracle]

He is a lot like another long lost Astros 2B from the 1960s, except for hitting right handed and for being likely MVP for the Astros and not for another NL team.

Hopefully, if Altuve becomes an analyst after his playing days, he isn’t nearly as insufferable as that other guy....

Altuve.

No second place.

Trout might get some votes. Judge, too, I guess.

who else had an MVP season?

According to Fangraphs Judge (8.2) has the higher WAR than Altuve (7.5). Judge also had a higher wRC+ of 173 over Altuve's 160.

So if you are using the same type of Stats to claim Trout should have won more MVPs then you should be arguing Judge should win this year.

Or maybe it's about more than just number data.

But it’s the WAR award!

It's Altuve, no other player contributed to his teams success as much. 

This should always be the template used to select the MVP.
