Paul Goldschmidt should be the National League MVP. The team
record at the end of the season should not be the main determining factor, but
the team’s competitiveness throughout the season should be considered. It’s not
Goldschmidt’s fault that the pitchers had so many blown saves. So the Dodgers had
a hot streak, but the whole team contributed.
Goldschmidt kept the Diamondbacks
in the race for most of the season, because he carried the team. His
late-inning heroics were not topped by any other player, including McCutchen. McCutchen
may be a better all-around player, but that doesn’t win games. RBIs and clutch
hits win games.
Goldschmidt should be the undisputed winner.
