Who is your MVP?

Well?

Without the injury, Id say Votto. With it though you have to go Cueto I'd think followed closely by Chapman.

Hell I wouldnt be surprised if Cueto and Chapman both finished in the top 3 in the cy young race.

Chapman. Losing Madson could've been so much worse otherwise.

The pitching has been stellar, but I gotta go with Ludwick.

For MVP of the last 2 months? Sure. MVP of the whole season? No way.

well, 2 months is half the season at this point, and while Ludwick wasn't in the starting lineup before then, he had a very good rbi/plate appearances ratio before the votto injury.

So you'd give a guy hitting .265 with 21 homers and 63 rbis over two pitchers in the cy young race?

I think you can make a case either way. Without either Cueto or Ludwick I don't think the Reds are in first place right now.

Not sure there's a wrong answer either way.

Someone agrees with you 1181...

[quote]Not only is Ryan Ludwick (.266/.335/.555, 21 HR, 63 RBIs) making a strong bid for comeback player of the year, he also just might be Reds MVP. Ludwick has hit eight homers with an OPS above 1.100 in the past three-plus weeks, leading the Reds to a 19-8 record during Joey Votto's absence. -- [i]Chad Dotson: [url="http://redlegnation.com/"]Redleg Nation[/url][/i][/quote]

I think it has to be Aroldis. If Marshall was still closing, we might not be in first place. Chapman has been unbelievable. I hope we are able to lock him up. Luddy has been huge too. Chapman has been unreal though.

I believe Chapman is signed for 3 more years after this one.
