Do you think Jimmy Rollins deserved the MVP Award in 2007?

Absolutely not. This is why I don't pay attention to the proclaimed "MVP" voting. It's a damn popularity contest. The only reason Rollins got the award is because he plays in a premium position, SS. Holliday doesen't. But you still don't see a LF put up a .400+ OBP, Lead the league in RBI and BA, have nearly 40 HR, and lead the MLB in hits and extra base hits? No. It's the same thing that happened with Miggy Cabrera last year. Josh Hamilton is not the AL MVP last year, Miggy is. And may I add if it wasn't for Clint Hurdle changing his swing and stance mechanics, the dude would have put up terrible numbers.
