Doubt it will be close, I think Braun will easily win although he shouldn't. It's also nice that you're finally starting to give Tulo credit. If Braun was playing in OF, and not playing all time bad defense at 3rd, it would be a lot easier to say Braun is better though, just another case if you guys being Yosted. :wink:

Well Braun learned 3b in his 2nd last or last year of College so he's still trying to learn the kinks. He just has problems with his footwork and the easy plays. He thinks too much out there.

Braun likely will win, but it really should be Tulowitzki.

Not to say he hasn't had a good year, but he's an absolute butcher in the field. To the point where he had to be removed several times due to being such a liability.

Tulowitzki stats are just as good, plays on a better team(that made the playoffs, in a much tougher division) and is defensively solid at SS. Not to mention, he came up big tonight in the clutch.

It's not a shot at Braun and what he's done, but people will just look at his HR numbers and vote accordingly

His defense is 'solid'? I believe hes having one of the best defensive seasons by any shortstop in history.

Tulowitzki got 2 doubles, 1 single, and a triple in the biggest game of his young career. He also made a few great defensive plays. What happened to Braun down the stretch run?

F it. Give it to Tulowitzki. He can hit and play D. Braun is pathetic on defense.

He only had a .998 OPS in September.

It's amazing how a bunch of people (my people, if you will) can take a guy and never stop posting about him, never stop hyping him up, and that guy turns into a hated individual on this forum.

Hey I stopped posting about him until now. And he's not immune to criticism either. I've said for a long time that he needs to draw more walks.

I personally don't care who wins MVP or ROY because the bottom line is the Brewers aren't in the playoffs and that's all I care about.

I really don't see how anyone could vote for Braun over Tulowitzki. Ok, well I can see it.

Tulowitzki is clearly the all around better player and might be the best defensive shortstop in baseball. Within 5 years he will be the best ALL AROUND shortstop, if not player in the league...he is that good.

I personally thought that it was a CO/MKE race for the MVP/ROY........ugh


I say MVP: CO
ROY:MKE

as much as I think 50 is a number not to be underestimated

Tulowitzki is just all around so much of a better player.

If Braun had Tulowitzki's defense, and played shortstop there is no doubt in my mind the Brewers would be in the playoffs right now.

The Brewers problems are much deeper than Braun's defense.

Pop quiz.

Last team to make the playoffs with a rookie short stop was.......











NYY, in Jeter's rookie year.

I think Ryan Theriot was still considered a rookie this year for the Cubs, so if that's true that would make two teams.

Tulowitski at home:

.330 avg
.398 obp
.564 slg
.962 ops
14 hr
20 2b
55 rbi

Away from the launching pad that is Coor's Field:

.256 avg
.329 obp
.382 slg
.712 ops
9 2b

Congrats Troy. You're another product of the biggest joke of a home field in MLB history.


Bump worthy? 2-1 Pitching duel in Coors to move on to the NLCS!!!
