Who will be the Brewers' Offensive MVP in 2011?

I voted here (and at JSOnline) for Braun. I think of the two, Fielder has more pressure on him and thus, more likely to put up a poor year. Granted, following his every-other year trend, this would be his "up" year.

 

For Braun, I think last year in the middle of the year, he was hurting more than he let on. His June was poor and his July absolutely dreadful. But the months before and after those two were stellar. Braun also strikes me as someone who can play to the level of his team, so adding Greinke and Marcum is going to be big motivation for him.

 

But, they will still be neck and neck, whomever comes out as "MVP".

 

Edit- I didn't realize Braun has an every-other-year trend going on also. If both Braun and Fielder have "up" years... wow.

I am going to say Fielder, i just fell he is going to have a moster year, so one stupid team will pay him all the money he wants.

how weird, braun and fielder both tied with 45 votes.

I just pushed Braun ahead Prince. Just dont see Fielder putting together a better year than Braun. Plus Brauns final couple months last season were unheard of.

Fielder's entire 2009 outside of April was basically as good or better than Braun's Aug. & Sept. last year

I chose Gomez...because I think he is going to perform better than expected and when he plays well, the offense seems to click...

 

Fielder and Braun will get theirs (and will probably be more valuable in most senses), but to me...Gomez is one of the Keys to avoiding games where we just seem to be waiting for the three run homer....and just don't seem to score.

 

with our pitching, scratching out a run or two can turn games into wins...

I can't believe more voters didn't go with McGehee. I guess past performance isn't considered indicative of future production.

 

My theory is that the folks that voted "other" have one or more of our pitching staff in mind.

It's simple. Prince is in a contract year. he's gonna be a monster, or it'll cost him millions.

I'll be a contrarian and vote Corey Hart. Roenecke will bench him for opening day, and getting that extra motivation, he will be the first Brewer 30/30 player since Tommy Harper.

[Ennder]

It can really go either way, Braun or Fielder. Nobody else really has a chance barring injury, even if someone else in the field has a career year one of those two will be the best offensively. If Fielder doesn't try to hit a HR every AB like he did for much of last year he should be a .900+ OPS guy and Braun has been a .900+ OPS guy when healthy, when he got hurt last year it killed his summer statistically.

I hope at the end of this season we are having this same argument due to the wealth of choices for a real MVP! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
