 HB> Can Larry Walker win the MVP even though his team,
 HB> the Rockies has lost it the
 HB>  second half of the season?
MM>Sure, but by a long shot. Usually MVPs are chosen for their importance in
MM>the post season or for making the post season like Ken Caminiti last
MM>season.
MVP should be for the regular season.  When does the vote come?
Of course, if your team doesn't make it to the post season, your value is 
ess
 because your team didn't achieve its goals.
Does the Cy Young winner usually need to be on a contender?
