In a message dated 08-28-97, Ed Grinnell said to Howard Brazee:
 HB> Can Larry Walker win the MVP even though his team, the Rockies has lost
 HB> it the second half of the season?
EG>Can he win it? Yes.
EG>Will he win it? No.
EG>*Should* he win it? No.
EG>He could make a case for Player of the Year but NOT Most
EG>Valuable Player (If he's SOOO Valuable then why has his
EG>team lost it in the second half?).
EG>Don't think I'm picking on him because he plays for Colorado, I'd pick on
EG>him if he played for the Braves or his name is Cal Ripken (Alan
EG>can tell you that I didn't feel that he deserved his MVP
EG>when the Orioles sucked).
On the other hand, people DID vote against Dante Bichette when the Rockies
were 
contenders - they claimed Dante's MVP type numbers were because of Coors
Field.
Of course Dante can't play defense worth a lick.
