I read lots of articles about who should be the MVP. Albert Pujols, David Wright, Carlos Beltran, Ryan Howard, Matt Holliday – and Jimmy Rollins won. What I don’t see is an itemized offense plus defense (OPD) analysis to say “this guy should have won the MVP”. Naturally, if the OPD is terrifically close between some players, we’ll tweak it toward something like better Win Probability Added (WPA), a tougher defensive position, or a player on my favorite team. Whatever seems fairest.
