Albert Pujols, Joey Votto, & The MVP

I would have liked to see Albert Pujols win the MVP this year, and I think—but can't be sure—that under Pepsi Challenge conditions I still would have voted for him. Choice P would have nearly identical hitting numbers, nine additional games, and a better long-term record as a defensive player. (Pragmatically, he would also have a higher bWAR, and I always check Baseball-Reference before Fangraphs, and if I wasn't taking voting very seriously...)
