ナ・リーグＭＶＰ予想

MLB HPより抜粋。
5. Lance Berkman, Astros: The slugging first baseman finished third in the balloting last year behind Howard and Pujols, the fourth time in six years Berkman finished in the top seven.

4. Carlos Beltran, Mets: The All-Star center fielder and Silver Slugger Award winner finished fourth in the balloting last year after batting .275 with a career-high 41 homers and 116 RBIs for the NL East champions.

3. Derrek Lee, Cubs: The last time he was healthy for a full season, Lee batted .335 with 46 homers and 107 RBIs for the Cubs.

2. Ryan Howard, Phillies

1. Albert Pujols, Cardinals: During his six years in the Majors, Pujols has finished second (2006), first (2005), third (2004), second (2003), second (2002) and fourth (2001) in the MVP balloting. He's arguably the best player in baseball, and he's playing on a defending World Series champion picked to make the playoffs again. Does anyone really think the Cardinals great isn't a threat to win another MVP award in 2007?

ナショナルリーグの予想は納得できる。松井がプホルスの怪力にあきれて、ひるんでいたのを思い出す。ゴジラの名前はプホルスがふさわしい。
