Jimmy Rollins' MVP

It is kind of amazing when you think about it. Years from now, people looking at the stats will be incredulous that Rollins beat Holliday, unless they can appreciate baseball at altitude and also see that Holliday hit 25 of his 36 homers at Coors Field and .376 at home and “only” .301 on the road. Coors field is more of a hitter’s park than Citizens Bank.

 

I know Holliday is the Rockies’ big bopper and best player but I don’t think it compares to the importance of Jimmy Rollins to the success of the Phillies. The leadership, attitude, and play – at shortstop no less. They have Howard and Utley, but Jimmy Rollins makes them go.
