I hope so, but by no means will it be easy with Pujols, HanRam, Utley, Howard, Braun and others as just some of the young improving studs in the NL. That's not to mention Berkman obliterating the baseball, Chipper hitting .420 in June pretty much, Matt Holliday or Jimmy Rollins who are both viable candidates as well. Do I think that he or Reyes will win an MVP during their careers? Yes. Am I willing to bet on it? Not sure.

With anything like that, the odds are always better if you take the field against a Met winning an MVP. Wright probably has the best bet, unless Reyes throws in some consistently higher power numbers with his SB total.
...Boston papers now and then suffer a sharp flurry of arithmetic on this score; indeed, for Williams to have distributed all his hits so they did nobody else any good would constitute a feat of placement unparalleled in the annals of selfishness. -Updike
i assume the phils will overtake the marlins at some point this season and if utley is in the discussion in all 3 triple crown categories, i think he'll win it which would be nuts to have 3 in a row, but he would have won it last year had he not been hurt down the stretch.
