Ryan Howard is more than likely going to get robbed out of the MVP award from Albert Pujols.  I am going to make my case right here why Ryan Howard should be the MVP by the salary cap method.  Albert had 177 hits compared to Ryan’s 182.  Albert got paid 14 million dollars.  That comes out to roughly 80,000 dollars per hit.  Not too shabby.  Ryan on the other hand got paid roughly 2000 dollars per hit.  Ryan had 9 more home runs and 12 more RBI’s than Albert.  So, according to the salary cap standards we use on my site, Ryan is the hands down MVP.  While I think 355000 dollars is more than enough for a baseball player, 14 million for less seems to be absurd.  Nothing against Albert, but for the money, Ryan is the winner of the NL MVP has voted by the experts here at salarycap.net.  (The Phillies are very close to being the best bargain team in baseball, except they still have Pat “strike three’ Burrell)
