PrintIt was a good showing for Braves second baseman Martin Prado in the National League voting, which was announced Tuesday. Joey Votto was rightly voted as the MVP, with Albert Pujols second.
Prado came in ninth between two Phillies, Jayson Werth (8th) and Ryan Howard (10th). Prado was listed on 17 of 32 ballots with his highest vote being one fifth place vote.
Twenty-year old Jason Heyward came in 20th in the voting, receiving four votes, including two seventh-place votes, and Brian McCann was right behind him at 21 with three votes, including one sixth-placed vote.
Overall a good showing for the Braves, who didn't have any player put up the kind of gaudy offensive numbers that usually sway voters in MVP voting.

Congrats!
I wonder what would have happened if he didn’t get injured/cool down at the end of the year

Some asshat gave Howard a 2nd-place vote...
….as well as giving Pujols a 6th place vote….
Prado finished above some very good players, good for him.
...and Hanley Ramirez: zippo
Just sayin…
Bobby Cox, advising Jeff Francoeur about being thrown out of a game: "you’ll probably have to write a $500 check. Or you can do what I do, write a $10,000 one and tell them when it runs out, let me know."
Posey got single votes for 3rd, 4th, and 5th places
Seriously???

Aubrey Huff 7th.
Buster Posey 11th
Brian Wilson 13th.
Lincecum and Cain: zippo. Same vote count as the entire Pirate team.

Prado is a wonderful player to have on the team. Seems to be a real leader in the clubhouse.
Does anyone know who the leaders are the in clubhouse? Chipper is a quiet guy from what I hear, so I’m not sure he would be a leader other than lead by example.
Chipper is the one who organizes the player-only meeting when the team loses focus. So, I would assume it’s him.

Chipper’s never been reserved when it comes to his opinions on the game. Away from baseball he may be a quiet guy, but he’s pretty vocal about the team and the state of the game in general.
ATTENTION CITIZENS: DAN UGGLA IS NOT A THIRD BASEMAN. That is all.
HOLY SHIT
I never in a million years thought they’d actually give it to Votto, especially after the SS and GG both went to that other guy already. Way to invalidate my cynicism, writers. I’m so proud.

They accidentally get one right every once in a while.

GG & SS arent decided by writers
Youve been blaming the wrong people. Writers usually get it right….usually…
GG/SS are voted on by players and managers.

Prado 9th
Uggla T-17th
Heyward 20th
McCann 21st
Looks like a pretty good base to build a team around
Free Matt Young!

i know that.
i mean season MVP not AS MVP. He never got some consideration even when he has been the best offensive catcher in the last 5 year.
Good for Martin!
This guy wants to suck all the cubs dick can he not have an unbias some what partition reguards
