Congrats to him, and I am really glad the Brewers have him locked up long term. :salut:

By the way, I do believe he probably is an asshole. But, he is one hell of a hitter.

Ive found he is less douchey the last year or so than when he first came up but I agree.

He was a schmuck on wheels when he first came up

I noticed he seemed better this year too, but since he lives in Wisconsin it's tough for me to give him any credit.

Who was more worthy of the NL MVP honors? I know Matt Kemp had a monster year for a Dodgers' team that didn't contend in the NL West, especially with all the chaos surrounding the McCourts' divorce, the bankruptcy filing and the fact the Dodgers are now up for sale.

Good thing he got this now, he won't be as good without the fat man riding shotgun

I know who you're referring, RFDC, and a case can also be made for the soon-to-be ex-Brewer Prince Fielder.

SJ, I didn't say Matt Kemp was going to win it. He had a monster year and just got a big contract that CNBC's Darren Rovell believes will ultimately be an albatross around the neck of the Dodgers' next owner.

Spanky, I will lock you in Miller Park next summer and turn off all of the lights. Enjoy your stay in Wisconsin.

You can't trust Darren Rovell.

Kemp should have won it. Was screwed by the Dodgers fiasco.

Better offensively and defensively.

It was a fiasco beyond Matt Kemp's control. It didn't stop the BBWAA from awarding lefty Clayton Kershaw the NL Cy Young Award.

Of course he is claiming Bullshit and his agent is saying the same thing, but if the test revealed elevated levels of testoserone, so what else delivers such side effects???

If he is taking supplements and did not get them cleared, he should serve the penalty. This is his best case scenario

Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports hears from a source that Braun tested positive for a prohibited substance, not a performance-enhancing drug.

If true he may be guilty of being a dumbass rather than a cheater. But then again Manny tested positive for a prohibited substance which was actually a masking agent. They'll try to spin it but in the end Braun will probably be looked at as a cheater.

No, but Mike Greenwell (2nd place in voting) said he wanted the 88 award after Canseco admitted steroid use.
