MVP voting should be applied to real runs created not hypothetical mathematical runs created. In 2013 Griffin deserved the MVP because he statistically produced more runs and rbi's than Eldridge and therefore was of more value to his team.

You have to be able to understand that Runs and RBI totals are a function of your teammates.
Let's just agree to disagree because if by 2008 you don't understand that much it's probably too late.
