SB Nation NL MVP Goes To Joey Votto

Joey Votto of the Cincinnati Reds won the 2010 SB Nation National League MVP. Votto led the Reds to the NL Central Division by hitting .324/.424/.600, with 37 home runs and 113 RBI. Votto received 27 of the 33 first place votes from SB Nation bloggers, outdistancing Albert Pujols of the Cardinals. Pujols won last year's SB Nation NL MVP unanimously.

All you have to know about the Dodgers season is that 27 different people got a vote as one of the 10 most valuable players in the National League, and there was not a Dodger among them. Here are the voting results:

  • Eric: Pujols, Votto, Halladay, Ubaldo, Zimmerman, Holliday, Tulo, Wainwright, Johnson, Huff
  • Phil: Votto, Pujols, A.Gonzalez, Tulo, C.Gonzalez, Werth, Zimmerman, Huff, Rolen, Holliday
