Since 2013, Paul Goldschmidt has been unbeatable when it comes to the ‘Pitties. He has taken home three consecutive MVP awards, and it hasn’t been particularly close. In 2013, when we had a 5-3-1 system, he got all but one of the first-place choices. In 2014, he fell just short of an overall majority, at 49%, but still ended up with more than twice the votes of his nearest rival, despite missing the last third of the season. And in 2015, it was a complete and utter landslide, Goldschmidt receiving 80% of the ballots.
This year, it might be different.
