true that ryan howard is an mvp candidate, he's had an amazing year as a hitter on a not so good team. however, taking into account that the mets will make the post season, do you think it's possible that carlos beltran may be even more deserving overall? reason i ask, I saw beltran play this year and he's not just hitting well -- he was diving for balls, making great plays, running -- doesn't he have too much substance, on a great team, to be overlooked for mvp by flash?
