Bonds is the king of the solo homer and is a marginal defensive outfielder. Puljos is putting up triple crown type numbers.
Puljos .370 AVG 33 HR 105 RBI 105 R 40 K in 118 Games
Bonds .341 AVG 37 HR 77 RBI 88 R 49 K in 101 Games
I mean come one dude, How can you say Bonds is the MVP?
LOL. Marginal defensive player? How many gold gloves has he won? Obviuosly you haven't seen some of the great defensive catches he's made this year. And let me add this, very few outfielders today or ever had the arm to throw out guys either like Bonds. Bonds is the best player ever to live. Period. I am not a Bonds or Giants fan, but the closest players imo you can compare him too is Mantle or Mays. As for this year, Bonds will win it if the Cards miss the playoffs. If they make it Pujols I think will get it. But I don't think anyone you can complain with either of these guys whoever wins it. Marginal defensive player, lol, man some people.
