Again, this would be an argument if Votto was several WAR ahead of the next guy. He wasn't. He, Arenado, and Stanton all had nearly identical seasons.
If 3 guys have identical seasons and one of them carries his team to the playoffs on the back of that season and the others don't, people are going to vote for that guy for an award given to the player who is 'most valuable to his team'. I'm not sure why this is so hard to grasp.
Obviously there have been many horrible selections throughout the history of the award. Arenado wouldn't be one of them.
Well that's just stupid. If 3 guys had identical season then they both gave it equally to help their team make it. Just because 2 of them have inferior teammates all of a sudden those identical seasons are no more?
