Most Valuable Brewer: An Excercise in Stupidity

PrintLocal ESPN Radio here in Madison (The Heller and Murphy show) had a rousing discussion yesterday on who is the most valuable Brewer. Not a bad topic. You've got Braun. Sheets. An entire sub-topic of whether CC is eligible for his half a season. I suppose if you really wanted to, you could make a case for Hart or Fielder or Hardy.
Sounds like a pretty interesting discussion, right?
Wrong.
The host proceeds to make his MVP case for....wait for it...wait for it...
Jason Kendall.
I kid you not. Braun was barely mentioned in the discussion. Because, you know, Kendall is solely responsible for every out the Brewer pitching staff has recorded this season. Except, perhaps, for when Torres is on the mound, because he got heavy MVP consideration, too.
Thankfully, the fill-in co-host mentioned that he's not too sure a guy batting .250 with one home run is the most valuable Brewer, but this is an hour of my life that I cannot reclaim. Though, if there is ever a KUG HoF, I hope this segment is recovered and immediately enshrined.

Well
Adding Kendall did give the green light for dumping Johnny Estrada, that has to be good for at least +20 wins, right?
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
Not to mention
It freed up the room we needed to sign Sabathia.
Room at the post-game buffet, that is.
C. Magruder scored, R. Weeks to second on balk
Plus
a lot of his work isn’t really in the stat book it’s what he has brought with the pitching staff. I don’t think I’ve ever heard pitchers at the end of games talk so much about their catcher being the key to the game.
I can't tell whether this is serious or not
Someone help. I’ve gone through the looking glass.

you could make a case for Hart or Fielder or Hardy.
How about this:
you could make a case for Hart Cameron or Fielder or Hardy
Or, you could make a case for Branyan! He was the sparkplug that turned this team around!
Tues: George (34, throw) Mon: George 3 E (33, throwing, throwing, throwing)
I would have to give it to...
Turnbow. If he wouldn’t have pitched so horribly, he would probably still be on the team taking up an additional pitchers spot. I like to think that freed up roster spot eventually turned into CC.
"He's been very, very impressive," Yost said. "I mean really impressive. I mean really, really impressive."

Heller's a nice guy...
… but he’s a dumbass homer on a regular basis.
