It isn't easy to win an MVP while playing for a last place club but that is exactly what Portland shortstop Chris Tobin did today.
It was a close race as Tobin narrowly edged out Charlotte left fielder Cody Kane.
Tobin had a good all-around season playing a very important defensive position. He finished 2nd in hits and doubles in the MGL and tied for 2nd in OPS+, 4th in total bases, 6th in batting average and extra base hits, 7th in OPS and wOBA. His WAR of 6.5 was 2nd best in the MGL.
Denver's Ryan Rodgers garnered 35 points in the voting while Bobby Erbakan and Andrew Kennedy finished at the bottom of the voting list with 3 and 2 points respectively.
