Congratulations Jimmy Rollins

It was very nice to see that Jimmy Rollins won the National League MVP today he is absolutely one of my favorite players in the game. He isn't flashy he just does everything well including the occasional burst of power. But Rollins is at his best when he's setting the table for his teammates like Chase Utley and Ryan Howard. It's nice to see the MVP award given to a lead off hitter because in most cases I believe that lead off hitters are underapprciated in the game today. Everyone wants to hit the long ball and while homeruns are fun to watch they are really just an exciting bonus. Manufacturing runs has become a lost art in a lot of places in the game but I think that's the way the game should be played it just feels right that way. Baseball doesn't have to boring if it's played that way either, speed is a very exciting part of the game and Jimmy Rollins is fun to watch because he could steal a base at any time. If that wasn't enough he's also a great defensive short stop who just happened to win the gold glove this year.
