NL Infields

I just realized that the last two NL MVPs have come from the Phillies, which, you know, doesn't make any sense because they suck. I don't fault either one of the MVPs, because they both Howard and Rollins deserved it, but to win back to back should connote some time of success. I got to thinking that the most likely MVP on that team has to be Chase Utley, if one were to put vegas odds on the upcoming season. Well, that makes 3/4s of the infield MVP caliber, a very high fraction. When arguing about the Brewers, I always make the claim that we have one of the best infields in the MLB, but the first step should be to see if we are the best in the NL. Well, besides the Phillies, Florida would have been a great choice, but they traded the anchor of their infield (Cabrera) this off-season. Other than that, I can't really think of anyone nearly as good as the Brewers/Phils. I actually have to go now, but I will be back with a breakdown of the two teams later on.
