The title of this post should be “Utley still the most underrated player in the majors.”

Third is good for Ryan. The top two vote-getters deserved to be where they were. I hope Ryan continues to be a top-vot -getter next year, as well with Chase Utley winning the whole thing.

Utley definately deserves the MVP but will probably never get it because he doesn’t have the power numbers and homers

This goes to my longstanding arguement, that my fellow Phillies fans think Chase Utley is god ..
he’s not ..
He is a very good all-around player.. probably the best 2nd baseman in baseball..
Nowhere near the best player in baseball .. and he goes into a shell in September,.. thank god we’ve got Ryan Howard

Don M,
I agree that Chase Utley’s the best 2nd baseman in baseball, but isn’t the BEST player in baseball (Pujols. However, he is easily in the top 10. Arguably around the top 5. I’d say somewhere around 5-7.
