Pujols a unanimous NL MVP: Albert Pujols was unanimously voted NL MVP on Tuesday. Pujols received all 32 first-place votes and 448 points in balloting announced by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Pujols led the majors in home runs (47), runs (124), slugging percentage (.658) and intentional walks (44), and topped the NL in on-base percentage (.443). He was second in the league in doubles (45) and third in batting average (.327) and RBI (135). He was especially dangerous with the bases loaded, going 10 for 17 with five grand slams, three doubles and 35 RBI. Florida's Hanley Ramirez, the NL batting champion, was second with 233 points, followed by Philadelphia's Ryan Howard (217) and Milwaukee's Prince Fielder (203), who tied Howard for the big league lead in RBI.

Fantasy Analysis
Pujols didn't homer in his final 89 regular and postseason at-bats after Sept. 9. He had minor surgery Oct. 21 to remove a bone spur from his right elbow. He had feared he might need ligament replacement, causing him to miss the first half of next season. "My elbow was fine," Pujols said. "I don't put that as an excuse. I was still playing every day out there." Consider Pujols the No. 1 player to have in Fantasy Baseball 2010. Ramirez was No. 1, but he falls back to No. 2, while Howard and Fielder are late first-rounders in most leagues.
