Ryan Braun's 2012 Stats:
40 HRs (1st in the NL)
168 Hits (4th in the NL)
324 Total Bases (1st in the NL)
103 RBIs (2nd in the NL)
95 Runs Scored (2nd in the NL)
With those numbers, and with the Brewers surging to just 2.5 games back of the wildcard after an awful 3/4 of a season and being sellers (Grienke trade) at the deadline, he has to be firmly in the NL MVP discussion now.
