If the Astros do make the playoffs, Lance should come up #2 in the MVP voting. I don't think, barring an injury or serious slump from Pujols, that anyone will take it from Lance. That said, I would not take Pujols for Lance straight up. Lance is one of the best hitters in the major leagues, and he has been helping the team out by being able to play RF as well...has Pujols done that? Personally, Lance Berkman is my favorite player of all-time.
