Ryan Braun may be penalized in the NL MVP voting this month for his failed drug test last year.
He won the award last year before news of his drug test became public. It is believed that Buster Posey will win the award for 2012.
"Braun deserves to be among the top vote-getters but some are speculating he will be left off some ballots completely. That would show a definite agenda by an voters who do so," writes Tom Haudricourt.
