Matt Kemp suggests Braun should lose MVP

[Angrioter]

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp thinks suspended Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun should be stripped of the 2011 National League Most Valuable Player award but does not necessarily want it by default.

 

Kemp finished as the runner-up for the NL award two years ago in a close vote.

 

"Do I feel like it should be stripped? I mean, yeah, I do," Kemp said. "I feel like it should be, but that's not for me to decide, you know? That's not for me to decide."

Kemp expressed his disappointment over Braun claiming his innocence before finally acknowledging his mistakes with performance-enhancing substances on Monday and accepting a suspension from Major League Baseball for the remainder of the season.

 

"You don't like getting lied to," Kemp said. "A lot of people feel the same way. I'm sure I'm but another on that list."

As far as Kemp being given the award, he said, "I was in the race for MVP and got second. The voters had their opinion of who they wanted to pick as MVP. You have to respect who they picked. It is what it is. For me, all I can worry about is getting healthy. It definitely would be nice to have an MVP trophy, but I didn't win the MVP. I was second."

 

Kemp is currently nursing a sore ankle he aggravated on Sunday that could land him back on the disabled list.
