Dude deserves to be there every year on his defense alone. If he took the game as serious as some hed be a top offensive player every year. Hes proved that last month when Smoltz came to him after Chipper went done and told him to put the team on his back, he did. Consider Atlanta has consistently started rookies all year and thanks to AJ they are hanging in thereif you call third best team in the NL hanging in there.

He is leading the majors in homeruns, always a popular category, and he has always been known for his defense. Definitely a deserving choice.
