NL MVP CONTENDERS - Rizzo & Goldschmidt
Paul Goldschmidt has been an MVP candidate for years. Playing for the Diamondbacks, he does not receive the national acclaim he is due. With increased pressure to win, and AJ Pollack's injury, much attention will land on Goldschmidt's shoulders.
If the Cubs are able to fulfill their promise in 2016, Anthony Rizzo will carry a significant load. Rizzo crept into the NL MVP conversation last season. Rizzo appears comfortable in a leadership role on the young Cubs team.
