2005 NLDS MVP: Atlanta v. Detroit
The 2005 Stroh's DLDS MVP Award goes to.....
CL KELSEY VAN AS. Round of Applause!!
Essentially the decision was between George "Shameless" Johnson or van As because there was really no offensive contenders. van As notched 4 Saves in this series and 3 of them game in 1 run ballgames. Only Game 1 when van As came into the 9th with a 3 run lead was relatively easy. Once the mighty Confederates reached the 9th it was lights out as van As was rarely even threatened. The pressure and workload may have gotten to him as he recently came down with a viral infection and will miss the first two games of the NLCS.
