Dodgers' Matt Kemp Says 2011 National League MVP Ryan Braun Should Lose MVP Award

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp remembers 2011 as the year he was the runner-up to Ryan Braun for the National League Most Valuable Player award. Just a day after Braun was suspended for violating Major League Baseball's drug policy, Kemp believes the Brewers outfielder should lose the MVP award, according to reports.Braun garnered 388 points and 20 first-place votes in 2011 while Kemp had 322 and 10 respectively. The MLB attempted to suspend Braun in October of 2011 following a positive test for elevated testosterone, but after an arbitrator ruled that Braun's urine had been handled improperly, the suspension was dropped.Fast forward two seasons later, and Braun is once again embroiled in controversy as he agreed to a suspension without appeal Monday for violations of baseball's drug policy and labor contract.This time, Kemp feels Braun should be stripped of the honor he won back in 2011.
