This is the one thing that I pray to God never happens. If Votto wins it, Pujols needs to stay 110% healthy in order for it to actually mean something. While it would be a tremendous feat for Votto to win it, people would remember that he only got it because Pujols pulled a back muscle and had to sit out the final three weeks.
Its like the final season that Ted Williams batted over .400 and he went into the last game and his manager said that since he was at .401, he was going to bench him to make sure he kept that average. Williams said if I am going to hit .400, I am doing it play, not of the bench. He went 3 for 6 and raised his average to .406
