Picking the Phillies' first-half MVP is harder than it seems

The Philadelphia Phillies concluded their first half at 55-41 and still hold onto first place in the NL East. Although the lead is only by half a game, it proves how hard this baseball team has worked to continuously fight in the standings. Although the team has been an even 19-19 since June 1, they still wouldn't have gotten to their winning record without contributions from some notable names.

This Phillies team, like the last few years, is filled with stars up and down the roster. Many have contributed greatly to get the Phillies to where they are now.
