Durham getting hardware?

Obviously Ray Durham isn't a top-of-the-ballot MVP guy. But looking at the dearth of stars, easpecially at premium positions, and the lack of legitamate contenders, I'm wondering whether Durham might finish in the top ... 10?

He's the only source of offense, at a premium position, in a team that might have meaningful games in September.

Who is more likely to get votes?
Pujols
Beltran
Soriano
Utley
Howard
Reyes
Berkman

Maybes:
M. Cabrera?
Mccann?
Hoffman?
Adrian Gonzales?
Nomar?
Bill Hall?
A. Jones?
D. Wright?

I'm thinking top 10.
Thoughts?

Re: Durham getting hardware?
Actually, if there's any justice, Ray Ray'll be in consideration for Silver Slugger at 2nd (he's basically tied with Utley in SLG, but Chase has a better BA and therefore OBP).  But MVP?  Not so good, Al.

Durham is obviously worse than Uttley
Both as a hitter and a fielder. No way he gets MVP consideration. In the unlikely event that a Giant position player gets any votes, it'll be Vizquel.

No chance
MVPs come from good teams, usually
2002? I'm over it.

I thought this thread was going to talk about Ray Ray getting braces.

I hope he didn't get one with an exploding battery.
