Murphy was the obvious choice, I believe, if you subscribe to the
notion that the MVP is the player with the most RUNS CREATED, i.e.
runs + rbi's - hr's (I'm omitting pitchers who didn't figure
in the MVP running in the NL this year).  If I remember the
final stats right, Murphy was way ahead by this measure.  In the
AL it should be Ripken or Cooper.
