MILWAUKEE -- Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy wants no part of the question, but we posed it anyway.

Does he consider himself a contender for the National League Most Valuable Player Award?

"Someone else was asking me that the other night, and I said, 'Look, man, I don't care,'" Lucroy said. "It doesn't matter right now. None of that stuff is going to come if we don't win. That's cool, great and dandy, whatever. That's great for an individual.

MILWAUKEE, WI - In the latest update for the "We Energies High-Energy Player of the Year" award, Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez remains in first place with 32 percent of the votes, just ahead of catcher Jonathan Lucroy, who has 31 percent of the votes. Lucroy has significantly closed the gap after trailing Gomez by 12 percent in last month's voting results. Second baseman Scooter Gennett surpassed outfielder Ryan Braun to sit comfortably in third place with 14 percent of the votes.

His is an odd name to see in the running. I think we're all still getting used to the idea of Lucroy being a really terrific player, and the NL is the league with Clayton Kershaw and Andrew McCutchen and Giancarlo Stanton in it. Last year, McCutchen won the league MVP. Kershaw won the league Cy Young. Lucroy's never received a single down-ballot MVP vote. But then, before this year, Lucroy hadn't been an All-Star, so things can change, and Lucroy has more than earned consideration. By no means is this a slam dunk and there are still a few weeks for the overall picture to shift, but we can run through the Lucroy argument point by point.

Lucroy's 2B ties record, helps Brewers take lead

Milwaukee's Jonathan Lucroy banged his 45th double as a catcher in the fourth inning tonight, tying him with Texas' Pudge Rodriguez (1996) for the most doubles by a catcher in major league history.

Lucroy, who had the first hit of the game off Cardinals righthander Shelby Miller, then scored the game's first run on a two-out single by Aramis Ramirez.

Overall, Lucroy has 52 doubles to lead the majors but he has six as a first baseman and one as a designated hitter. Before tonight, Lucroy had been tied with the Cardinals' Yadier Molina at 44 for the National League record for doubles by a catcher. Molina had his 44 last year.

Lucroy is coming off the best year in his career as he batted .301 with 13 home runs and 69 RBI. The five-year veteran set career-highs in games played (153), hits (176), runs (73), doubles (53) and walks (66). He appeared in his first All-Star Game, becoming just the second Brewer in franchise history to start behind the plate in the game. Lucroy went 2-for-2 with two RBI doubles in the Midsummer Classic. The Brewers' backstop collected 53 doubles to become the first primary catcher in modern MLB history (since 1900) to lead the Major Leagues in doubles. Lucroy's 53 doubles also tied Lyle Overbay (2004) for the franchise single-season record. In addition, the Florida native ranked among the National League leaders in multi-hit games (3rd, 53), extra-base hits (T3rd, 68), hits (T5th, 176), batting average (7th, .301) and on-base percentage (8th, .373).
