If you really believe MVP goes to the person that contributed most to their respective team's success than for me Holliday is a no doubter.

For me, it's Rollins by a nose ... the difference-maker being defence. He plays great defence in one of the most demanding positions; whereas LF (Holliday) and 1B (Fielder) are the least demanding.
Rollins is the Phillies' clubhouse leader, and was the only regular in the lineup everyday. Before the season started, he named the Phillies the favourites to win the AL East, and on the last day of the season, he gets on base 3 times, scores two runs, steals two bases, and bats in his 94th run of the season with his 20th triple. He called the shot and he delivered.
--A leadoff man who led the league in runs scored by a wide margin, with 94 RBIs --He was second in the NL in extra-base hits (behind Holliday) --He was the 4th ever member of the 20-20-20-20 club --In a season where the Phillies struggled with injuries, he showed up everyday, scored tons of runs, got into the 30-30 Club, played great D, and broke the record for ABs in a season.
Holliday was great, but if you look at his splits, he clearly benefits from playing at Coors. The Brewers didn't make the playoffs, and Fielder's clumsy playing first.
So I go 1. Rollins 2. Holliday 3. Fielder

I'll take Holliday whose stock has risen tremendously the last two weeks. Without him, the Rockies are watching the playoffs on the tube, with him they spark a rally and get into a one-game playoff with the Padres. Rollins is diminished in valuability due to having Utley and Howard in the same lineup.

Really really close, I went for Rollins by a hair from Holliday.

I went with Holliday. I've been honking him all season. I would not be upset, however, if Rollins won. He was consistant all year, and he was the key player while Howard and Burrell were struggling, and Utley and Victorino got hurt.

I can't even pick this one. It would be nice to se Rollins get it, but I wouldn't argue if it was cut in half.

I'm going to cheat and say Matt Holliday based on the playoffs.

Holliday is a freak. Sadly, I had to see him manhandle the Phils to many times this year. I was fairly certain their playoff run was over when Matt got his raspberry

i like holliday but his defense leaves something to be desired. rollins is more than 5 tool. i can see them giving it to holliday but it's pretty clear to me J-Roll is the truth. rollins can do what holliday can but holliday can't do everything rollins can.
