He's truly in the conversation by the nerd stats too at this point. For example, fWAR... Arenado: 3.8 Cain: 3.7 Freeman: 3.5 Realmuto: 3.5 Goldschmidt: 3.5 Baez: 3.4 Add in the fun factor and the things you can't even quantify 100% that he does on a baseball field... I think he'd have a lot of votes. Obviously being able to keep it up to this level with his refusal to walk over 3% of the time will be a problem, but to this point he's worthy of the NL MVP. Yeah, I don't think he'll keep it up at a level necessary to win it at the end of the year. But, at this point, my biased ass would refuse to vote for anyone else.
