Giants MVP?

I'm watching MLB Network, and Harold Reynolds just said, "Andres Torres is the Giants MVP this year." Really? Torres has been a fine player for San Francisco, but let's look at a few of his more productive teammates...
  • Aubrey Huff 1B/OF: 291/.382./.510, 26 HR in 153 games
  • Buster Posey C/1B: .311/.364/.504, 16 HR in 104 games
  • Tim Lincecum SP: 16-10, 3.43 ERA, 212 IP
  • Matt Cain SP: 13-10, 2.95 ERA, 219 IP
  • Brian Wilson RP: 3-3, 1.83 ERA, 74 IP, 47 saves

Now compare those numbers with Mr. Torres: .268/.343/.480, 15 HR in 135 games. The fact that he plays CF should be considered, but I would still take anyone from the list above. As per usual, Harold Reynolds has me scratching my head.
