Kershaw has faced 749 batters. The hitter with the most plate appearances in the NL has 699 at bats. Saying that Kershaw doesn't have as big of an impact is simply not true. He's a great defender, as well.
Also, he leads the NL in wins above replacement and he missed 5 weeks. He has had a once in a lifetime season. This is gonna be the fourth straight year he's led the majors in ERA, which has never been done. He's the best player in the national league. Period.
Nowhere in the wording of the MVP award does it say that a pitcher can't win it. Until it does, pitchers can win it.
Kershaw has been the best player in the NL all season long, has an astounding WAR even though he missed 5 weeks. Put him on the Marlins and they would have made the playoffs. He was that good. The Dodgers had an over 80 percent chance of winning any game he pitched in.
I've owned both Iphone and Android. I prefer Android, but it's really up to the user. My Galaxy S5 has never given me problems, whereas my experience with my iphone for 2 years was full of some pretty frustrating stuff. I didn't like the restrictiveness of the apple devices, and found the battery life to be poor even with the screen dimmed. Lack of third party keyboards also frustrated me, because I am not a fan at all of the apple keyboard. IOS itself is a more than adequate OS. Also, apple support really was condescending to me(when I phoned them because my S5 wasn't receiving texts from Iphone users, they suggested I get an Iphone or an Ipod wtf). Also wasn't happy with having to use Itunes as a media player, as I think it's rubbish compared to Zune or WMP.
My suggestion would be to go to all the phone stores and play with all the phones before making your choice. The windows phone and the HTC One are also great phones in addition to the iphone and the Galaxy S5 and Note. LG also has some pretty good phones. All the phones are pretty similar despite some differences. It will all come down to what matters to you personally.
