10 for his last 59 with the playoffs on the line...
Completely let the team down in the the one game playoff (along with Mauer)...
He should have absolutely ZERO chance at the MVP award.

I honestly have no idea who the AL MVP should go to.
K-Rod?! lol

Compare his numbers to the other four top five AL closers.
K-Rod has the WORST ERA, WORST WHIP and MOST BLOWN SAVES.

Plus you love Pedroia lol :lol:
Great player.... just will never agree with him recieving MVP.
Does not matter if your team is in the playoffs, that is not what the MVP is based on.
HE IS AN AWESOME!!! player but facts are he leads no major category, yes plays a great 2B and very good for his team! but then how can you look past YOUK also with his numbers. He has carried the Sox too right?
EDIT:
Yes I know he leads some categories but not in the major one's such as HR/RBI/SB/AVG..... Yes someone will mention somethings that he leads in but I believe the MVP has to have a hand in HR/RBI/AVG too.
I mean lets be serious, in a different town would he be getting as much love?
That is just my opinion, Thanks.
Shep.

Really no Miguel Cabrera? I mean if your gonna include Arod then Miggy's gotta get some attention too.
I would place Pedroia wayyyyyy before Arod.

I have a novel idea. Everyone seems to agree that it was Quentin's to lose and then he broke his wrist. Just give it to Quentin. It will at least settle the debate :lol:

Arod's OPS is statistically the best in the league (Bradley plays in the hitter friendly Texas and has not played that many games). 100+ Runs, 100+ RBI, 116 RC, while playing gold glove defense at 3rd. I will take Arod over Cabrerea, whose OPS is nealy 90 points south of AROD, while playing sub par defense at 1st.

Pedroia should win it hands down. Led the AL in Runs, Doubles and Hits (albeit tied with Ichiro, a feat in itself) and second in batting average. I think that hits and runs are a pretty important stat. Someone mentioned Youkilis who I didn't consider until I looked at the stats. Add on the intangibles that Youk adds to the team, I wouldn't mind if he won.
Morneau won't win after they banned Canadians from ever winning the MVP award again.

Why not Youkilis? Virtually the same totals (and OPS) and played on a playoff team.
Now before you prove to me that Arod hit better under a full moon in Wednesday night home games(and you know how much I love stats), let's keep it simple as we know writers won't delve TOO deeply into the statistics.
I personally think the AL MVP makes for a better debate than Ryan Howard vs. Albert Pujols.
