The pitchers have thier Cy Young. A position player should be the MVP.

i agree with this if one is deserving, not one position player stands
out at all to me. verlander just destroyed everyone, has to be him.
if granderson had gotten 10 more lousy hits, would have put him at 280
and he would be deserving. .262 just aint gonna work. ellsbury is to big a
piece of filthy garbage on a disgusting lets fold up tent team, and bautista
is on the jays, to bad. it will be verlander

AL MVP Announced Today
Who do you guys think will win?
I think Jose Bautista should win but with his team not making the playoffs that will ruin his chances like Miguel Cabrera in 2010. I am going with Justin Verlander because I am a homer.

I'm going Bautista. Just a hunch.

MVP should go to the Most Valuable Player for his team, and occasionally it's a guy playing every 5 days who deserved it.
Verlander is my pick.

Technically Ellsbury is the Most Valuable Player to his team. His WAR was 9.1. I think Verlander will win though.

Jose Bautista
Pedro Martinez 1999: 23-4, 2.07 ERA, 5 complete games, 160 hits, 49 ER, 37 BB, 313 K's, 0.923 WHIP, 13.2 K/9.
Justin Verlander 2011: 24-5, 2.40 ERA, 4 complete games, 174 hits, 67 ER, 57 BB, 250 K's, 0.920 WHIP, 9.0 K/9.
Pedro was left completely off 1 ballot in 99. He was pitching in the "steroid era" against arguably the best hitting competition in history. There are people who wont vote for pitchers and if that's going to be the case, pitchers should not and will not win.
Ellsbury should win.

Stoked for Verlander, had an outstanding year and won games when the Tigers needed them the most.
Michael Young received a first place vote. That's bonkers.
Bautista received one 9th and Ellsbury one 10th.
I'd love to read the arguments of those writers. Just insanity.
Congrats to Verlander. Don't think he necessarily deserved it but it's far from outlandish.

I think Bautista was robbed. Cabrera was an excellent choice as well. I'm not persuaded that Verlander deserved it.
