Ryan Howard?

Dale Murphy won two MVPs in the 80s and he's not in.

Re: AL MVP Discussion

As a Twins fan, I can honestly say that Morneau had been the MVP of the team and could have been a legitimate candidate through August. However, September counts a lot and Morneau struggled. IMO it should be between Mauer, Pedroia and Youkilis with the edge going to Youk.

A shame Justin went cold the last month. He would've been the clear cut winner had he kept his numbers inline with the rest of the season. My money's on Pedroia as he is getting all the face time in the media MVP discussions.

If only Carlos Quentin wouldn't have hurt himself.

Ahh the curse of the 1980's. I should have remembered Dale Murphy, thanks.

Rivera, Joakim Soria, Nathan, Papelbon in that order.

QFT. Rodriguez has had a decent year but basing a player's value on the saves category isn't very showing of his true value. I guarantee if any one of those closers mentioned above were on the Angels closing this year, they would've broken the saves record too, and probably have closed a couple more than K-Rod. He doesn't really deserve mention for the AL Cy Young much less the AL MVP.

Yeah, he would've ran away with it...

Juan Gonzalez, Roger Maris, and Barry Bonds say hello.

Just kidding. I'm not allowed to print what Barry said.

Re: AL MVP Discussion

If Pedroia wins it is a freaking joke. It should be Youkilis if its anybody from the Red Sox.
