Ok, I think most of the other big awards have obvious winners, or at least 1-2 dominant candidates. I'm not so sure about the AL MVP, although I know who I'd vote for. Who do you think earned it?

    Joe Mauer. There is no other choice.

    Mauer for sure-any Yankee ineligible because of their field

    Mauer and it shouldn't even be close.

    If Joe Mauer doesn't win something's really wrong.

    Joe Mauer With Power. No, not Matt Wieters. Joe Mauer.

  • Quote

    Mauer should be the only one with votes. There is no logical case that can be made for any other player in the AL.

    I could make a faint, distant case for Ben Zobrist, but it would be beyond a stretch. The award should be Mauer's.

    He actually had the highest WAR in baseball, tied with Pujols. His defense was pretty damn good at 2B and RF, but it's still tough to make a case for him over Mauer.

    I don't agree totally with the Yankee Stadium argument. Mauer's splits are a lot better at home as well.

     

    Mauer AB R HR RBI AVG OPS

    Home 241 56 16 53 .386 1.105

    Away 278 38 12 43 .345 .959

     

    Jeter AB R HR RBI AVG OPS

    Home 311 57 13 40 .331 .908

    Away 323 50 5 26 .337 .836

    Longoria was my early season favorite. But it's damn near impossible to argue against Mauer. And the fact that he missed the first month makes his season even more amazing. It's not as open an shut a case as the NL MVP. But it's close.

  • Quote

    I would be interested to know who voted Jeter, and why?

  • Quote

    Since Joe Mauer deserves it, Justin Morneau should win it. You know, historical precedent and all.

    I went with Mauer but I could see people making the argument for Jeter considering they did win 103 games.

    Nah, it's totally Jason Giambi's to lose.

    If he doesn't win it, I give up on baseball.

    Mauer, Teixeira, Jeter, Miguel Cabrera, Youkilis, Torii Hunter, Carl Crawford, Evan Longoria, Ichiro - in that order.

    There is no argument. Mauer is the clear-cut MVP.
