Anything but Mauer is a travesty.

    Why isn't Ben Zobrist in this poll? I'd argue he's in the discussion for the second most valuable player in the AL.

    Because I was just picking names as I went and spaced him. I apologize. Feel free to vote other if you want.

    It's all good. I voted for Mauer anyway.

    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 think Mauer's would be higher if they could measure Catcher defense.

    No doubt. But the type of year Zobrist has had is still pretty impressive, considering how little he gets talked about by the media.

    Zobrist's value is in his versatility, his offensive numbers are not as good as Mauer's.

    His offensive numbers aren't quite as good as Mauer's, but he did tie Teixeira for the third highest OPS in the league while having the fourth highest OBP (he also was third with a 144 OPS+, albeit 33 points behind Mauer). Add in his fantastic defense at both 2B and RF and you've got yourself a pretty valuable player.
