Your Picks for AL & NL MPV

Re: Your Picks for AL & NL MPV

I would pick Mauer, but keep in mind that he missed a pretty decent portion of the start of the season, therefore, if he actually played, his avg. may not be as high as it is.

And yes, I agree that Arod isnt even the MVP on his own team. That could even go to two other guys if it wanted to.

How about Cy Youngs?

AL- Greinke
NL- I dont care.

AL - Derek Jeter

The only thing Miguel Cabrera is going to get is drunk tonight(Monday) .....and have the s#!t kicked out of him by his wife again before he leaves Tuesday morning for the park to go 0-4 again in the most important game of the Tigers season.....

Re: Your Picks for AL & NL MPV

I would like to see Miguel Cabrera get it...or Joe Mauer. I saw a report not that long ago that said Miguels numbers were the closest to Albert Pujols's. It will be interesting to see what they decide.

What do you think about Cy Young.
I hope Greinke gets it...but I think Verlander has made a solid bid for himself and of course there is the Sabathia argument as well. Not really sure about the NL race. Any thoughts?

Cabrera has good numbers but struggled the last few weeks... big reason why Tigers are playing tomorrow.

I think a guy that gets over looked cause of all the star power in NY is Robinson Cano... he had a Pedroia type year

Re: Your Picks for AL & NL MPV

NL Pujols
AL I would actually like to see Morales get it. As he worked very hard to fill the shoes of Tex and did a great job.

As far as AROD his numbers were not that much better than Posadas. So if your going to consider AROD you might as well consider Posada and I am sure none of you are going to consider Posada.

Not for nothing, if anything Posada should have be considered way stronger or if not, I will even say tied for 2007 AL MVP.
But thats just my 2 cents......

Re: Your Picks for AL & NL MPV

I agree, Greinke (sp?) for Cy Young....but I hate that there always seems to be an East Coast bias.

Re: Your Picks for AL & NL MPV

I'm with the majority....

Mauer

Pujols

Without those 2 guys both teams don't make the Playoff....even though the Twins have one more to win.

Re: Your Picks for AL & NL MPV

I really think they need to take a good look at Bobby Abreu. For an older player he continues to be a valuable asset to his team.

Re: Your Picks for AL & NL MPV

I go with Teixeira just because he led the league in RBIs, plays solid defensem and played a full season. He didn't miss a notable amount of games like Mauer and ARod. ARod ended up with 30 HR and 100 RBI on the last day of the season. Teixeira's offense really didn't click until ARod came back.

Pujol hands down in the NL.


Looking for great things from the Yankees this postseason.

Re: Your Picks for AL & NL MPV

So AROD didn't miss any games this year 30 HRs, 100 RBIs, 78 RUNs & .402 OBP in just 125 games is just as impressive as what Mauer did.

you can say what you want about AL MVP and MVP on the Yankees.... The Yankees did not take off this year with the best record until AROD got back in the lineup. If he's not the Yanks MVP then it's Jeter. Big Tex would of not had the year he had without AROD behind him.

With that being said let's see if AROD shows up this year in the playoffs

You're right....A Roid did miss some time....I forgot. My bad. He's still not showing up in October though. He proves me right every year. Big Tex still is a better player though, with or without him. Mauer never was tied to Roids though so my vote goes for him. He batted wayyyyyy better too. Didn't A Roid barely make it to .275?

Re: Your Picks for AL & NL MPV

AL: Mauer

NL: King Albert


An MVP actually helps your team win at all costs. I'm willing to bet money that ARod turns into KRod in the playoffs like he does every year he's there. For a guy making 30 mil, you'd think he'd do more in the playoffs when and where it counts.

Mauer was huge and missed a big chunk of the season due to injury. Very impressive!!
