Your Picks for AL & NL MPV

Re: Your Picks for AL & NL MPV

What Arod did, in the number of games that he played, and still playing while fully recovering from his hip surgery, is amazing.

It was then, and only then, when Arod came back, everyone else got better. Arod's presence in the lineup made a big difference.

To me, this is what an MVP is. Without Arod for the season, who knows where the Yankees would have ended up. That's your MVP!

3AROD13 I know your an AROD fan but realistically he didn't do anything more special then other players who were injured and had surgery and missed the begining of the season.
2009 AROD stats 124 Games - 30 Home Runs 100 RBI's .286 Batting Avg

Posada 111 Games - 22 Home Runs 81 RBI's .285 Batting Avg
Lowell 119 Games - 17 Home Runs 75 RBI's .290 Batting Avg

Now quite a few of these games for Posada & Lowell were to come in and pinch hit.
Imagine if they came in for the same amount of games and played full games as AROD did - There numbers would be tied if not passed ARODS.

Now as far as the argument that everyone says "Well the team started doing better when AROD came back into the lineup"

I disagree with that also because he came back when any normal team would start warming back up. Not to mention Tex is infamously known for being absolutely cold in the begining of the season. By the time AROD came back is when he started warming up.
So I disagree with that argument

I wonder if Jeter and Teixeira votes will not get Jeter the AL MVP.

Jeter is having an amazing year so I think he deserves it.

AL Jeter
NL Pujols. Ryan Zimmerman a close 2nd

It's just my opinion.

Re: Your Picks for AL & NL MPV

Joe Mauer is my AL MVP - what a great player he ended up being! He's everything that the hype told us...and yet, he is humble. If we didn't have a terrific catcher (STL), I'd LOVE to have him as a Cardinal.

OF course Albert is my MVP - however, down the stretch, the power numbers cooled (yet he still made key plays and did the little things to help his team win) - and Prince Fielder really turned it on. Actually, so did Braun (20/20 member)...so those guys both need some serious consideration.

One guy who never gets enough credit is Pablo Sandoval in San Fran. That guy is bringing people back to the game...he kind of reminds me of a Willie McGee type mistake hitter and is exciting to watch. He is my 'people's choice' winner.

Pedoria winning the MVP last has to be the biggest joke that the writers made in selecting a MVP.

Don't even know why im asking but I will anyway...if not Pedroia then who? He was in the top 4 of all ballots (except the 1 writer that left him off) It wasn't a season with any stand out candidates...

Josh Hamilton had a better year.

But Tony,

You need to be punished, disagreed with, insulted, and abused like the little b!t(h that you are ....so please take it like a man and don't argue with this place! These guys know what's going on.....you don't.

Any questions?

Signed, a fellow little b!t(h of the forum who also knows nothing.

Zimmerman, IMO, won't even be considered because he is on the Nats. He has a great shot to win the gold glove, but I think it should go to other NL east thirdbaseman (Feliz). Nevertheless, Zimmerman had his best season yet and more is to come.

Sorry, forgot the smiley face on Zim being #2 as I was joking of sorts as Zim played on the team with the worst record and there are others more deserving at #2, #3, #4. So maybe #5 for Zim
