Jeter Not Mvp ?

Re: Jeter Not Mvp ?

Twins won 96 Games Yankees won 97 - Exactly Twins didnt do any better

Twins won the division by 1 game Yankees by 10? Yeah not because we got any better but because the Red Sox started playing worse because of there poor pitching - and technically wiining by 10 in my books has always beaten 1

Combined wins I agree it may have been a tad bit harder for the Twins but we werent losing our games gracisouly to the dominant teams we were losing poorly to the bad teams.

I do appreciate you proving my point!!!

As I said before Jeter carried us otherwise we wouldn't have even made as far as we did!!!

Your kidding right? Please tell me your kidding. The Twins won a MUCH TOUGHER division by one game versus the Yankees winning a MUCH WEAKER division by 10. By no stretch of the imagination can you say without Morneau the Twins do not take the division or make the playoffs. You can not say the same for Jeter. The Yankees won the division by 10 games.

Jeter hit .343 with 214 hits compared to Morneau hitting .321 with 190 hits. If Jeter got 24 fewer hits to equal Morneau, rest assured the Yankees are still going to make the playoffs. My point is Morneau's contributions to his team's success far outweighed Jeter's contributions to his teams success. If you can't see that then there is not point in having this discussion.

Re: Jeter Not Mvp ?

bottom line......jeter should have been MVP. if he wasnt a yankee, if arod didnt win it last year, jeter would be the mvp. look at the numbers, plain and simple. morneau was a nobody before the second half of the season, and i'm sure he will return to being a nobody in '07. jeter is a better player and had a better season. but it doesnt matter, its an award from a bunch of biased writers. jeter will make the hall without it. most people believe that they got it wrong in both leagues. i am one of them.

I really have to laugh when Yankee fans complain about the media being biased! Come on! Joe DiMaggio is God on earth? Lefty Gomez? Red Ruffing? Rizzuto over Marion and/or Travis?

Throw in Freddie Lindstrom and George Kelly, too. There are 49 other states out there who are tired of hearing about all things New York!!
