Justin Morneau.

 

I think Jeter deserved it in 2006.

 

Morneau had Castillo with a .358 OBP, Punto with a .352 OBP, Mauer with a .429 OBP, and Cuddyer with a .362 OBP. Anyone could get RBI's with that on base percentage in front of you.

While I agree he didn't deserve the MVP, I don't think we should fault the guy for having guys who can get on base in front of him.

No it's just an argument that RBIs should not hold any weight against another player with similar stats like SLG%, etc. The only time a player can guarantee an RBI is on a home run.
