That's great to hear. He deserved some kudos for his fantastic season.

 

I agree with all the other picks except for Derek Jeter, no f-ing way jeter deserved it over lots of other SS's in the league.

Actualy, my instinct said that at first too. Then I looked at the qualifying AL shortstop stats. Jeter was the only AL shortstop hitting over .285. His .771 OPS at SS was 2nd to Peralta's .804. The next highest OPS for an AL shortstop was Michael Young at .741. Cabrera was 4th, with his dominant .705 OPS.

 

You could make an effective case that Peralta should have beaten him. But really, that's the only guy who's even remotely close.

If only Alexei was at short this season...
