Balta1701 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Ok, I think most of the other big awards have obvious winners, or at least 1-2 dominant candidates. I'm not so sure about the AL MVP, although I know who I'd vote for. Who do you think earned it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Joe Mauer. There is no other choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) Mauer should be the only one with votes. There is no logical case that can be made for any other player in the AL. Edited October 5, 2009 by Felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no logical case that can be made for any other player in the AL. I could make a faint, distant case for Ben Zobrist, but it would be beyond a stretch. The award should be Mauer's.

Felix Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 He actually had the highest WAR in baseball, tied with Pujols. His defense was pretty damn good at 2B and RF, but it's still tough to make a case for him over Mauer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauer's splits are a lot better at home as well.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Longoria was my early season favorite. But it's damn near impossible to argue against Mauer. And the fact that he missed the first month makes his season even more amazing. It's not as open an shut a case as the NL MVP. But it's close.

Milkman delivers Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Since Joe Mauer deserves it, Justin Morneau should win it. You know, historical precedent and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prochisox Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Mauer, Teixeira, Jeter, Miguel Cabrera, Youkilis, Torii Hunter, Carl Crawford, Evan Longoria, Ichiro - in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
