The SBNation AL MVP vote
I've been remiss in not posting the SBNation award balloting stuff in connection with the awards. But I wanted to be sure and link BTB's post on the AL MVP that includes the SBNation ballot results.
The SBNation A.L. bloggers had Dustin Pedroia as the runaway winner, with Mauer, Sizemore, Youkilis, and ARod clumped together as 2-3-4-5. Weirdly, 5 people had Sizemore at #1 (the same as had Pedroia), but 5 people left him off altogether.
My ballot:
- Grady Sizemore
- Dustin Pedroia
- Alex Rodriguez
- Cliff Lee
- Joe Mauer
- Josh Hamilton
- Carlos Quentin
- Curtis Granderson
- Kevin Youkilis
- Ian Kinsler
For those who are interested, I went Lee/Halladay/Mussina on Cy Young, and Longoria/Aviles/Davis on ROY.

Why Granderson so high?
"My mother always taught me that if the only thing you have to say is,
‘(Expletive) Dave Samson,’ then don’t say anything at all.
So I’m not going to say anything at all.
Is my mother the greatest or what?"

Probably a mistake on my part
He was 15th in VORP, but within a 12-15 runs of the guys in the 7-8-9 range, and I figured his defense was good enough to make up the difference.
But in looking at the numbers, his +/- this year was awful. Haven’t seen the PMR for CF’ers yet, though.
