You do make a compelling argument.

Interesting choice. I think the voters voted for Morneau because of the power numbers.
- GonzoStyle - 11-22-2006
fuckin writers are haters!
- The Prodigal Son - 11-22-2006
If I read it correctly, Jeter had the best BA with runners in scoring position in baseball.

I think you might be on to something there.

his power numbers weren't that good, he just had 130 rbis. his homers and and ops were good but weren't great compared to other dh/first baseman

Morneau's stats

Jeter's stats

2006 154 623 118 214 39 3 14 97 301 69 102 34 5 .417 .483 .343
This dosen't include the RISP I mentioned earlier. Personaly, Jeter should have won. But the voters probably went for the power numbers. I do agree with you about the comparison with other DH/1B, but most of the time, they go for the power guy over the better hitter.

jeter hates jews, thats why they picked morneau
- Arpikarhu - 11-22-2006
fucking morneau wasnt even the mvp of his team! mauer finished behind thomas?!?! thomas was a dh and not even the best one in the league! fucking disgrace!
- Galt - 11-22-2006
Marcus Thames could have won for all I care. As long as it wasn't Jeter.

A regular season MVP Award would have been too much for the haters to bare.
- The Prodigal Son - 11-22-2006
It really is a joke. Ortiz didn't get any 1st place votes. That's just retarded.
- Keyser Soze - 11-22-2006
give back the gold glove and we'll discuss it
- Next Best Thing - 11-22-2006
The gold glove is a triviality , MVP is the Holy Grail of individual accomplishments.
- Keyser Soze - 11-22-2006
its the principle
- Next Best Thing - 11-22-2006
They give Gold Gloves away. The MVP Award is supposed to mean something.
- HedCold - 11-22-2006
if they're going to take back jeters gold glove they should take back bernie williams' too
- Keyser Soze - 11-22-2006
its voted on by journalists who pick players arbitrarily with bias against people or teams for whatever reasons. its, in a sense a popularity contest, to a degree. theres no real definied requirements to choose the winner, so the whole thing is created to stir up the very debate we're having now.
- Next Best Thing - 11-22-2006
If Bernie gives back a couple of those bogus Gold Gloves, does Jeter get the MVP he earned this year?
- Keyser Soze - 11-22-2006
fine with me, whats right is right
