NL/AL MVP. Who should have been MVP?
919503
i think that Morneau should stay MVP.\n\nAs for the NL, Ryan Howard is a great player, we all know that. But Pujols deserved it more.\n\nRyan Howard may have hit more RBI, and HR than Pujols but him team didn't even make it to the playoffs. Pujols carried his whole team into the playoffs, and into the world series... and won it! Because of him (Pujols) the Cards won the world series. So i have no idea how or why Howard became MVP.\n\nMorneau is a great choice because he's from an underground team, and he is an underground player. If you look at other teams their saying "Who the hell is Morneau?"\n\nHe's the first twin in over a decade to hit 30+ HR, he helped the Twins from 12 under the .500 to about 30 games over. He plays first base (not DH). Look at him now! He's a somebody. Around him he doesn't have much great hitters. All he has is Mauer, Torri, and Luis Castillo (an All Star) without Morneau the Twins are nothing.\n\nWithout Jeter, the Yankees still have A-Rod, Damon, Canoe, Abreau, Giambi, 26 Rings, and alot more.

C'mon. Can we tame the excitement just a hair. I like Alay too, I'm originally from Cuba. But the guy is 2-1 in 6 Starts. Please chill. Prince Fielder ( .298 BA 14 HR 40 RBI 35 R 5 SB) is out there in the NL. Hanley Ramirez (.262 BA 3 HR 20 RBI 53 R 20 SB). Ryan Zimmerman (.274 BA 10 HR 46 RBI 37 R 5 SB) Dan Uggla .313 BA 13 HR 43 RBI 49 R 4 SB). Plus they've all been starters on their teams since opening day. All or any of these guys are far more deserving of the NL Rookie of the Year.

It's a bit early to tell, but I would say:\n\nNL\nMVP -  Albert Pujols\nCy Young - Tom Glavine\nROY - Prince Fielder\nManager - Willie Randolph\n\nAL\nMVP - Jonathan Papelbon (Maybe they won't give it to a relief pitcher, so then I would say Jim Thome)\nCy Young - Jonathan Papelbon\nROY - Justin Verlander\nManager - Jim Leyland

Has to be Sandy Koufax.  0.95 ERA in four World Series!

Ahh yup. That would be Prince Jeter.\nYou kidding me, with those sparkling pearly whites and that twinkle in his eye, he gets the award.  A-Rod may seem like he is but if you pay attention you'll see that Jeter has more like taken him under his wing in developing his professional sports pesona....so that would make A-Rod more like a Jr. Prima Dona.

All time hits king. He deserves to be there,and it's a damn shame that hes not. People make mistakes. If Darryl Strawberry gets a million chances for snorting cocaine over and over again. Pete Rose,one of the greatest hitters ever,deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Bud Selig is an idiot!!!! I am pissed off now that I have to think hes not in the Hall of Fame.

Well, in the NL (and if he can recover from his recent injury) Albert Pujols is definitely the MVP favorite.  No one else even comes remotely close, except for maybe Derrek Lee of Chicago, but his broken wrist earlier this year really makes it difficult for him to put up MVP numbers.  One player to watch out for is Alfonso Soriano.  He's been putting up huge numbers for the Nats so far, despite his bad attitude in the offseason.\n\nIt's a tougher situation in the AL, where Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz probably lead the pack at this point, although cases could be made for Jim Thome, the rookie Joe Mauer in Minnesota, or the Jays' Troy Glaus.  I'll go out on a limb and take Glaus for the AL MVP.\n\nNow the World Series is an entirely different matter.  Just making it to the playoffs is hard, especially with all of the quality teams out there.  In the AL, I'd say that Oakland, the White Sox, and the Yankees will win their respective divisions with Toronto making it as a wild card.  I know all of the BoSox fans won't like it, but they'll be in the race down to the last week of the season.  I'm really hoping that Toronto comes out of nowhere to take the division crown because I get really sick of hearing about the New York-Boston rivalry, but I think the Yankees will turn up their game against the teams in their division.\n\nIn the NL, it's a little easier.  St. Louis hasn't exactly run off with their division, with the Reds right behind them, but they've got the depth to make it to the playoffs and probably the Series again, especially if they find a way to get rid of that no-talent hack Isringhausen.  Atlanta's sinking fast, but I find it difficult to think that the Mets won't roll over after the break.  And it's still a slugfest in the West, but the Dodgers have the offense and solid pitching to outlast everyone else.  So I'll take the Cards, the Dodgers, and (why not?) the Mets to win take their divisions with Houston riding the Rocket's arm to the wild card.\n\nAnd here's another gamble:  Toronto and St. Louis face off in the Series, with Pujols guiding the Cardinals to a hard-won victory in 6.

Red Sox vs. Mets \n\nRed Sox in 6 with Ortiz as the MVP

I think David Ortiz will get that honor. Just look at the AL East's pitching staff. Nobody really stands out except Holliday and R.Johnson, and Ortiz doesn't have to face Schilling.

How can I pick just one? Big Papi would be the first to come to mind - along with Varitek. Wily Mo is my favorite new addition. I followed him in Cincinnati and I think he'll be a major contributor in the near future. Since he's been in the Sox lineup I think his plate discipline had improved dramatically.

As a Red Sox fan I thought that Ortiz landed right where he belonged.  I understand the writers still have bias toward the power numbers, but I felt that Jeter should have been the MVP.  I feel that Jeter had the best year out of all AL players.  I thought the person that got the most screwed was Mourneau's teammate, Joe Mauer.  I thought he should have come in 2nd, Papi 3rd and Mourneau 4th.

Albert will get his mvp award on nov. 20th . I'll give Howard his just rewards for being a homerun hitter but the facts are , Pujols is a better all around hitter . A better fielder, a better base runner and now a world champion. He also missed 24 games with an injury this year and still hit his share of homers. The mvp goes to the most valuable player , not just the best homerun hitter.
