Cafe AL MVP voting thread!

[thetongueofire]

the MVP will be announced tom. let's see who the cafe's choice is.

btw those are also my rankings btw. but the top 3 are clumped very closely together.

VOTE OR DIE!

[ensanimal]

since i don't feel like dying, i had to go with vlad. he was most valuable, if you ask me. without him, angels don't make the playoffs, and probably don't even contend.

Manny

[thetongueofire]

yea i had an extremely hard time deciding between Manny and Vlad but eventually had to go with Guerrero.

[Cornbread Maxwell]

call me crazy, but I dont think BOS would be the world chumps without Big Papi - therefore he gets my vote.

[raiders_umpire]

i voted for big papi as well......dont see the red sox in the playoffs without him......but i think vlad will win by a real close margin as manny and big papi will cancel each other out a little bit.....

[Transmogrifier]

I say Manny. He carried that team through a lot of injuries. I think Vlad will win it, though, for his final week or two of the season. I don't think he should, though... the numbers just aren't there.

[Madison]

I say Manny. I think Vlad will win it, I don't think he should, though... the numbers just aren't there.

They aren't?

Vlad: .337-39-126 with 124 runs and 15 steals.

Manny: .308-43-130 with 108 runs and 2 steals.

Hmm.....


I went with Vlad.

[Mookie4ever]

I said Tejada.

.311 - 34 - 150 RBI - 107 Runs - 4 SB and all with no protection in the lineup.

Too bad the Orioles did nothing or else he would be a shoe-in. He's going to be like A-Rod with the Rangers - he will put up tons of numbers on a terrible team until they have to give him the MVP one year out of pity.

[thetongueofire]

this is one of the problems. why are we looking at runs and rbi's before anything else?
