The odds of the AL MVP coming from the American League are looking pretty good.

2005: .292
2004: .308
2003: .325
2002: .349
2001: .306
2000: .351
1999: .333
1998: .294
So what leads you to believe Manny is no better than a .285-.290 hitter now? Even if Manny is in decline, he'll likely hit higher than he did last year, and I'd venture to guess around .310. I don't forsee a situation in which Ortiz tops last year. I see him regressing, while Manny bounces back from a down year.
Ramirez over Ortiz, and position scarcity has little to do with it.
