Most Valuable P's

By: Guido

There were many fine choices for mvp in each league this season. Pujols was consistant the whole season even though the Cards finished fourth in the NL central. The only argument I can make for the NL mvp would be Ryan Howard and this is because Howard lead his team to a World Series title. But let us not forget Derrek Lee in 2005. Lee had the best statistical season a baseball player could have. Lee set career highs in almost every stat and contended for the triple crown for most of the season. When Pujols won the mvp that season over Lee, the sports media claimed it was because the Cubs finished fourth and the Cards finished first.

Dustin Pedroia won the AL mvp today. Pedroia beat out Justin Morneau and Joe Mauer, both of the Twins. Pedroia is a hard-nosed player and went under the radar in most markets. I'm fine with the selection in the AL.

In the end, we should all thank our lucky stars that the AL MVP wasn't from the Yankees or those bastard Tampa Bay Rays.

2009 AL MVP: Josh Hamilton
2009 NL MVP: Geovany Soto
