November 21, 200619 yr Deserving... I guess. Jeter got hosed. :madman: Justin Morneau 15 1st place votes to Jeter's 12 1st place votes. Very close. Congrats to Justin.
November 21, 200619 yr Very deserving, and so was Jeter. I wonder if the voters haven't been O.J.'d? You know,,,Over Jetered!

November 21, 200619 yr A Thanksgiving with a Yankee fans whining. Another thing to be thankful for. Any time the evil empire does not win something is a good time.

November 21, 200619 yr Morneau had an excellent year and not nearly the media coverage, that is often shine down on the Big Apple. Very deserving, either could have and great to see, an award like this given on merits and not name.
November 21, 200619 yr Congrats to Morneau, but it seems to me the anti-Yankee bias played a factor here from the writers.
November 21, 200619 yr I said once the MVP race debate began that Justin Morneau deserved it. Derek Jeter has put up these stats forever. JM was the leader of the team in front of Joe Mauer. When it came crunch time JM delivered and carried the Twins in the playoffs. The right guy won!
November 21, 200619 yr That was my guess for the AL MVPI thought you picked Mark Teixeira, in early April. I picked A-Rod but that sure went south.
November 21, 200619 yr The most deserving player got the nod, in my opinion. While I don't support the Yankees as an organization, I certainly don't harbor any grudges against their individual players; I just think Morneau's numbers justified the award.
November 21, 200619 yr Congrats to Morneau. The award could have gone to Morneau or Jeter as both had great years. Good to see a fresh face in the crowd every now and then, it makes for great competition. I picked Jeter to win and as usual I was wrong.
November 21, 200619 yr What a joke... Runs: Jeter Hits: Jeter Doubles: Jeter Triples: Jeter HR's: Morneau RBI's: Morneau Total Bases: Morneau Walks: Jeter Strike Outs: Morneau Stolen Bases: Jeter OBP: Jeter Slugging: Morneau Batting Average: Jeter You lead in HR's and you pretty much cover RBI's, total bases and slugging. It's not the Silver Slugger award... I forgot to mention that he won the Gold Glove award at the most scrutinized position in all of sports...
