Sun, 29 Nov 2009 14:20:26 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=15404#comment-698853 Derek Jeter deserves the MVP Award simply because he is the most valuable player any team could have because of the way he unselfishly produces positive results for his team and the way he effects his team mates attitudes in a positive way. His stats are better than decent but not the main reason why he should have been voted as the MVP. Anyone who disagrees with this probaly thinks that stats alone should be the determining factor on how good a player is which in my opinion is wrong.

But shouldn't Greinke be in the conversations? He's 1st in the league in ERA, 2nd in Ks, 5th in IP, has just as many complete games as Halladay (5), and has ten wins despite pitching for the worst team (dead last offensively) in the league. It's pretty clear that if he played for a team with a semblance of offense and a real bullpen, or even one of those, he would be set up for a 20 win season. In fact looking at those numbers shouldn't Greinke be considered the run-away favorite for the AL Cy-Young?

Because the baseball writers have been writing countless stories about how A-Rod changed the whole team when he came back. They say that the Yankees were a .500 team without them and he put them over the top. I don't agree, but that seems to be the storyline of the year. I don’t think he has a shot.

He got robbed in 1999 when a juiced Ivan Rodriguez won. Then he lost to 2006 to Justin Morneau who had no business winning either. Jeter should have already won MVP twice.
