Also posted on BLB...
I didn't realise that the Hank Aaron award became a fan vote award. wasn't it supposed to be based on points for RBIs, HRs and AVG?
I think its a farce. Jeter deserves MVP, but he's not the best offensive player in the AL. Far from it. And it detracts from the argument that the MVP award is not for the best RBI and HR guy becasue there already is an award for that. Seems there in fact isn't.
I don't see the point of these fan awards. They're like the MTV movie awards, but at least MTV doesn't take itself seriously.

It's essentially an award for the best slugger in each league. Not Jeter's forte. Now I've gone on record several times saying how much I respect Jeter and how he is a great player. But he really didn't deserve to win this.

I would have given it to either Papi or Mourneau (I voted for the latter).

I'm gonna predict Jeter will win the MVP award today.
Morneau will come a very close 2nd, Dye 3rd.

Holy hardware batman, Morneau FTW!
I have no problem denying the Yankees wunderkind, but I wonder what put voters in favor of Morneau?

Jeter was robbed.
The 2 MVP winners earned a combined $0.7 million in salary.
