Mauer Wins AL MVP

In probably the least surprising vote of all-time, Joe Mauer of the Minnesota Twins has won the MVP award.

That's not why I'm posting. If you head over to www.bbwaa.com, they have the full breakdown of every player who earned a vote.

You see, the writers who vote on the AL MVP have to rank their top 10, with 10 points going to a first place vote, nine for a second, and so on. That's fine, and it creates an interesting list of players receiving votes who probably don't deserve any real mention of MVP (I'm looking your way Placido Polanco).

Anyhow, it's always fun to look at the complete list, so head over to the link and check it out.

Tomorrow: The Albert Pujols Award for Excellence, errrrr, I mean the NL MVP will be awarded to Albert Pujols. If it goes to anyone else, consider it the upset of the century.
