... most valuable player on their roster. That certainly looks like a strong possibility , since Dustin Pedroia's remarkable season coupled with a darth of traditional MVP candidates in the AL has opened up the possibility. The announcement of the winner is expected at about 2 p.m. today. To show how difficult winning a MVP award can be, here's a partial list of players who haven't ever won it: -- Manny Ramirez ( top finish: 3rd place, 1999 and 2004 ) -- David Ortiz ( top finish: 2nd place, 2005 ) -- Nomar Garciaparra ( top finish: 2nd place, 1998 ) -- ...

... pitched 3.1 innings in relief for the Twins, giving up one hit, walking two, and striking out none; he finished the season with a career high 6.49 ERA in 86 innings pitched. Ortiz , hardly an O's nemesis at the time, collected two hits in five at-bats and finished the season batting .282 with 10 home runs and 63 RBIs. The O's were still losing back then, as their 63-75 record attests, but the team hadn't yet started its tradition of late summer swoons; the Birds won 8 of their final 10 games to close out the 2000 season.

... in eight straight seasons . His jump between 2003 and 2004 was the closest call, as Ortiz went from 44 percent better than league average to 45 percent; last year he was actually 10 percent better than he was in 2006 despite hitting 19 fewer homers, as a result of a surge in doubles (29 to 52) and big spike in batting average (.287 to .332). Ortiz's streak will likely end this season, unless he goes absolutely berserk over the season's last two-plus months—which given Big Papi's history in the Hub cannot be entirely ruled out. In his six seasons with Boston, Ortiz now has a ...

The Twins did what any team starved for hitting would do and released Ortiz that December. The Boston Red Sox snatched him up and he’s been one of the best hitters of our generation ever since. ...

How good is Dustin Pedrioia?

... ? In September, he is the odds on favorite to win the American League Rookie of the Year. The lesson? Patience, sometimes is a virtue. Unless, of course, you are talking about J.D. Drew, which is subject for next week. Pedroia s success with the bat might be as important as any production on the team. While he doesn t put up the production numbers of a power guy, he has made up for Julio Lugo , at least for a few months there in the middle. Pedroia shows a few characteristics that might put him in the, ahem, special cateory: 1. He was able to mentally overcome a pathetic April. 2. He can hit pitches thrown anywhere high, low, outside and inside. He s out of the Nomar Garciaparra, free-swinging mode, which is a good thing around so many walkers. 3. He is clutch. And this is both offensively and defensively. Be honest, among the top three guys you want at the plate with the game on the line, he would be there with David Ortiz ...
