Mauer beats Teixeira, Jeter for AL MVP

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:19:55 +0000

As expected, Joe Mauer captured AL MVP honors today in a lopsided vote, collecting 27 of the 28 first-place votes. I thought it would be unanimous, but one voter decided Mauer was worthy of a second-place vote. His first place vote went to … Mark Teixeira? Derek Jeter? No. It went to Miguel Cabrera. Miguel Cabrera? The Tigers slugger had a solid season, but after hitting .345 through August 25, he batted .259 over the final 38 games of the season as the Tigers watched their commanding lead over Mauer’s Twins fall apart. Throw in the fact that he was arrested in a domestic violence incident during the final weekend of the season - again, while his team was coughing up its playoff spot - should have been enough to knock him down a spot or two on the ballot. Keizo Konishi, a reporter for Kyodo News in Seattle, voted Cabrera first and Mauer second. Perhaps we’ll find out what made him vote that way, perhaps we won’t. Either way, it’s a strange, strange vote. Mark ...

Jeter, Teixeira battling for second place

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:54:22 +0000

Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira had brilliant seasons in 2009, but when the American League MVP award is announced later this afternoon, they’ll be fighting it out for second place. That’s because Joe Mauer of the Twins should be a runaway winner - possibly a unanimous one - after posting a tremendous season of his own. Despite missing the first month of the season, Mauer led the league with a .365 average, .444 on-base percentage and .587 slugging percentage, adding 28 home runs, 96 RBI, 30 doubles, 191 hits and Gold Glove defense behind the plate to his impressive campaign. I was one of the guys touting Teixeira for the MVP award in mid-August, not because I didn’t believe Mauer was worthy of the honor, but because the Twins were 56-62 and 6 ½ games out of first place in a weak division. At the time, I said Mauer would only capture the award if he helped turn his team around and got the Twins into the playoff race. Well, the Twins were 70-72 on Sept. 12, still 5 ½ games ...
