Joe Mauer AL MVP ! http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20091115&content_id=7669440&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb 11/23/2009 |
Al's Ramblings — To the surprise of no one, Joe Mauer wins AL MVP. The writers are being very reasonable this year. And the selection of Mauer over Prior and Teixeira which was criticised at the time as being a "signability" pick is looking better and better for the Twins. He's a guy that you lock up since it's virtually impossible to replace a catcher like him. ...
Joe Mauer wins the 2009 American League MVP.
Yankees Chick —
Mauer wins MVP in a landslide 27 out of 28 first place votes.....I think that's pretty definitive. Mark Teixeira came in 2nd place, Derek Jeter came in 3rd place and Miguel Cabrera came in 4th, getting the other first place vote. Which makes no sense. I could see giving Mark or Derek a first place vote.....but the guy in 4th? ...

Joe Mauer Named AL MVP
Almost unanimous -- 27 of the 28 first-place votes. Miguel Cabrera got the other one and finished 4th. Mark Telxeira and Derek Jeter finished 2nd and 3rd.
Mauer Wins MVP, Teixeira Finishes Ahead Of Jeter
Baseball & The Boogie Down —
The AL MVP was announced today and the winner was rightfully, Joe Mauer. I have no qualms whatsoever with his selection. Mauer was without a doubt the best player in the American League. The only beef I have with his selection is that it wasn't unanimous. How anyone voted Miguel Cabrera first is beyond me? There's always one stupid writer that messes up every vote. But that's for another entry. I was more interested in seeing who finished higher in the voting, Mark Teixeira or Derek Jeter? Teixeira finished 2nd with 225 points and Jeter finished 3rd with 193 points. Like with ...

Mauer Wins MVP, Tex and Jeter Finish 2nd and 3rd
Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog —
Like everyone pretty much expected, Joe Mauer was named AL MVP today. Mauer clearly had the best year out of anyone in the the league, finishing the year hitting .365/.444/.587 with 28 HR and 96 RBI. He nearly won a unanimous vote, taking 27 of 28 first-place votes and finishing with 387 point. ...
Cabrera finishes fourth in MVP vote, picks up one first-place nod
Detroit Tigers blog —
As expected, Twins catcher Joe Mauer was named American League Most Valuable Player on Monday.
Unexpectedly, Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera picked up one first-place vote en route to finishing fourth on the ballot behind Yankees Mark Teixeira and Derek Jeter.
Also unexpectedly, the vote for Cabrera didn't come from Detroit, but rather the Seattle chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America. It came from Keizo Konishi of the Kyodo (Japan) News. Should be interesting to see if he writes the reason he went that direction.
Cabrera obviously had a good season. He finished as the ...

Joe Mauer Wins AL MVP While 17 Voters Forget Who Ben Zobrist Is
The Sporting Blog —
... Joe Mauer started his season on the DL and ended it as the American League Most Valuable Player. There really was no other choice, as Mauer got 27 of the 28 first-place votes. It seems one of the BWAA members must be related to Miguel Cabrera, as that's the only way you can make a case that Cabrera should get the other first-place vote. ...
Derek Jeter totally screwed out of AL MVP award
Stupid Sports Blog —
It's reached the point where the lack of respect shown for Derek Jeter by baseball writers has grown out of control and must be discussed. How can God's Gift to Baseball lose out on the American League MVP award to Twins catcher Joe Mauer? How? How?!?! How I say?!?! Derek Jeter was the best offensive player in the American League, as some obviously intelligent fans got together and voted him the Hank Aaron Award winner. Derek Jeter was clearly the best defensive shortstop in the American League, and was rightly rewarded by the baseball writers with a Gold Glove Award. So he was obviously the best hitter in the league and obviously the ...

Where's the outrage?
So many sportswriters got their panties in a bunch over Keith Law leaving Carpenter off his ballot, what about Ben Zobrist on the MVP ballot? I'm glad Joe Mauer won and would have voted for him, but Zobrist was clearly the second best position player in baseball this year, yet he was left off 17 ballots and his highest vote was 6th. The top three ...
Mauer = MVP
Over the Monster —
... Ladies and gentlemen, your BWAA Most Valuable Player is Joe Mauer. With all the wealth and recognition from this award, he should be able to finally buy some consonants for his last name (or at least donate the surplus ones to Eastern Europe). The BWAA deserves props for making the right choice, as Mauer is clearly the best player in the American league, and, by extension, in the game. His .365 / .444 / .587 line led the league in AVG, OBP, and SLG, and he suddenly became a huge power hitter, clobbering 28 homers (previous high was 13 ...

Eye Opener – 24 November 2009
The Phoenix Pub —
It’s Thanksgiving week, obviously, and I thought I’d express my thanks this morning to a few people. So, without further ado, my list of people I’d like to give thanks for in 2009.
Miranda Kerr – I’d like to give thanks that she’s not ashamed of what God gave her.
Eric Mangini – I’d like to give thanks that there’s a coach out there who can unite an entire fanbase in abject hatred.
The KSK staff – I’d like to give thanks for making me laugh, often, in a world that doesn’t make me laugh much anymore.
Kornheiser and Wilbon – I’d like to give thanks ...
Another Award the Voters Got Right
Major League Jerk —
Joe Mauer won the MVP yesterday in a near unanimous decision which is good because if he hadn’t won, then the rest of the world would have felt my fury. Or something.
It’s almost bothersome that the voters have come around and are making good decisions lately. It’s gotten to the point where there’s very little to criticize anything besides secondary votes which would be totally lame…except I’m going to do it anyway.
Who the fuck gave Miguel Cabrera a first place vote? That’s an insult to logic, reason, intuition, goal setting, life planning, basket weaving and MVP award voting. Is Miggie good? Sure is. ...
Awards put a bow on 2009
11th and Washington —
MLB's awards season wrapped up today in fitting fashion with Albert Pujols' unanimous selection as NL MVP, making him just the 10th player in history to win the award three times. As if he needed this to make his case, it essentially secures his place in Cooperstown since every three-time winner who is eligible has been enshrined. But now that the awards are out, the 2009 season is complete. Yankee fans can continue shopping for Christmas, but the rest of us can put a bow on '09 and stash it on the shelf -- or bury it in the backyard for us Mets fans. Before we turn our focus completely to 2010 with free agency fully open and the Winter Meetings in a couple ...
BOSTON GLOBE’S ABRAHAM SLAMS MIGUEL CABRERA
BigLeagueScrew —
Peter Abraham was one of the best “team bloggers” around when he wrote about the Yankees for LoHud. Then he was poached by the Boston Globe in September to write about the Sox. Word is that Abraham has always been a Sox fan — even when he covered the Yankees.
Abraham has been at it for over two months and apparently he was a huge proponent of the “Adrian Gonzalez to the Sox” rumors. He loves Gonzo so much that he went out of his way to bash Miguel Cabrera. In the piece, he says Cabrera is “not MVP-worthy” and “not quite Adrian Gonzalez.” It’s part of his effort to convince Sox fans that ...
