It Was Not a Surprise

11
Vote

A few months ago, I wrote an article that discussed how it is virtually impossible for a player who is not a slugger to win the MVP award.

Unfortunately, the article was on target.

Take a look at the article.

I think Morneau benefitted from what so many people benefit from in MVP and Cy Young voting - a strong finish. After May, Morneau was phenomenal, even though his power numbers dropped a bit after the All-Star break. Personally, I think Mauer was the most valuable player on that team. He's a very good defensive catcher, and he was more consistent than Morneau this season. You're right in that Morneau won for being a slugger. But, I want to call another thing to everyone's attention.


The first two months of the season, Morneau batted .244. After May, he collected 24 of his 34 homeruns. During those same months, Mauer batted .359. He hit a staggering .452 in the month of June. He was more consistent than Morneau, and should have been rewarded for such.
