I don't care what his stats were. The only reason he won is that the Yankee haters couldn't bring themselves to give another award to a Yankee. I'd prefer to give the MVP to a player who led his team to 103 wins and the best record in baseball then give it to a player whose team was barely even in the playoff hunt until 2 weeks to go in the season when the team in front of them collapsed. Would Mauer be the MVP if Detroit had won the division? Not a chance. The American League MVP was Derek Jeter. If Jeter played for Boston he would have won it going away.

ugh, I had almost forgotten how I used to cringe when I’d see Pete’s name in the comments section.

He seems like a very bitter and spiteful man.

Mo? Mo is one of the classiest players ever to step on a field. When he retires, I will just bet that he will be accorded accolades from all over the game - not just because he's so superb, but because the guy wins the right way (respectful). He looks so innocent, Mo does, but inside lurks an iron will and as competitive a spirit as baseball has ever seen. Goose is not quite as bitter as Jim Rice, but he's up there. By the way, Rollie Fingers was #2 on the list. It is sad, Bodh – and of all guys to denigrate. Mo? Mo is one of the classiest players ever to step on a field.

I like Gossage, I think he’s a good guy – but he’s too bitter about his place in history vis a vis Mo ===== I have no more patience with Goose. It's one thing to make a distinction between eras and even try to qualify success, but his taking every opportunity to discredit Rivera's successes - it's frankly embarrassing. If anyone can claim unqualified success - it's Mariano Rivera. But of course, Rivera, unlike Gossage, never makes claims, he just gets outs. Even making the Hall couldn't salve Gossage. Pathetic.

What amazes me about him is that he hits more HRs in the post-season (against better pitchers) than he does in the regular season. Jeter is #4 on the list of best clutch hitters.

The Marlins can not resign him, and he is the next best pitcher (in terms of age + stuff) next to King Felix (I think he is better that Doc cause he is 9 years younger)?? I heard the Marlins are looking for a catcher, so would you do, Joba+Montero+another prospect for him? What about Josh Johnson?
