PaperAirplane31 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 thats utter bullcrap that morneau won! :cursingDerek Jeter was robbed! Derek Jeter, David Ortiz, Jermaine Dye, and possibly Johan Santana desrved it more than MorneauUh...no they didn't apparently. Please shut the up.I obviously wanted Jeter to win, but anyone who wasn't playing in a Boston uniform is fine with me. Morneau really did deserve it more and it does feel kind of good to see the small team get their due.Congratulations to Justin Morneau . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 If I had to pick a Twin to win it, I would have probably picked Mauer. Morneau isn't a bad choice, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucskick20 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 MLB.com: Morneau wins AL MVP Certainly a dark horse coming away with the win here. All the buzz was with Ortiz and Jeter. Perhaps some vote-splitting between those two?You mean like vote splitting between Morneau and #6 voted Mauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 As a Twins fan I think this is pretty cool. It's pretty rare that a team has Cy Young, batting champ and MVP in the same season. That said, I'd have voted for Jeter. I think he's the MVP every year. But this was a tight race. Three or four deserving guys. Morneau was definately the "Post June 7 MVP."

gosioux76 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 The more I think about this, Morneu getting the MVP could do more harm to the Twins than help. He's up for salary arbitration and a big payday. But the Twins historically have been reluctant to pay out big-time salaries. I can't see how they wouldn't in this case, but it could hamper their efforts at throwing money at their other weaknesses. To me, that's starting pitching, especially with Radke done and Liriano out for a year. Still, I'm glad he won it. You just never think of the money part of it all when the news first hits.

ProvidenceRI Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 In my opinion, Ortiz was the clear MVP this season. Without him, the Red Sox would have been well below .500.Though, I probably would have voted for Morneau just to give a smaller market team some credit.
