While it's nice to see a fellow Canadian win the award, I have to say that I think Morneau was a horrible choice. Twelfth in the league in homers, seventh in BA, and second in RBI - not bad, but not MVP-worthy against Mauer and Jeter. I don't even think Morneau is the most valuable guy on his own team - Mauer and Santana are both more important.
Jeter and Mauer both had higher averages and OBP (Mauer was 50 points higher), and both play much more valuable defensive positions. One guy voted Jeter sixth, and five guys didn't even rank Mauer on their ballots. To me, that's just plain stupid.
Anyway, that's just my opinion - what do you guys think?
