Absolutely. Alex is having a MVP year. His numbers indicate that he'll probably finish with over 50 HR's and probably over 130 RBI's.
If the Yankees take the Division it would be hard to overlook Torre for Manager of the Year especially after the horrible start they had.

A-Rod has to be the front runner for MVP at this time But Torre will be way down in the voting for manager of the year even if the Yankees go on to win the world series. The Yankees are expected to win and there are several other teams, such as Eric Wedge, Cleveland and Jim Leland, Detroit, that might be more deserving.

The current brain trust band wagon of the writers is that a Yankee can't be MVP because the team is too good. (These guys get PAID? Can you imagine?) So, no to A-Rod. He might very well deserve it at the end of the year, and he is the only one so far in recent history to break the streak and actually win it, but the odds are way against him.
As for Joe Torre, as others have pointed out, he has always had horses in NY, so, no. He is perhaps the most over-rated manager in history anyway. His talent is keeping his high-profile stars playing, but Terry Francona out-managed him to the point of humiliation in the playoffs in Boston's year, and since Steinbrenner hasn't heard about the importance of pitching yet Torre will probably lose in the playoffs anyway.

As of now, A-Rod is the MVP. If the Yankees come back and take the east division then Torre will have to get strong consideration for manager of the year.

Yes, A-Rod is a great MVP candidate. I predict he will win it. And as much as I'd like to see Torre win the manager of the year when my Yankees make a comeback, I'm going to say that no he probably won't.

in the beginning, i'm a crimson Sox fan. I even have seen some video games the place judgements he's made i presumed had a damaging effect on the sport, and that exceeded off approximately 4 cases. the guy's controlled what a million,a hundred-something wins and four WS and 13 placed up Seasons with the Yankees. They (Steinbrenner & Sons or Cashman) are actual retarded to allow him bypass. Who the heck do they think of they're going to replace him with? Mattingly? Mattingly replaced right into a 1B, All-famous individual. good Managers (of the widely used a Yankee supervisor could choose for to be) are the two Catchers or Pitchers, no longer First Basemen. I mean his first 3 hundred and sixty 5 days there he controlled a be conscious series win... yet another ingredient as quickly as we had that knuclkehead Dan Duquette he spent lots time blaming different individuals ... after a on a similar time as there replaced into no person left to blame. the comparable ingredient will take place to Cashman (who appears like a common long island city sleaze bag in any case). back, as a crimson Sox fan, that is super information. i'm hoping Torre is going to Texas, he can artwork some magic with them. he's a chic guy and he will have a great destiny. Yank followers get waiting for us to take many extra branch Pennants now which you have have been given merely permit the main experienced and argueably the final supervisor in baseball walk out the door.

A-Rod will probably win MVP either way.
Torre doesn't deserve **** with what he did this year. Vizcaino doesn't belong on the Yankees MLB team. He should be in the minors and Chris Britton should be in the MLB. Torre is a good manager but he was horrible this year.

stats aren't the only thing considered in the mvp race, it is also how valuable that person is to the team, at this time it should be vladimir guerrero because if u take him away from the angels, they would be nothin, if u take a-rod away from the yankees, they would still suck

It is a little early to talk MVP, but right now, he's killin the competiton.
Torre, hard to say, but I believe the org. goes in a different direction next season, unless, they win it all.
