AL MVP--Big Papi or ARod

[POJO_Risin]

Who deserves it more?

[lesfunk]

I like Ortiz, But A rod plays 3rd base as well as hitting 47 Hr's and The Yankees will most likely take the division and It's good for the MVP to be a winner.

[guitarboy5150]

def AROD...his team has had some major struggles this year with pitching and fielding and he has been part of the major contribution that has gotten this team to where it is now

[Warham]

Big Papi, even though he's a DH. I hate the DH rule. I despise it.

But nobody has more big hits than Ortiz has had the last three years.

He deserves recognition.

[Carmine]

A-ROD!



Period....




plus I'm baised....




...and I hate the Red Sox

[ALinChainz]

A-Rod.

The bat and the glove.

[POJO_Risin]

Is ARod more important than?

1. Rivera?...who's the one consistent on the staff...and...has been DOMINANT!

or...

2. Papi...who's offensive numbers are similar...but has won so many fucking games with his swing?

Its A-Rods all around abilities. The glove, the bat, the leadership.

and those contributions come every inning, of every game.

Mo and Ortiz had GREAT years...but A-Rod deserves this one.

I don't know...I ask myself this question whenever there's a debate...

who could the Yanks have replaced easier...

and as good as ARod is...

if Rivera isn't at the top of his game...the Yanks are a 2nd division team...

If ARod isn't on the team...Torre changes the way they play...and they more than likely are still in the hunt...

I am not downplaying ARod...and pitchers generally shouldn't win the MVP...but Rivera IMO...kept the Yanks from being average...

All true Poj...but...it was A-Rod, more times than I can count, who GAVE Mo the opportunity to pitch with one crack of the lumber or a great stab on the corner.

I'm not bias, I hate both of the fuckers....

But you can't deny Arod, among the top 3 offensive players in the game, and absolutely no slouch at 3rd base either...

Fuck Ortiz, and while you're at it, fuck all DH's.... ;)

[PenguinsKID1986]

Big Papi, Dave Ortiz is MVP and the SOX will win the AL East! Gold Glove is for fielding not MVP. I don't care for DH either but it's there and it's a postion?. O.K. does Edger Martinez go the the HOF? look at his numbers not his postion, just like Big Papi

[Va Beach VH Fan]

So you're saying MVP is solely an offensive award ??

Hitters have the Silver Slugger as well...

It's not Most Valuable Hitter, it's Most Valuable Player....

[ALinChainz]

Big Papi has 3 walk off hits this season.

He's good, but he's a bat.

Rivera maybe for A.L. Cy Young, never liked the MVP going to pitchers.

[ALinChainz]

That being said, on the game on ESPN, after 160,000 + votes at their site, the same question:

Papi - 58%

A-Rod - 42%

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Of course, what'd you expect on YRPN (Yankees-Redsox Programming Network).....

[frets5150]

Papi

[Bob_R]

A Rod deserves the MVP he plays defense as well.

Ortiz is only a DH.

Rivera should win the Cy Young.

[Dave's PA Rental]

The award is not "Guy With The Best Statistics", its the Most Valuable Player To His Team...

Not only is A-Rod not the MVP of the league, he isnt the MVP of his team...without Mariano Rivera, the Red Sox win the East by 10 games...and you know it.

[tjvhou812]

Ortiz..Why, becuase he's Mr. Clutch and the yankee's suck

[Sammy Who??]

arod should be mvp.

ortiz is a fat slob that can't play the field.

all red sox fans suck cock btw

[redblkwht]

Toss up, i picked Ortiz, hes
had his strongest year for
this in 2005 IMO, well deserving.
