So it's Arod's 20 steals and the fact that he brings a glove to the game that makes him the MVP? If that's the case, then why didn't Ozzie Smith win every year?
In my mind, MVP is about who means the most to their team's success, and Ortiz has clearly meant more. If Arod had an amazing April and his team sucked ass, then I guess he didn't mean much. If he puts up most of his stats when the game is meaningless (non-clutch, nobody on base) then I guess he doesn't mean much.
If one team makes the playoffs and the other doesn't that's who will win the MVP.
However, it doesn't matter because Jason Giambi is the AL MVP
