Morneau wins AL MVP, Guillen 10th

Minne’s Justin Morneau won the American League MVP. I could think of a guy I’d rather see win it… but he also played for Minnesota (Joe Mauer). But I take pleasure in the fact a more-deserving candidate than Derek Jeter won.

Carlos Guillen finished 10th, which, to me, isn’t a bad showing. His numbers justified a higher showing, but after first place, what’s it really matter? At least he got votes.

This is already dated, but I found it interesting that Twins blogger Aaron Gleeman off all people couldn’t even justify Justin Morneau’s win:

I don’t think Morneau was even the most valuable player on the Twins in 2006, let alone anything close to the most valuable player in the entire AL. In fact, I think he was the third-most valuable player on the team and, at best, the 10th-most valuable player in the league. I would have voted for Derek Jeter and if given a choice, I personally would have liked Joe Mauer or Johan Santana to win the award.
