FinancialAdvisor, Thats entirly false. Why try to make something up other than what is being said. Many" and I mean many" times it has been said if he was to play the field then it wouild be different. I have no problem with a deserving red sox player or player from any other team that deserves being a MVP.I have said also I like Ortiz, I don't think despite his numbers a .278 batter should be a MVP. Maybe team MVP but not league MVP. Thome has very compairable numbers and also has a better batting average and I don't see you nominating him. Is that because he is not a Red Sox player? He is also a D.H. I don't even understand the big dispute in the 1st half of the season. Ortiz could become injured or Thome can. There are guys that are putting up great numbers and are batting .320-.340. No, they don't have as many RBI's as Ortiz has or home runs but he doesn't have the batting average they have and their gloves are fantastic. There are more things to look at than just RBI's and HR's when deciding on a season MVP. There is hitting for average, OBP, Fielding. Giambi has 27 HR's and 72 RBI's which are not real far away from Ortiz, Should his name be in the mix for MVP? Of course not, he's batting .260..lol
