Since when? this is the same group that ...genius? Since when? this is the same group that has been using one hand to slap around the Metrodome while the other hand tries to get more fans to come out to "Twins Territory". <BR/><BR/>There's some Ortiz backlash out there right now...claiming Manny's power numbers are nearly as solid, but with a better average and on-base. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure how many numbers, other than average, JM's actually ahead of Big Papi...but he'll be in the discussion. Ortiz has momentum from last year...never underestimate the fact that momentum from a perceived slight can be HUGE. Jeter's a legit candidate...Hafner's not 'cuz his team's terrible and he's REALLY ugly. <BR/><BR/>Papi wins today...with Morneau, Jeter, Vernon, and Manny rounding out the top 5.Hopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550655405985722691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26514945.post-1155246176080434972006-08-10T14:42:00.000-07:002006-08-10T14:42:00.000-07:00I will say that Mauer is deserving of consideratio...I will say that Mauer is deserving of consideration, but Morneau is having a better year. Heck, how can you not consider him the front runner for the MVP or at least AP Player of the Year. Not only are his numbers just as good if not better then Papi, Hafner and Jeter (what??) but his team has more wins.<BR/><BR/>Do I smell another button campaign from the marketing genious that is the Twins staff??Smittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01876619621374862938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26514945.post-1155243702073030612006-08-10T14:01:00.000-07:002006-08-10T14:01:00.000-07:00Barreiro has a post up right now at Bump's Blog ab...Barreiro has a post up right now at <A HREF="http://rubechat.kfan.com/blogs/danbarreiro/archive/2006/08/10/745754.aspx" REL="nofollow">Bump's Blog</A> about Morneau. This might deserve a longer post, but essentially the argument that is bouncing around in my cranium is this:<BR/><BR/><I>Let's say it again: Mauer is the Twins' best player. The Justino is the Twins' 2006 MVP.</I><BR/><BR/>Not only that, what is it about Mauer that has multiple national people calling HIM an MVP candidate and not Morneau. Doesn't an objective observer see that Morneau is by far having the better season this year?
