Honestly you guys, if you can't admit that Arod deserved the award over Ortiz you either didn't watch any Yankees baseball games or you are just letting your hatred of the Yankees blind you. Arod lead his team in RBIs, Homers, Runs, OPS, and Avg. Ortiz just lead in RBIs and Homers, but was second in the AL in homers to none other than Arod. Arods numbers during crunch time in the last week of the season were hands down much more impressive than Ortiz's. Ortiz's avg. was in the .260s while Arod hit over .300. Arod had better hitting stats than Ortiz and hitting was Ortiz's only fighting chance of winning the award. Arod obviously outshined him defensively with some really superb plays that saved games. Remember guys, it takes a lot to get to that last walk-off hit.
Arod deserved it and I'm really surprised that a lot of you convinced yourselves that Ortiz should have won the award over Arod.
