Outstanding! MVP votes by writers will provide plenty of controversy. Folks already discussing Verlander. Do you think a pitcher playing in only 30-plus games deserves recognition? I don't. After all is said and done, pitchers have their own award. It's called the Cy Young Award. Frankly, I don't understand how starting pitchers factor into MVP voters minds? Keep your blogs coming! I've been forwarding to all my sporting buddies.

Not a fan of starting pitchers as MVP. I can see voting for relievers/closers (not this year). 2011 might go down as one of the toughest voting for AL/NL MVP's. Plenty of candidates.

Verlander wins AL MVP???????
Are you kidding me???? A player appearing in just 21% of his teams games wins MVP? A severe injustice to other deserving players.
