Wow kind of surprised.

Insert righteous indignation here.

another consistently awesome season by Miggy goes un-noticed. This will be the 5th time he finishes in the top 5.

At least it was a tremendously great pitching season that won it. Still disagree but not terribly upset.

apparently the Reds are shopping Alonso. I would love it if Melvin traded Marcum for him.

This. Hopefully it will open the door for other pitchers to win in the future.

They only impact 20% of the games their team plays. It doesn't need to be a regular occurrence. Pitchers have their own award.

Dennis Ecklersley won it in the AL in 1992. Bob Gibson won the NL MVP in 1968.

Not saying it should happen a lot, but when it's deserved, like Pedro in 1999, a pitcher should win.

Michael Young got a 1st place vote, lololol.

Good to see Kins nearly got into the top 10.

Was just coming to post that. Verlander wasn't even named on one ballot.
