Alex Rodriguez winning the AL-MVP is a joke! Is he the "best player" in the AL, I think so...did he do the most to help his team win? No. And therein lies the difference. The MVP should be the player who is "most valuable" to his team. How do you measure "value" in baseball? Easy: Wins and losses. The Rangers lost more games than they won. Don't you think they could do that without A-Rod?
