24 year old second baseman for the Boston Red Sox, Dustin Pedroia, was announced AL MVP today. Pedroia hit .326 with 17 HRs and a .493 SLG% on the season, and carried the team when Drew and Papi were out of the lineup.Justin Morneau finished second in the voting, ahead of Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis and teammate Joe Mauer.
Interesting note - Jason Bartlett won a 5th place vote....why? How? This is the LEAGUE MVP. Not the RAYS MVP.
