  Had a hell of a year, very deserving.
  
  On a side note anybody think we should stop the whole media vote for this? Two bozo's one in the American League and one in the National League left Pedroia and Ryan Howard off of there ballots, completely off. So somehow these two writers thought that the even though Pedroia won and Howard came in 2nd in the NL voting that there were 10 better players in each respective league. Sounds a little fishy too me.

    Yeah I heard about that on the radio earlier. If the media will continue voting for huge awards like this, we should at least have some kind of process to determine who votes. It seems like there are tons of idiots voting nowadays.

  he deserves every bit of that honor. he gives you every ounce of effort at every at-bat. he may not give you big power #'s, but he's just as important. i think he has the right attitude towards the game too.

    It's awesome that he can hit anywhere in the lineup too. Remember those few weeks where he hit clean-up?

  he does deserve this. Petey has a lot oh heart and he brings up the ball club. He hits balls out of the park that seem impossable and his defence is amazing!!!!!!! so this year he won mvp, gold glove, and silver slugger, is there anything im missing???!!!!!!

  Plus I read a couple guys in the NL gave votes too Edison Volquez for rookie of the year and, he's not a rookie. Shameful.

    Yep, people are idiots. To be honest, there should be a bigger WTF? about that than there is about Pedroia being left off the guys ballot. He can vote for whoever he wants and try to justify it however he wants, but when the people that are voting don't know the qualifications for being a rookie? My god..

  Yeah I agree, it's ridiculous. I guess we shouldn't be surprised, most people covering baseball aren't anymore knowledgeable about baseball then you or I. Sometimes I truly think, in some cities, that the fans know more then the writers, owners, managers, and gms.
