I will use this thread's first post to put all the MVP Award story links as they are made available from that time on for Justin's historic season.
All posts have also been added to the Team Notes on pages 208/209.

It better not be a Red Sox. Or Grandy. Anyone else and I'm fine. Though I hope a Tiger wins either, JV or Cabby. Probably both long shots.

I feel the same about ellsbury. If he wins for a team that didn't make the playoffs, it smacks of hypocrisy. Cabrera from 2010. hamilton missed the last month of the year.

Of all the national sports sites, only usatoday had Cabrera as the MVP.

Verlander might still win with some 1st place votes, and 2nd or 3rd.
What might cost him are if any of these voters leave him off the ballot completely, which was the case iirc, with pedro.

I think Miguel is under appreciated by voters. He had a monster year. It should be him or JB from the Blue Jays if going purely on stats. But he made the playoffs. He should win.

hope Verly gets it..but the voters are pussys and may give it to a position guy.
 
Justin Verlander Wins the AL MVP

tuff call, but for some reason I think Cabrera might get it, althou J.V. is very deserving. it would be nice to see 3 Tigers in the top 10.

If Cabby gets it it'll be awesome.

Congratulations to Justin Verlander the American League Most Valuable Player.

He's on twitter. I am sure he's being bombarded with congrats!

Amazing that a SP could win. Was not sure after Pedro lost in 1999.

I'm sure some of these voters just didn't see a dominate position player.

some days it's great to be a Tiger fan. todays one of them!

CY Young, MVP, two no no's, 110 wins or thereabouts. That's good stuff. A great start to a HOF career. And ROY :)

Verlander has now won the Rookie of the Year Award, Cy Young Award and Most Valuable Player Award. He became just the second player in BBWAA history to earn all three awards.
Great start to a career already for a guy who was a rookie in 2006. He was the 10th pitcher to win both the MVP and Cy Young Award in the same season and the seventh in the AL.

What a great honor for JV, his diamond-studded resume just became a little brighter today. An amazing Tigers season gets capped off with a big 'F you' to all the East coast wankers out there.
