The last major award will be announced later this afternoon. The Fake Teams voters have nailed every one, but the AL MVP is going to be iffy. See we voted for Boston Red Sox 2B Dustin Pedroia, and scrappy middle infielders are not amongst the most popular vote getters. However, Pedroia's totals were far and away better than the runner-up, Carlos Quentin of the Chicago White Sox.
Unless Boston Red Sox fans ran the equivalent of an ACORN vote campaign for Pedroia, I won't be surprised to see us nail the 6th and final major award. There is wisdom in crowds, and the Fake Teams crowd voted for Pedroia.
| Rank | Player | Team | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2B Dustin Pedroia | Boston Red Sox | 125 |
| 2 | LF Carlos Quentin | Chicago White Sox | 87 |
| 3 | CF Josh Hamilton | Texas Rangers | 86 |
| 4 | C Joe Mauer | Minnesota Twins | 86 |
| 5 | 1B Kevin Youkilis | Boston Red Sox | 72 |
| 6 | 1B Justin Morneau | Minnesota Twins | 61 |
| 7 | CF Grady Sizemore | Cleveland Indians | 59 |
| 8 | CL Francisco Rodriguez | Los Angeles Angels | 39 |
