Damn you getting here before I did.....Congrats to Josh!!! I would say the greatest individual Rangers season on obviously the greatest Rangers season of all time.

He probably should have won, but missing a lot of time at the end made me wonder if someone else might sneak in there.

I love seeing the entire voting breakdown and looking at the complete randomness of some folk's ballots.

Like how the hell does anyone have Cabrera 5th, or Bautista 1st, or Soriano 4th? It seems as though they did a better job with the voting in the AL compared to the NL though. Still can't believe Ryan Howard got 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th place votes.

I have to think all of the positive outliers have to belong to the hometown reporters, but you there are some really strange breakdowns that need to be explained by a few voters.

The Bautista #1 vote was from one of the Toronto media guys, Shi Davidi (he had Cabrera #2, Cano #3 and Hamilton 4th). Not sure how he gets a vote, there are many better baseball writers in Toronto. The other Canadian media guy, John Lott had Hamilton #1, Cano #2 and Bautista #3

In cities with multiple beat writers, the ballot for different awards get split among the writers, e.g. if Davidi voted for MVP somebody else in the Toronto market voted for AL Manager of the Year.

I'm really shocked the writers didn't vote Neftali Feliz the MVP.

Yeah, that makes sense. Have they expanded the vote beyond conventional "writers" at all? Put some token bloggers in there?
