Look the name of the award is the "American League Most Valuable Player" and I am tired of hearing how you have to be on a winning team or that a guy is more valuable to his team than this guy. Well that is why each team has an award for Most Valuable Player. The League MVP should be just that. Who was the best in the League. Do you really think Justin Morneau is better than Big Papi or Derek Jeter? Which player would you honestly rather have?Justin was not even the best player on his team, Joe Mauer was. The Red Sox had a disappointing year but does anybody's stats come close to Big Papi and where do you think the Red Sox would have finished without all the walk off hits he had. I know you guys will give me th D.H. argument but come on Justin plays first base. Is this a key position like catcher or shortstop? If anyone on this thread tries to tell me that statistically Justin is better for his team or the League than David Ortiz then I will not respect your baseball knowledge. Besides statistics who is better in the clutch than Ortiz? There is not one Major League Manager that would take Justin over Ortiz in a draft even Gardenhire. This MVP voting has been a sham for years and will continue to be as long as people who have never played the game continue to vote on these things. It is a joke. I mean Willie Hernandez, Rollie Fingers, Terry Pendleton, Barry Larkin, Mo Vaughn, Sammie Sosa (beat Maguire in 98 when Mack set record with 70hrs), And lets give the award to "Barry I do not use steroids Bonds" every chance we can. Does anybody hear what I am saying? Does this compute? Justin Morneau don't make me puke. :lol:

Wasn't Ortiz with the Twins before being released back in '03 or '04?

I know where you are going with this and it does not hold water. Ortiz signed with the Red Sox in 03 and in the second half of that year established himself as formidable threat in the Red Sox lineup and as they say the rest is history. The obviously shows the scouting talent of the twins is not very good but that happens to all teams. The Red Sox traded Curt Schilling, Jeff Bagwell, and others through the years. It is a part of the game and I would say the Twins made a big mistake dont you Bledsoetheboys? :D

Yes he is deserving but I think his teammate Joe Mauer should have won the award... :)

That is right Mauer won a batting title while playing the most difficult position. Morneau deserved some votes but he did not deserve to win. I could live with Jeter winning but like I said until they change the voting process these descrepences will continue to come up i.e. Rafael Palemero winning a Gold Glove mind you while playing half of his games at DH a few years ago. :thumb: What a joke!

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
